OK, there's one thing bothering me regarding “Alien: Earth”: If you're on a decades-long deep space mission that requires cryo pods, how do you have cats on board the spaceship? Do they have their own little cryo pods? Or are they just semi-feral and evolve into a new species over time, like in “Red Dwarf”?
There is a red cat briefly seen on the Maginot. If I recall correctly, there is also a cat on the Nostromo. How?
I mean, sure, cats have historically been part of ship crews, but in space?
