Plot
—– Quitters, Inc. ….Cigarette smoker Dick Morrison (James Woods), recommended by a friend, joins Quitters, Inc. to kick his habit. Clinic counselor Dr. Vinnie Donatti (Alan King) explains the clinic’s uniquely persuasive method—if Dick smokes a cigarette, various horrors will befall his wife and child.
Using the cat that Donatti’s assistant Junk has caught in the street, Donatti demonstrates the first of these horrors: The cat is locked in a cage and given electric shocks. Donatti explains that if his new client should be caught with a cigarette, Dick’s family will be subjected to the same shocks while he is forced to watch.
Dick ultimately cannot resist the temptation, and his wife pays the price. The family then have a dinner party with friends but Dick discovers the women is missing a finger.

—– The Ledge……Former tennis pro Johnny Norris (Robert Hays) is involved with a woman whose estranged but jealous husband is a crime boss, casino owner Cressner (Kenneth McMillan). Cressner, who will bet on anything, wins a wager that the cat will successfully cross the busy road outside his casino. He takes the cat home.
Cressner kidnaps Norris. As an amusing form of revenge, Cressner blackmails Norris into a dangerous ordeal: Norris must circumnavigate the exterior ledge of Cressner’s penthouse apartment in a gothic skyscraper. If he can make it all the way around, Cressner will grant his wife a divorce. If Norris refuses, Cressner will call the police and have him arrested for possession of drugs, which have been planted in Norris’ car.
Norris agrees. During the circumnavigation attempt Cressner appears on balconies and at windows to taunt and distract him. Despite Cressner’s efforts Norris makes it back to Cressner’s apartment and they engage in a fight which one of Cressner’s accomplices is shot and Norris is helped by the cat. Norris gains the upper hand and forces Cressner to do the circumnavigation himself. Cressner then comes across a pigeon and tries to kick it away but falls off the ledge and to his death watched by the cat.

—– The General…..The cat is adopted by a little girl, Amanda (Drew Barrymore), who names him General. The cat runs afoul of the girl’s mother (Candy Clark), who believes he will harm their pet parrot.
Despite Amanda’s protests, the mother puts the cat out at night. As a consequence he is unable to protect Amanda from a malevolent troll that has also taken up residence in the house until he manages to find another way in. The troll kills the parrot and then tries to steal Amanda’s breath but General comes in and battles the troll but the troll escapes leaving Amanda and her parents to discover the death of the parrot. The parents are convinced that General killed the parrot but the father discovers a wound on the cat (caused by the trolls dagger in the fight) and starts to have doubts on the mother’s belief that the parrot caused the wound by pecking General.
General is then taken to the animal shelter by the mother and is scheduled to be euthanised the next day (by the mother’s request) but General escapes when given food and makes his way back the girls house.
General again battles and successfuly defeats the troll, causing a great deal of noise. The ruckus awakens her parents, who are initially incapable of getting to her, due to the door being blocked. Once they manage to get into her room, the girl explains to them that General saved her from the troll. The parents are at first unwilling to believe the story until part of the troll’s corpse is discovered as well as the dagger that caused General’s wound in the first battle. Amanda uses the justification that General will keep her safe in case others like her first assailant appear and General is allowed to stay inside at night to act as a protector for Amanda.

Insult to injury: Wallace Weatherholt lost his hand to an alligator and was arrested for feeding the beast
………………………….
.
The 63-year-old lost his right hand after an alligator leaped out of the water and bit off the limb.
The alligator was tracked down and killed, but doctors were unable to reattach the hand.
Holidaymakers on the airboat told wildlife officials Weatherholt had been dangling a fish over the water to entice the alligator.
It is a criminal offence to feed alligators.
Weatherholt,who works at Captain Doug’s Small Airport Tours in Everglades City, was with a party of six tourists when the attack occurred.
Despite losing his hand he was able to steer the airboat back to the base where he was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.
Feeding gators is a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida.

Weatherholt was held in Collier County Jail on ,000 bond but has since posted out.
Alligator expert David Weathers said when gators are fed, they lose their natural fear of humans and are more likely to attack.
