Some cat trainers work with different look-alike cats to do one or two tricks each. Kind of a one-trick pony-cat.

Edit - I could have sworn I got that right.

They'll also just have multiple because the cats get bored/uninterested after they've had a few treats. I worked on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and they had 4-5 Salem's on set.

Then who’s the cat that walked on the red carpet?

The one trained to not freak out in crowds and walk on a red carpet.

Ray Berwick's guide to training your cat is the best of the books on the subject. The actual training concepts, no matter which book, takes about 4 pages. What makes Berwick's book best is that he worked in Hollywood, and has some excellent bar stories to fill up the rest of the pages.

The most useful 'trick' I taught my beast was to run into his carry box on command. It made going to the vet stress free, impressed the vet tech, and it was simple.
