Famous Cats Named Alfie

1 notable cat from books, films, comics, and pop culture who share the name Alfie.

Alfie The silver Scottish Fold belonging to reclusive spy novelist Elly Conway in Matthew Vaughn's 2024 action-comedy Argylle. Alfie is rarely far from Elly's side, riding along in a clear-domed argyle backpack that became one of the film's signature images. On screen the cat was played by Chip, Vaughn's own family Scottish Fold — a pet of his wife, model Claudia Schiffer — after a previously cast cat proved too expensive and too poor an actor, earning Chip the affectionate nickname Nepo Kitty. Schiffer brought Chip to the premiere in the same bubble backpack.
