Mr. Trunkles (Cat)
Cat daddy Jesse Eisenberg and one of his cats named Mr. Trunkles appeared in a video for the New Yorker Festival in 2014. The festival hosted a debate on if dogs or cats are superior. Obviously on “Team Cats”, Eisenberg couldn’t attend so he made this video, where he claimed he couldn’t be there in person because he was on vacation in Hawaii with Mr. Trunkles. While Jesse’s cat, Mr. Trunkles, did not provide his own quote, we’re sure he would agree with Eisenberg’s comments.
In the video, Eisenberg said, “I’ve always just had cats as companions, which is what Mr. Trunkles is. He is my cat companion. He’s so great. And he’s also my best friend. I know. I know, it’s totally corny to say that, my cat’s my best friend. But in my case I think it’s actually true, you know.”
Jesse Eisenberg doesn’t just reserve his affection for the silver screen; he extends it to felines in need as well. He routinely opens his home to abandoned and stray cats, providing them with temporary shelter until they land in their permanent abodes. It’s as if his box office successes translate into more opportunities to foster kitties, amplifying his impact both in Hollywood and in the world of cat rescue.
