I have seen ALIEN several times and I know there is a scene near the end
where "Jones" is put into a cage, Ripley is tearing down a corridor with
the cat and cage  trying to get to the  shuttle  when she runs  into the
Alien.  At this  point  she  drops  the  cage  and she  runs  off in the
opposite direction.  We see the cat in the cage looking up at the Alien;
and see the  Alien  curiously  studying  the  cat.  Whether  the cat was
impregnated,  I don't know.  I don't know why the  director  would spend
time on this scene if it wasn't somehow  connected and  important.  Then
again,   I'm  sure   that   there's   a  good   chance   that  I'm  just
over-speculating.  At any rate, I hope we don't  have  flamethrowers  in
spaceships this time.
