Is this a real screenshot?

The actor cat who played Lucky was pretty chill, but ALF was pretty insistent upon telling the family that he wanted to indulge in some tasty cat recipes. It didn't feel violent or real. Just silly. I haven't seen the show since 1989, but that screenshot seems dead on balls accurate.

Probably?

Some known Melmacian cat dishes include chili cat, "El Gato" stew, feline and fries, calico claws, cat tails, whisker omelet, breast of cat, cats Benedict, filet of cat, stir-fried cat, feline mignon, and cat fudge sundae.

The Tanner family owned two cats over the course of the show. The first cat was named Lucky. The idea behind eating Lucky was a running gag for ALF, but he later realizes that when the Tanners demand ALF not do anything to their cat, he values their trust in him more than a meal. When Lucky passed away due to natural cause while sleeping, ALF first thought he could claim the corpse, but that was thwarted by Willie, who demand ALF not do anything untoward to Lucky's ear[th]ly remains. ALF then considered the idea of accepting free cats advertised in the newspaper classifieds so he could eat them. ALF's long-awaited meal was interrupted by the Tanners coming home from church, who demand ALF not eat any cats at all in their home. Willie Knows That ALF Eats Cats , but they keep the last one and Brian names him Lucky II.
