The Sopranos: 10 Funniest Paulie Moments
6. The Bada Bing! Cat (Made In America. Season 6, Episode 21)
Going into the final episode of the series, speculation and mystery dominated the build-up to one of the most anticipated series finales of all time. Audiences would have been well aware that the culmination of The Sopranos was likely to be one of the most tense and brutal of the entire series. Generally this was the case for the episode, with the exception of one Paulie Walnuts!
With the New York-New Jersey mob war ongoing and Tony very likely facing a stint in prison, Paulie seemed to be more bothered by the strange cat that had recently settled at the Bada Bing!
Initially audiences can be forgiven for dismissing the gangster's grievances as a typical Paulie overreaction. However, when the cat becomes transfixed with a photo of the recently deceased Chris, even the biggest deniers of the supernatural may begin to have second thoughts.
Before Paulie can get rid of the cat for good, Tony walks in and Paulie suddenly stops his tirade. Tony Sirco later revealed during the Today show's Sopranos 20th Anniversary reunion that Paulie did indeed kill the cat!
Paulie: These are snakes with fur. The old Italians'll tell ya, you can't even put 'em around a baby. They suck the breath right out.
