I was talking with my driving instructor about the James Bond film, and it occured to me that I don’t remember the Bond/Blofeld struggle ever climaxing. Most of the old one focus on SPECTRE and Blofeld’s plans, the new ones focus on non-recurring megalomaniacs. But since I’ve never really made a point of seeing them all, Im just wonering is there a film where Bond finally stuffs Blofeld’s cat down his throat?
I don’t think he does in the films.
In the book You Only Live Twice**, Bond strangles Blofeld with his bare hands.

At the beginning of “For Your Eyes Only,” Bond is visiting the grave of his deceased wife, Tracy. (From “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”) Blofeld attempts to kill bond using a remote-controlled helicopter while observing from a nearby site. Bond commandeers the 'copter, picks up Blofeld in his wheelchair on one of the skids, and drops him from a great height into a factory smokestack. Never to be heard from again, one assumes.
What pldennison said. Quite a scene, that.
The cat got away, though.
The story behind this scene: Kevin McClory, who co-wrote Thunderball, owned the rights to the character of Blofeld and SPECTRE, had sued to allow UA to let him do his own Bond movie, and won. His movie was Never Say Never Again - notice that it’s basically a remake of Thunderball. So the Bond producers killed off Blofeld at the beginning of For Your Eyes Only as a slap in the face to McClory, to show that the series didn’t need SPECTRE nor Blofeld and could continue without them.
As I should be strangled for not using Preview.
Which is why John Hollis was uncredited in the role; if only to forestall yet another lawsuit from McClory, the bald man in grey with the white Persian cat is technically never acknowledged to be Blofeld.
Wow! he was Lobot also? cool!
This was due to one of the clauses in the settlement of the case-the movie that McClory made had to be based on Thunderball.
Just a couple of added details:
1.) The villain in The Spy Who Loved Me was supposed to be Blofeld, back for another try, until they stumbled over the legalities again, so the name was changed to Stromberg.
2.) You can assume, if you wish, that Blofeld was killed at the end of Diamonds Are Forever, when Bond slammed his mini-sub into the side of the buildings on the pseudo-drilling rig. Of course they never said he was killed, but it seems likely.
3.) Robert Benton, who has been continuing the Bond series of books, and who wrote The James Bond Bedside Companion, is of the opinion that the opening of For Your Eyes Only was meant to be a sort of “Dream Sequence”. This would make #2 above plausible.
Hey, does Blofeld’s cat have a name, by the way? Is that ever mentioned in the books?
Dunno, but do you suppose Blofeld had his henchmen feed him Fancy Feast catfood out of those crystal goblets? 
Not only that, but I see Jeremy Bulloch was also uncredited as “Smithers” - maybe they were starving-UK-extras buddies…
In the books Blofeld does not have a cat (at least it’s never mentioned.)
Major spoilers ahead.
Ernst Blofeld only appears in three novels. He is introduced as the commander of SPECTRE in Thunderball, but stays in the background, never becoming directly involved or meeting James Bond. The actual field operation (stealing a pair of A-bombs) was controlled by Emilio Largo.
The next book, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, opens with Bond taking part in an international manhunt for Blofeld and becoming so disenchanted with it, he considers resigning (this was reversed in the movie, in which Bond threatens to resign if he’s ordered not to continue the search). Along the way, Bond meets Theresa (Tracy) Draco and eventually goes undercover at Blofeld’s Austrian allergy clinic. In true Hamlet style, Bond doesn’t just shoot Blofeld on sight, but hangs around long enough to catch wind of the larger plot. As in the movie, Blofeld escapes down a bobsled run (though unlike the movie, he is not injured in the process) and in the final pages, Blofeld machine-guns Tracy shortly after her marriage to Bond.
You Only Live Twice opens with Bond being suitably devastated and his work all going to hell. M sends Bond to Japan on what is considered a fairly easy assignment, but once there, Bond uncovers Blofeld living under the name of Shatterhand (no, really). Seeking revenge, Bond ninjas his way into Blofeld/Shatterhand’s medeival castle, strangles Blofeld and manages to blow the whole place up. In the process, Bond receives a head injury and amnesia (no, really) and at the end of the book, he has a compulsion to travel to nearby Vladivostok because the name is familiar to him.
The Man With the Golden Gun opens with Bond’s return to England. The Soviets picked him up and realizing that his head injury made him open to suggestion, programmed him to assassinate M. M narrowly avoids death and instead of having Bond imprisoned or killed, has him undergo extensive psychotherapy to return him to more-or-less normal. This is the last Fleming novel published, though it would be followed by Octopussy and the Living Daylights, a set of 3 short stories, none of which mention Blofeld.
At no time in any novel was a cat or any other pet associated with Blofeld.
No. Blofeld is menacing enough, and the cat doesn’t really need a name to be menacing.
The Austin Powers films poke fun at this by giving the Blofeld-like villain’s cat the ridiculous name of “Mr. Bigglesworth.”
“When I get angry, Mister Bigglesworth gets upset. [sub]::mrrrrorw::[/sub] And when Mister Bigglesworth gets upset…people DIE!!!” 
My favorite line in the movie.
Switzerland! Not Austria! :mad:
