A) They told him it was a makeup test. He showed up resembling the version of Vito Corleone we all know and love and it was obvious the role was made for him.

Q) I think Brando ultimately became the owner, but where did the lap-cat come from at the beginning of GF1 and what problems arose from the cat being in the scene?

Edit: Forgot to mention the "who" part of the question... smile

It was FFC's idea to tell Brando it was a makeup test because he couldn't bring himself to tell Marlon Brando that he had to do a screen test. He didn't like seeing the once-mighty Brando so desperate for a role.
