I get the sentiment, but Ripley has a daughter.

Ripley has a daughter though.

The people who keep posting this have obviously never seen Alien.

It’s not her cat and she has a daughter.

Oooh, so close. Ripley had a daughter. They cut the scene about that in the second movie when they edited it down for The shorter cinematic runtime. Much like Terminator 2, the director's cut which reincludes such content makes the movie much better.

Spoiler:

In the case of the movie Alien, Ripley finds out her daughter died of old age, and it serves as a plot point to build up why she gets so rapidly and heavily attached to Newt later on.

And its not her cat. It's the ship's cat.

That’s how cats always come into your life. You just look down one day and there they are!

Forced impregnation is rape no?

They can, because I'm broadcasting on guard.
