Matt Damon stopped by the Late Show With Stephen Colbert this week, and somehow they got on the topic of Damon’s cat.
The Oppenheimer actor described how he and his wife gained the feline’s trust while staying at an AirBnB in Costa Rica. The cat, who was living on the edge of the nearby jungle and “fighting for his life every night,” gratefully accepted food from the Damons and grew to trust them over the month they spent at the rental.
“By the end we were like, ‘We have to take this cat. This guy’s gonna die. Now he’s relying on us.'”
It turns out the little brawler was done with living rough and enthusiastically took to the life of a pampered house cat.
“He moves into our house, and I’m thinking ‘I have a little yard out in LA, it’ll be great out there [for him],'” Damon told Colbert. “He never went outside ever again.”
Damon’s cat had a serious health scare, but the story has a happy ending and it’s better to hear Damon tell it, so turn up your speakers/headphones:
Yes, Damon’s cat may be “jacked,” and he may even be the Arnold Schwarzenegger of felines, but surely he doesn’t compare to the OG of ripped and meowscular cats.
Good for him!! Respect for anyone who does this. One of my clients went overseas, not sure where, and not only does this resort fix and feed cats but made shelters close to resorts. He sent me a photo of sweet cat sitting on chair at his table. 🤣🤣Friendly ones come to hang out. A very well fed one.

😎 Cool story! Did Matt Damon says the cat’s name is Kudzu? Or did he say something like Cutsu? The video’s not working well for me and I couldn’t tell. We had a cat I named Kudzu.
