Secondly, in Never Say Never Again, a non-Eon film which McClory was involved in.

This is an injoke by Eon about dumping the Blofeld character, and thus McClory. The Blofeld clone is later unceremoniously dumped down a chimney by Bond using a helicopter, but not before Solomon the Cat manages to escape from him (and so survives). The man was not officially Blofeld at the time, but is clearly based on him.

Firstly, in For Your Eyes Only, an Eon film in which a Blofeld clone character appears with a cat called Solomon.

But there are two eighties appearances related to the McClory affair: Thus, the cat's official last appearance in Eon productions, before Daniel Craig's tenure, was in Diamonds are Forever.

Another was right before Blofeld's presumed death in For Your Eyes Only, where the cat is seen making a run for it when Bond reveals his survival and flies toward Blofeld. One scene was in You Only Live Twice when the base was discovered to be under attack by ninjas, where the cat is struggling to get out of Blofeld's arms (an unscripted reaction to the sudden explosions).
