Continuity mistake: When Rimmer suggests bringing Legion with him, Lister says he's not going to come with them, and asks if he would ever join in on their late night sessions of pin the pointy stick on the weather girl. At The End of the line, Lister is looking to the right, but in the next shot, he is suddenly looking downwards. (00:12:35)
Revealing mistake: When Lister hits Legion over the head, his mask falls off. In the shot that shows Rimmer, Cat and Kryten in the foreground sitting at the table and Lister and Legion in the background, Legion's face can be seen and it is apparent that it is not the combination of the four that is his face, but in fact the actor's real face. (00:21:15)
Continuity mistake: When Legion puts his mask back on, just as he says "Kryten knows", the mask is not properly fixed on, leaving his chin exposed, but when the camera is on him next, the mask is suddenly fixed into place. (00:21:35)
Gunmen of the Apocalypse - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When Lister tells Rimmer that the escape pod is not an option, Lister is looking at Rimmer, but in the next shot, he is looking down at Kryten. (00:12:20)
Continuity mistake: When Lister is explaining the ending of the movie, he says "It's about a dude who sacrifices his life for love" whilst Rimmer looks at him, but in the next shot, Rimmer is suddenly looking forwards before turning back to Lister saying "as if." (00:02:55)
Continuity mistake: When Kryten tells Rimmer he doesn't have the brain that can accept an implant, he says "No" and begins walking around the table. Kryten has his hands raised with his right hand slightly lower than the left, but in the next shot, both hands are suddenly level with each other. (00:22:05)
Terrorform - S5-E3
Continuity mistake: When Kryten cuts off his hand, all of the fingers on the hand are straight and level with each other, but when he goes to attach his eye to one of the fingers, the middle finger is suddenly raised. (00:02:35)
Continuity mistake: When Starbug bursts out of Red Dwarf, the shot from behind shows Starbug spinning in circles, but the shot from in front shows Starbug flying normally. (00:04:00)
Quarantine - S5-E4
Audio problem: When Rimmer is talking to Lister, Cat and Kryten in the dress, the Cat says "We thought you'd gone nuts" and the shot cuts to Rimmer where the Cat then says "We were trying to heal you." When the shot is on Rimmer, the Cat's reflection can be seen in the mirror and his mouth doesn't move with the line. (00:21:05)
Revealing mistake: With the Matter Paddle, Kryten transports into the sleeping quarters, and then transports onto the bunk. When Kryten transports onto the bunk, the Cat's position on his chair visibly alters on screen, showing where the scene was edited to make Kryten appear as if he transporting. (00:03:15)
Revealing mistake: When Kryten transports the Matter Paddle back to Red Dwarf, the position of Kryten's hand visibly alters on screen, revealing where the scene was edited to make the paddle appear as if it had transported. (00:06:30)
Continuity mistake: When Camille asks Kryten if they could make it, Kryten puts his glass down on the table. In the next shot, it is suddenly back in his hand, being put back down again. (00:22:35)
Continuity mistake: Lister enters with a tray with some food on to give to Kryten. The position of the tray changes position between shots. (00:10:10)
Revealing mistake: When it is revealed that the DNA modifier has made Lister smaller, Rimmer, Cat and Kryten all have shadows cast on the floor, but Lister does not. (00:25:25)
Visible crew/equipment: When Lister puts his mutton vindaloo on the DNA modifier, the pole used to make the vindaloo float can be seen when the beam is cast on the dish. (00:22:55)
Continuity mistake: When Lister has been made smaller, one shot shows him holding the bazooka, but the next shot shows him with his hand lowered. (00:25:30)
Continuity mistake: When Lister sarcastically thanks the Cat for visiting him, Lister looks forwards, but in the next shot is looking at the Cat. (00:03:35)
Continuity mistake: When the group are about to open the door with the heat seeking missiles inside and the Polymorph sneaks up behind them, Lister is standing at the front of the group, Cat and Kryten are behind Lister and Rimmer is standing at the back, behind all three. In the next shot, as the missiles exit the door, Rimmer is now suddenly standing front of Cat. (00:24:40)
Revealing mistake: When Rimmer is piloting Starbug in Lister's body, there is a shot of Starbug spinning in circles. This is a shot that was taken from S3 E2 Marooned, of Starbug crashing after colliding with the asteroid. The only difference is the planet in the background has been changed. (00:22:10)
Continuity mistake: When Lister (in Rimmer's body), Cat and Kryten are chasing Rimmer in Blue Midget, the exterior shot shows all three sitting in one row. From the interior, Cat is sitting in front of Lister and Kryten, and Lister and Kryten are sitting behind Cat. (00:22:40)
Answer: Presumably he does, but it's never been used in any material related to the show. He is the only Cat left (as shown in Series 1), so even if he had once had a name, nobody would know it.
