That Darn Robot Cat!
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It was fun seeing Garrett Dillahunt play that ordinary non-evil guy - before we saw him being a terminator.
Was it just me or was Robot!Garrett significantly taller than Human!Garrett?
That Darn Robot Cat!
Is Dean Jones still alive? There's gotta be a role for him in this.

Almost too many, as he went from geeky-kind-of-shy to snarky-confident very quickly, but I love it.
See what sleeping with Jack does for you? Actually, it’s probably been a progression over the 6 months that Jack’s been gone. His confidence level built with the level of responsibility.
Was the younger FBI guy played by the same actor who played Cyborg on Smallviille?
Yes the Famous Jett Jackson, Lee Young.
Also TIME PARADOX. If they destroyed the factory where she was made and the materials to make her, how does she exist? Was she made elsewhere?

Yes! I kept expecting her to fade out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought so too. I wonder if the FBI guy noticed.

They haven't shown how time paradoxes resolve themselves. Would she fade out? Would she retroactively not have existed, so their memories would be clean? However, it's perfectly possible that she just got made elsewhere with some other...Celadon (what was it??) just like Skynet has rerouted its creation.
Just like the Internet finds a way to get your packet from source to destination, Skynet seems to be finding a way to its creation despite interruption of the primary and shortest path.
Now I'm earwormed with "Que Sera, Sera"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe Skynet is inevitable because it's all part of God's plan....
OK, probably not, but that would be funny....
Anyway, my gut feeling at the beginning of the series was there'd be a shitload of time paradoxes, so I resolved just to ignore them....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, they didn't destroy the factory. And she kept a bar of coltran. I was wondering the same thing, though.
And I suppose I'm the only one now listening to "The Robot Cat" by Logan Whitehurst.

I would think that she kept a bar of coltran so that she could repair herself if needed. Smart. Plus, it can probably be used as a weapon against the terminators.

Thrive to spite them
Now I want to see a poster with a hairless kitty paw reaching out to the befuddled FBI Guy with the line "come with me if you want to live".

Heh.
Ok, I'd totally forgotten that SNL already did the Terminator kitty...
November 16, 1991 host: Linda Hamilton — "The Tooncinator." Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and her son John (Edward Furlong) are trying to escape from the Terminator (Phil Hartman), but the Terminator has come to inform them about the Tooncinator. Sarah is astounded that they would send a robot cat from the future that could drive. ("But not very well," Terminator amends.) The Tooncinator arrives and is impervious to both car crashes and gun fire. Eventually Sarah stops the car, over the terrified Terminator's objections, because she thinks that Tooncinator just wants to be their kitty. They all then go over the cliff.
