Corrected entry: When everyone first arrives at Kevin's house, Pam says to Greg, "I was sure I told you, Kevin is Bob's best man, this is his place." But Pam didn't know that it was Kevin's house until they arrived there, so she could not have been sure that she had told him.

Correction: It's all in how you interpret her turn of words. It is just as likely that she knew they were heading over to Kevin's, even if she herself did not know exactly where it was (and neglected to tell Greg where they were going). In that case, the statement "I was sure I told you" only reflects Kevin being best man, and "this is his place" was added on to explain where they were.

Corrected entry: Jack shouldn't know that the fake Jinx's tail had to be spray-painted. While he can obviously smell the spray paint, he never saw the fake cat before, so there is no way he could have known that the cat's tail looked different from the real Jinx's.

Correction: It is not exactly a difficult conclusion to draw. Jack smelled paint on a strange cat that looked exactly like Jinx, so he naturally concluded that the paint was there to alter its appearance.

Also, Jack might have called the local shelter to see if anyone had brought in a cat matching Jinx's description. If he did, someone probably mentioned the cat with the white tip on its tail.

Corrected entry: Greg is calling for Jinx in the car, and there is no reason for him to do it because even if the cat could hear him over the sound of the car, the windows are rolled up.

Correction: He is not really calling for Jinx, but is merely making the noises as a sort of mantra to make Jinx appear at the right moment. Many people do this, even when looking for inanimate objects.

Corrected entry: When Greg is leaving to go to the airport, he's wearing what appear to be the same clothes he was wearing when he and Pam first arrived in New York. When he's waiting to board the plane at the airport, his shirt has changed.

Correction: He has gotten his suitcase back at this point, and has had plenty of opportunity to change at the airport. There is even a shot of him stuffing his clothes back into the bag while he is waiting (and you never see him take them out, this happens off camera).
