Can u name a famous housecat?

I was trying to boost Athena's self esteem (like any normal pet owner does) by telling her she's the prettiest cat in the history of cats. Shes gettin older so gotta make sure she doesn't get depressed. I told her she's better than all Egyptian cats in history and those ppl thought cats were Gods or whatever.

Then I wanted to name a specific cat she's better than and all I could come up with is simba and mufasa and scar. (Scar's a dick so obviously she's better than he but the other 2 are the best cats in wild cat history.) But those are wild cats like I said...kings of rhe jungle.

So help me out. The greatest cat in the world (Athena puss) is better than what famous housecat?

She's gonna feel sad and grumpy and scratchy if u can't help me here.

Is Athena better than D.C. from That Darn Cat, Sassy from Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey and the unnamed cat from Breakfast At Tiffany's (whose real name was Orangey)? That's not for me to say. I don't personally know her.

We got a cat when I was in high school.
I wanted to name it Cujo.
I thought it would be fun to come home with a date and say "Cujo, is that you???"
Mom nixed it....

I have an aunt that is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Until you mention a cat. Then she very matter-of-factly says, "Oh let's put it in a sack and throw it in the lake."

Tell her she's happier than...

Well I stand corrected. I did think abt tom and Jerry after I posted that but you all gave very good examples.

And I def watched Heathcliff as a kid. Should have thought of that one.

My mother and stepfather had a cat. When they divorced, he kept the cat. 15 years later he passed (a couple months ago) and my mother wanted the cat. We spoke last night and she told me that she is very very reminded how much work a cat is, and how much sleep they interrupt.

That cat is old as shit now. Unless it was a newborn kitten when they got it. Even still it's it's senior citizen kitty. Also sucks abt ur dad. Sorry.

Mine does meow in the middle of the night sometimes but not enough to be a huge bother. Keep food water and the cat box clean and it's not much work in my experience.

Once again, I was with Mrs Scotch when she was taking care of an occasional client's dogs, one of which is a schnauzer. Originally, it was 2 schnauzers, but 1 died a couple of years ago. I previously posted a picture about a year ago.

Now the client has the 1 schnauzer and some sort of Lhasa Apso thing. Here's the schnauzer with Tali
