> [@Truman\_Burbank](#): > > Petronius the Arbiter from \*\*Door Into Summer \*\*by Heinlein. And, of course, Pixel from more than one of the later novels and Heinlein’s real life. But I’d take Pete any day, especially now that I live in a Connecticut farmhouse outside the NYC blast range. ---

Mittens from _Bolt_. The mysterious (slightly magical?) cat in _Coraline_. Power Girl’s cat in the rebooted comics. He has a serious attitude problem. And fortunately, no super powers. Oppenheimer, Feynman, Heisenberg, Zazzy etc. Though they weren’t around long. Ha! That brings up… Schrodinger’s cat ---

mehitabel (archy’s friend. For those who don’t know, they were characters created by Don Marquis. archy was a cockroach who couldn’t work the shift key on the typewriter, and typed his poems in all lower case.) Oh, and Macavity by T.S. Eliot. It occurs to me that Greebo, mehitabel, and Macavity all have much the same personality. ---
