Any of the Kliban cats. But most especially the one sitting on the stool playing guitar and singing (paraphrased) “Love to eat them mousies, mousies what I love to eat. Bite they little heads off, nibble on they tiny feet.”

For some reason, I always hear it in the voice of Daddy Dewdrop, the guy who recorded “Chickaboom” back in the early 70s.

Never ceases to make me chuckle. 😃

Behemoth, from _The Master and Margarita_.

Who could resist a wise-cracking, vodka-drinking, pistol-packing demonic cat?

Good one, but this is my favorite Kliban cat cartoon: [http://suprmchaos.com/kliban4\_mam.jpg](http://suprmchaos.com/kliban4_mam.jpg)

“Trout trout” gets me every time.

Did you know that Kipling did a drawing of him, too? We have this on a hot plate: [Luxury fashion & independent designers | SSENSE](http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=22454867)

_Penelope Pussycat_ is the name, but she had no name given in the first couple of cartoons.

The flatcats from Heinlein’s _Rolling Stones_.

Nimitz the treecat from Weber’s _Honor Harrington_ books.

Tevildo, Prince of Cats from early drafts of Tolkien’s works.

Tybalt, from Shakespeare’s _Romeo and Juliet_. OK, not literally.

Morris was “played by” a real cat, but the “persona” (“cat-tona”?) was fictional, and one of my all-time favorite cats. Every time I talk to a cat, I hear Morris talking back to me!

Also, Cassandra Cat in Slylock Fox is pretty hot.

I get a kick out of that Persian cat in the \*Fancy Feast \*commercials. My own cat is too low-class to eat like that. He gets his food in a bowl, like reg’lar folks.

Far from a “favorite” of mine but there must be somebody out there who could sit still for [Keyboard Cat 10 hours](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2ulyJuvU3Q)

I’d rather gamble on [10 HOURS Epic Funny Cats ! (BIGGEST Cats Fails Compilation in the World)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJUBwNguJpQ)  
Got more like these that annoy you to the point of enjoyment? 😃

Isis, the cat in Star Trek’s Assignment: Earth! Or rather, the babe that had about 9 seconds of screen time when Roberta Lincoln looked at her.

Fonzie. He was one cool cat!
