Pixel (from Heinlein’s later works) is the first that comes to mind. A cat who can transport himself across space and time to different universes and also travel through solid surfaces…that may be the most amazing cat ever. Puss in Boots was the second that came to mind. Again another talented and accomplished cat. The cat from “My Father’s Dragon” is not that amazing though he can talk, but he was still one of my favorite fictional cats. ---
