Socks the White House cat under Clinton and Humphrey, his counterpart in the UK, under John Major. They both got a lot of coverage. I even have a Tshirt with Socks on it!

ANd all the cats in TSL Eliot's Book of Practical Cats, many of whom were based on real cats. They got their own musical.

Also these cartoon cats from Top Cat : T.C., Benny the Ball, Choo-Choo, Brain, Fancy-Fancy, Spook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Cat#Characters However, the series only had a 5-month run and therefore relatively speaking they are not famous

Does anyone remember the movie Cat's Eye? What was the cat's name?

Sleepwalkers - lots of cats in that and Clovis
There's also the cat in King's story The Cat from Hell which was adapted to part of the Tales from the Darkside movie.

Spot from Star Trek TNG

Andre Norton was a cat lover and featured a lot of cats in her books, too many to list.

There's also a lot of cats in various anime if anyone wants to use those.

I love Toonces and Spot! I remember the movie Cat's Eye, with a young Drew Barrymore, but don't remember the cat's name.

There was a wonderful cat in the book Coraline, but I think he remained nameless, or was called "the cat." And I remember a movie from childhood about a cat name Tomasina.

There was Kitty, but she died (in real life, too

) and they got a new cat named Joel. So there's 2!

I like Bucky! (from the comic strip Get Fuzzy). And Mooch (from Mutts). And, um. . .there's another strip on the comic pages, the lady has a cat. I don't know if that cat has a name but it's in most of the strips. Can't remember the name, though.
