Princess Carolyn, 'BoJack Horseman'
Though she's not the most popular pussycat on our list, Princess Carolyn wins the spot for her feline tendencies. Do you know another diva agent who chases a mouse toy as she works out? No, you do not.

Puss in Boots, 'Shrek' Universe
Cute, deadly, and fashionable, this furry assassin has it all. Just beware of when he takes off his hat and gives you the cutest stare imaginable.

Mr. Bigglesworth 'Austin Powers' Universe
Austin Powers' arc nemesis wouldn't be nearly as memorable without his constant companion, Mr. Bigglesworth. Mr. Bigglesworth proved that hairless cats could be beautiful. Did I say beautiful? I mean hilarious.

HOMEWARD BOUND II:  Lost in San Francisco, 1996
Sassy, 'Homeward Bound'
If this movie didn't break your heart, then you're a monster. All the sassy Sassy wanted was to return home to her owner, Hope. We all felt her pain when she fell into that river.

Cheshire Cat, 'Alice in Wonderland' 2010
The idol of mischievous cats everywhere, the Cheshire Cat annoyed Alice with his confusing riddles just as much as your cat annoys you when she knocks over everything on your counter.

THE BUGS AND TWEETY SHOW, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Tweety,
Sylvester, 'Looney Toons' Universe
Though Sylvester's one goal in life was to eat the beloved Tweety bird, he was so grossly incompetent, we couldn't help but love this classic cat. Plus, Sylvester had one of the most memorable voices in animated history.

Garfield, 'Garfield' Universe
Garfield embodied two of the most cat-like tendencies in existence: grumpiness and apathy. All he wanted to do was sleep, skip Mondays, and eat lasagna, and all we wanted to do was watch him.

Mufasa, 'The Lion King'
OK, so he's technically not a housecat, but he is in the cat family. For a certain generation, Mufasa taught us the value of nobility and the pain of death. We're still mourning his loss.

The Cat in the Hat, 'Dr. Seuss The Cat in the Hat' 1971
How could this disastrously fun feline be anything but number one? Sure, he caused a lot of destruction and is probably Mom's nightmare, but this cool cat knows a good time and always cleans up after he's done.
