Time to rid my house of the mouse!
~ The Cat while hunting Napoleon and later, Pengi.
Must destroy the yellow mouse and little flying mouse!
~ The Cat pursuing Napoleon and Birdo.
Ah, not a mouse? A dog. Dog must die!
~ The Cat's last words, after finally realizing that Napoleon is not a mouse.

The Cat, also known as the "Black Cat", is the main antagonist of the 1995 Australian animal film Napoleon.

She is a domestic cat who has become bloodthirsty and psychopathic from living in the wilderness for a period of time, and believes every living creature around her to be a "mouse", hunting them down in attempt to viciously kill them. She is also Napoleon's arch-nemesis.

She was voiced by Carole Skinner in the original Australian version, and Debra Mooney in the American dub.

Biography[]

Not much is know about the Cat, though it is implied that she got lost from her original home and as a result, went insane and began believing every animal that invaded her "house" was a mouse.

When the Cat first meets Napoleon, she sees him as a mouse, disguised as a dog, and chases him in an attempt to eat him, eventually cornering him on a tree branch hanging above a pond. Napoleon tries to reason with her, but she refuses to listen to him and continues to attack, but a tawny frogmouth who warned Napoleon about her earlier swoops down and knocks her into the water. She then vows to kill Napoleon as he escapes.

Later on his journey, Napoleon and a galah named Birdo (who reluctantly agreed to help him learn to live in the wild) meet a quokka who survived an attack from the Cat but lost an ear from her.

The Cat finds Napoleon again, and tries to attack Birdo, but they both escape. She also comes upon Birdo's lost flock. Just as she is ready to pounce, Napoleon frightens them away, and then she vows to make the puppy suffer before killing him.

In the climax, Napoleon attempts to return home in the basket in which he landed after befriending a delusional little penguin named Pengi, who calls himself "Conan", but the Cat reappears and attempts to attack Pengi. Napoleon bravely lures her away from Pengi and tries to get rid of her with the tide, which only makes her wet. He then starts a small rock slide which slows her down and the debris pushes her toward a ledge where she presumably falls. Napoleon goes to check on Pengi when she suddenly appears behind him and shoves him off, but only a few feet.

She jumps down as well and is furiously anxious to attack. Napoleon tries to explain that life in the wild has triggered her insanity, but again, she ignores him, claiming she is at home, and begins attacking him. Then Pengi, at the bottom of the cliff, begins to taunt her which distracts her, long enough for Napoleon to push her over the edge, but she survives and lands in the basket, hopelessly sailing away.

At the very end of the film, the cat has managed to make it to Sydney, where as she climbs up the fence of where Napoleon lives, she finally realizes that he isn't a mouse but a dog, though she is still determined to hunt him down. Her fate afterwards is unknown.

Trivia[]

  • She is most likely a Bombay Cat, due to her pure black coat.
