My neighbors had a cat named Michael Phelps. He pretty much kicked the ass of every cat in the 'hood, and killed a giant rat once a day, until the rat population ran out, at which point he turned to squirrels and small rabbits.

Our last cat Imogene was an evil but poorly organized meglomaniac who stored her blueprints and plans for world domination under the bed.
Currently, Pimm is a cautious but deviously curious manipulator who spends his time convincing his dim and loving partner in crime Gimlet to do naughty things that can't be pinned on Pimm himself. Gimlet used to travel with a circus as Gimletto, The Amazing Boneless Cat.

My cat Kanoko is an air quality and safety tester extraordinaire. Currently he's managing and implementing a project to test the resistance of polyester cord to methodical gnawing, so as to ensure that balls tied to sisal platforms only break after several days of gnawing and not merely after a few half-hearted chews.

Norma sure asks a lot of questions. Mostly about why she can't have a pony.
Pie has an extensive list of grievances.
I have a pretty elaborate story about one of my friend's cats. He is a 419 scammer in Africa (which is not the continent, but rather, a different dimension nicknamed after the continent) whose charm, lack of scruples, and advanced (CAUTION; FLASHING GIF)hypnosis techniques have made him very wealthy. He can afford a nice office, sports cars, and a fancy watch.

Our old roommate's cat couldn't be let outside, because if he ever got out there he'd start hanging out with the wrong-side-of-the-tracks raccoon gangs, and they'd teach him to talk mean and smoke cigarettes outside of the laundry room.

Huey: chirp, mmmrrow?
BF: Fuck off, you're not getting any.
Huey: *blink* *blliiiinnnnnk* chirp?
BF: I said piss off *resumes cooking*
Huey: *rubs on BF's legs, reaches up and pats BF gently on leg* MMRRROW? Squeak? Ah? *blink*

Huey: *collapses shamelessly and dramatically on floor from sheer hunger, turns upside down, bats at BF's shoes* CHIRP!?!?!

I can add to this, sharing a bit about some cats I used to live with:
Dominic (Maine Coon) is pretty sure that the former owners of this house have stashed a fortune in cash somewhere in the walls or under the floorboards. He's only sticking around until he finds it.
Sully's (Seal Point Himalayan) dissertation is not going as well as he'd planned.
Most of Brutus' (big friendly black cat) stories about palling around Manhattan with Toots Shor are exaggerations, if not out-and-out lies.
Fatty (calico) is planning on firing all of you in the morning.

I thought about why I don't have stories for my cats and I realised it's because I don't need to exactly, it's all there in their names.
Macrophage (big black and white at the front) is a biology demonstration. He lies around all day, inert (the naive state), until we initiate the dinner call (or chemokine). At which time he moves directly to the kitchen where the call originated from (chemotaxis), becomes activated, and rapidly engulfs all the cat food in front of him (phagocytosis). His main story is that he's a total pussy who wants nothing more than to be as fat as possible (and at 6.6 kg he's doing pretty well).
Meanwhile, his sister Juniper is the round, blue-grey berry used to make gin ("mother's ruin"). She's a murderess, getting antsy when forced to go too long between killings.

Mingus was a physicist specializing in string theory in a past life and constantly frets that he cannot hold a pencil to write down equations. Because of that, he now specializes in string.
Coltrane is Mingus' less-smart, more physically robust brother and was in a past life a luggage tester, which is why he is so prone to sit in suitcases.
Bootsy Collins (here he is in flight), our most recent addition, has a terrible lisp because his long fur is constantly getting stuck in his mouth when he tries to wash himself and is a professional blanket inspector.

Sven and Nikola, aka Spotty and Stripey, aka Kicky and Licky, aka Mr. Cat and Mr. Kitty, are brothers.
Sven thinks Josef Stalin got a bad rap. He's waiting for the revolution to begin anew so he can lead the way with an iron paw.
His little brother, Nikola, is fat and asthmatic, nerdy and gay, with a thing for bearded men. He likes ice cream, anime and would do amateur drag if he weren't so shy and self-conscious.
Sven really would rather not talk about his brother.

After five years in my care, I've only just learned Nosy Parker's alias, "Dr. Phineas Q. Nosenstein". He refuses to share information from his dark past, and the only clues we have to his previous identity are his toe sucking fetish and an unholy affinity for boxes.

Boo Boo, a former dishwasher repair cat who loved to read the Thesaurus and visited quote sites for fun, is attempting a comeback after my lapsed blog no longer affords him the celebrity and fandom (of about three readers) he previously enjoyed. After a brief foray into porn, Boo Boo started a band, "Boo Boo and the Swinging Fat Sacks" and they have been practicing under the front porch in between naps. Boo plays upright bass and the striped oval fleece kitty bed. Sillyhead, the neighbourhood feral cat, is supposed to play guitar but mostly flees - which really limits their ability to perform in front of an audience. Bender, our neighbour's cat, scarfs all the kitty snacks and wants to be the drummer, but his human keeps calling him home.

Boo Boo likes to front the band, he’s a big attention whore.
Silly likes to run away, thinks domestication is a bore.
Bender scarfs the kitty snacks and likes to hang out with the band...

Two of my cats are Mexican. I'm pretty sure of it. They won't confirm or deny. Their names are Chico and Taco.
I will say that ever since I got cats I'm more whimsical and make up songs and other weird shit like that. This is not a bad thing. Thank you cats.

Me too, with the songs mokeydraws. It's the perpetual straight face cats have. Do a silly dance? Cat stares with serious face. Sing a song? Cat stares with serious face. It's like they're challenging you to make them laugh. But they ain't GONNA.
Good times.

My stuffed hippo's name is Colby. He's kind of catlike, at least if you count "lies around all day" as catlike.

Wensleydale is the last scion of the Hapsburg Empire and is collecting a very extensive list of names for the upcoming revolution. Also: has never been loved.

Ozzie, who is called The Woz in daily life, finds this new moniker insulting as he was once the leader of a cult, was known as Reverend Mayhem (the Rev to his friends), and lived in an imposing lair called The Doom Fortress.

I do this with my cats. But they have a lot more cats than I do. A lot more.
