Hello everybody,
Je vous propose un nouveau what about..un peu moins scientifique que celui de Monsieur notre Brigadier Chef Post-Scriptum

6 / In the comic strip, Bloomy County, what cat has been a member of the rock group Deathtongue, a surrogate body for Donald Trump and a resident of the Betty Ford Clinic ?
7 / What's the name of the cat brought back to life in Stephen King's Pet Sematary ?
8 / Who is the evil tiger in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book ?
9 / What book of cat poetry was the inspiration for Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical, Cats ?
10 / The first Siamese cat brought in the United States was a gift to which president ?
11 / In Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland, what famous feline has the power to appear and disappear at will ?
12 / In the Disney version of Pinocchio, Gepetto owns a black and white kitten. What's the kitten's name ?
13 / Which one of these historical figures never owned a cat ?
A - Adolf Hitler

Good evening Kayrol, Bridg and everybody,

5. In Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland, Alice has her own pet kitten. What's the kitten's name ?

Well, I remember Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderful very well. The kitten's name was Dinah.

8. Who is the evil tiger in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book ?

Well, I believe the menacing tiger in The Jungle Book is Shere Khan.

See you. Friendship.

Hello, kayrol.

I think that in the Disney version of Pinocchio, Gepetto's kitten is called 'Figaro'.

Hello, an other answer:

Il s'inspire d'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, un livre pour enfants écrit par le poète et dramaturge anglo-saxon T. S. Eliot.
Désolé d'écrire en français, mais je suis hyperdébutant !!!
