But the cat came back the very next day.
The cat came back. They thought it was a goner,
But the cat came back; it just wouldn't stay away.
The song also inspired an animated cartoon short.

Cats in science
Schrödinger's cat, hapless victim and lucky survivor of a thought experiment by Erwin Schrödinger illustrating the incompleteness of the theory of quantum mechanics (although Schrödinger himself is historical, the cat is the protagonist in a thought experiment and thus fictional). Surrounding this thought experiment, John Gribbin authored two books, In Search of Schrödinger's Cat and Schrödinger's Kittens.
Edwin Hubble had a cat named Nicolaus Copernicus.
