Catwoman's Cats

Three identical gray cats that live with Catwoman, serving as her arms in the dorm (for example, we see one opening the window blinds at her command; the saying goes that they can do anything short of making coffee), and eyes and ears around the House. When not abroad collecting the information or running errands, they sit on Catwoman's shoulders.

IRL: Mariam's mother-in-law owned two black cats (brothers) that liked to climb on her shoulders when she cooked. They lived to be 16 and 18 years old.

Allusions: The theme of animals serving as informants and carrying out the will of gods is common through mythology; most famously, perhaps, the Norse god Odin, he of one eye, had two ravens, Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory) who flew all over the world to bring their master the news, while wolves Geri and Freki (Greedy and Hungry) do his bidding in battle.
