Footnote

Percy's cat. Footnote comes aboard The Spotted Custard along with Percy, becoming the ship's resident cat.
== Appearance ==
Footnote is a tuxedo cat, mostly black with white markings, as if dressed for the theater. He has white stomach markings up to his throat, white spats, long white whiskers, and a white tail tip.
== Trivia ==
* Gail has admitted that she based Footnote on her own cat, Lilliput, also a tuxedo. Although Lilliput is female, smaller, and doesn't have a white tail tip.
* Footnote helps seal negotiations with the Drifters in Imprudence, because cats are seen as the living soul of the ship.
