Cat Grant

## Background

### 1973 - 1995: Cat Grant

Cat Grant was born in Metropolis as the only daughter of socialite Lea Grant. Her father's identity was unknown, causing quite the gossip in all the newspapers & blogs. Despite her mom's popularity & wealth, Cat had a tough childhood as her mother always pushed her to excel but was never satisfied with the results. As Cat once stated, she could have moved the Earth with her own bare hands & her mother would still not be satisfied. As a result, the two became estranged from one another & Cat left Metropolis for college.

Cat studied journalism at National City University. She became a residential advisor to pay for her rent & prevent asking her mother for a hand out. In college, she met a boy named Blake Foster. He swept her off her feet & maybe it was her father's absence or her mother's lack of love but Cat married him right after college.

### 1995 - 2000: Cat Morgan

After graduating, the two moved back to Metropolis & Cat gave birth to a son Adam. Using her mom's connections, she got a job as the personal assistant of Perry White at the Daily Planet. Determined to climb the ranks & make a name for herself as a journalist, Cat worked hard enough until she had the chance to write an article for the gossip column. Perry was extremely impressed & gave her a permanent gossip column. This led to a rivalry with Lois Lane, Perry's lead journalist.

Eventually, Cat & Blake got divorced, leading to a battle over sole custody of their son. Cat considered dropping the suit but instead settled on joint custody.

In her early days as a gossip columnist, Cat was assigned to profile a rising actor married to a celebrity. Everyone she interviewed spoke highly of the man except his wife's makeup artist, who told Cat about the bruises she covered up each morning. Ultimately, Cat caved into PR pressure & omitted this detail from her piece. Three months later, the actor shot & killed his wife. Cat was haunted by the incident ever since, which shaped her notion of honest reporting, both as a journalist & person.

### 2000 - Present: Cat Grant

Shortly after, Cat met the successful Frederick Jones Sr. He was a recent widow & she was longtime divorcee, leading to the two quickly hitting it off. They got married not long after, with their sons becoming best friends. Her husband saw a lot of potential in her & decided to invest in her dreams, allowing her to start her own business.

The media conglomerate known as CatCo Worldwide Media became everything Cat ever wanted. She was in charge & did what she wanted to do. Though her occupational dreams came true, her loving marriage began to warp more into a professional business partnership. While the two still had love for each other, there was no romantic feelings involved so they divorced after six years of marriage.

Cat then moved herself & her business headquarters across the country to National City. Not long after, she got married (and divorced) again & gave birth to another son. She also wrote the best selling biography *Nine Lives and Counting*, bring more revenue to her business. Cat is frequently acknowledged as "The Queen of all Media" due to the successful career she made in the media industry.
