Cat Grant

"*You made an important company decision without my approval. That sounds like betrayal to me. I'm not one for second chances but because you are at least the smallest bit bearable and the fact that the assistant pool is so small right now, listen to my words. Try anything like that again, and I will eat your reputation for breakfast you incompetent little imp.*"
—Cat to Siobhan Smythe.[src]

## Biography

### Early Life

Catherine Jane Grant was born on January 24, 1979 within the bustling city of Metropolis to extremely poverty-stricken parents, mainly being raised within the city's crime-ridden southside, nicknamed the "Suicide Slum". Growing up, Cat's family was extremely poor and barely managed to scrape by within their small neighbourhood. In order to help out her parents, she began working several jobs at once, starting when she was 14 years old.

Being forced to grow up so fast, Cat eventually became depressed and began sleeping with various men as a coping mechanism. Eventually, this led to her becoming pregnant with her first child at 15 years old and on September 13, 1995, Cat gave birth to a daughter that she would promptly put up for adoption, but who would also go on to grow up in foster care be given the name of Leslie Willis.

## Personality

Cat is a snarky, ruthless, unapologetic, unsympathetic and often considered rude individual. These traits have earned her many enemies throughout the field of journalism including her main rival and former boss, Perry White. She also utilises these traits within her own business, making her be seen as a cut throat businesswoman who was able to bring such an originally small business off the ground.

Despite all these negative qualities, Cat does have a soft side she only shows her closest friends in order to retain a cold and strong demeanour. Despite her long-running rivalry with former co-worker, Lois Lane, Cat still holds a soft spot for her and even helped her during her investigation into Cadmus Labs.
