In the Buttons and Mindy short "Cat on a Hot Steel Beam", the cat that Mindy follows throughout the cartoon is Pussyfoot.

Pussyfoot has appeared in some Warner Bros. All head and eyes, she is black with a white face and belly and a white tip on her fluffy tail. Chuck Jones, the creator, has discussed the efforts to maximize the kitten's sheer adorableness. The characters seem to be named as an allusion to Mark Antony and Cleopatra, who were lovers detailed in Plutarch's Parallel Lives. Pussyfoot/Cleo, in contrast, is a petite and extremely cute, blue-eyed black-and-white tuxedo cat to whom Marc Antony is utterly devoted with motherly passion. He bears a close resemblance to Hector the Bulldog, but with thinner back legs and minus the outer fangs. Marc Antony is a burly bulldog that is usually brown with a tan belly and black ears, though his coloration varies in some shorts. They also appear in one Claude Cat cartoon, Feline Frame-Up (1954). Three cartoons focus on the dog and kitten pair: Feed the Kitty (1952), Kiss Me Cat (1953) and Cat Feud (1958). Marc Antony and Pussyfoot are animated characters in four Warner Bros.
