Aristocats is an animated movie released in 1970 and one of its characters was a trumpet laying cat. It was created for and based on Louis Armstrong and was originally named Satchmo Cat. The cat had a gap in between his front teeth like Arnstrong had and the way he played his instrument was modeled after the musician.

Unfortunately, Armstrong couldn’t do the job because of his health and he was replaced with the musician Scatman Crothers. That is why we now know the jazz band leader as Scat Cat.
