Summary
Big the Cat (ビッグ・ザ・キャット Biggu za Kyatto) is a large purple cat who lives in Mystic Ruins and spends most of his time fishing with his pet frog/best friend, Froggy. This is what caused him to meet the likes of Sonic, Tails and the rest of the cast.[2]
He often has a tendency to appear in places at random regardless of how minuscule the possibility, be it within the Arabian Nights[3] to within Cyper Space[4] or White Space[5]. While often perceived as dull, he has a heart equal to his size with great power to match.
