Greebo is a character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. He is a foul-tempered one-eyed British Blue tomcat whose human, Nanny Ogg, insists against all the evidence that he is a sweet, harmless kitten. In the course of the books, he has killed two vampires, eating at least one of them. ("The bat squirmed under his claw. It seemed to Greebo's small cat brain that it was trying to change its shape, and he wasn't having any of that from a mouse with wings on".) In Lords and Ladies, Greebo's overall attitude is best described in a reference to Schrödinger's cat: Terence David John Pratchett OBE (born April 28, 1948, in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, England[1]) is an English fantasy author, best known for his Discworld series. ...

In Witches Abroad he was transformed, for reasons that seemed to be a good idea at the time, into a human. He was confused by the differences between human and cat morphology and social relationships, but picked some aspects up quickly. In this incarnation, the character is reminiscent of Red Dwarf's Cat.

In human form, Greebo looks like a 'beautiful, brainless bully' who has raided a leather goods store for the discerning pirate, and appears ready to unbuckle any amount of swash, radiating an aura of raw sex that can be felt several rooms away, and of a Megawatt magnitude. He is typically covered in scars, has retractable nails (or more accurately, claws) and maintains a slitted left eye. The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit for measuring power corresponding to one million (106) watts. ...

The incident left him with an unstable phenotype, that is, a tendency to temporarily switch forms when completely cornered, which causes some excitement.

In a passing reference in "Witches Abroad" Nanny Ogg said that Greebo was a demon ("Just between you and me, he's a fiend from hell"), possibly indicating that Greebo is indeed demonic, partially due to Nanny's insistence otherwise that Greebo is a gentle kitten. In addition to his other qualities, he is pursuing a study in inbreeding with all of the other cats in Lancre that are related to him (which by dint of some effort is all of them as he is currently every male ancestor for at least 30 generation), which is account for by the "raw sex" aura mentioned above. He has also seriously surprised a she-wolf (also killed and eaten half of one before) and chased a female bear up a tree. Witches Abroad is a Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett, originally published in 1991. ... It has been suggested that inbreeding depression be merged into this article or section. ...

To date, Greebo is known to fear only three things: The Nac MacFeegle, the black cockrel Legba, who belongs to the voodoo 'witch', Mrs Googol, and 'You', a small white kitten owned by Granny Weatherwax. Their first encounter ended with You burying her claws in Greebo's face and his subsequent retreat. He now hides behind the pots and pans whenever she is in the same house as him. Esmerelda Esme Weatherwax (usually called Granny Weatherwax) is a character from Terry Pratchetts Discworld series. ...

In Terry Pratchett's Johnny Maxwell series, Mrs. Tachyon owns a cat named Guilty who has many qualities similar to Greebo. Johnny Maxwell is a fictional character in a series of three childrens books by Terry Pratchett. ...
