Big the Cat

Big the cat is...well...a big cat. Once a citizen of the Mysterious Cat Country, Big moved to Knothole and presumably New Mobotropolis. He also helped Sonic the Hedgehog and the other Freedom Fighters during the "Chaos" catastrophe. His best friend in the whole world is his pet frog, Froggy. Only problem is, Froggy always keeps running away from his laid-back owner.

Rescuing For A Friend
Big the Cat was an ordinary cat who lived in the deep jungles of the Mysterious Cat Country with his buddy and pet frog, Froggy. However, while Big was asleep in his house one night, pieces of rock fell from the sky, causing Froggy to panic and jump towards a mysterious puddle of water. And as Big awoke, Froggy's thirst kicked in and he drank the puddle, not knowing that it was really part of Chaos, the God of Destruction! Chaos' powers then kicked in and Froggy grew a tail. But before Big could question what just happened, one of Dr. Eggman's newest robots, E-102 Gamma, showed up at Big's house. Big thought the stranger was a friend, but was corrected when Gamma grabbed Froggy. Big tried to save his lifelong buddy, but Gamma easily defeated him and escaped. However, Big wasn't going to take this sitting down, and so went off to save his friend. (StH: #80)

Big found his way to the Ancient Ruins and started searching around a lake on his rowboat. However, it then turned out that the Egg Carrier had been hidden in the lake, and so as it rose up, it brought Big with it. Big then started searching the ship for Froggy, and eventually found him...before he jumped inside of Chaos 6! Luckily, Big was able to get Froggy out of the monster and quickly escaped the ship with Sonic's plane, the Tornado. (Sonic Super Special #13)

Eventually, Big landed the plane...and got knocked unconscious for his troubles. When Big awoke, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles had arrived and Big introduced himself. But the four then noticed the Tornado was gone and Chaos must have taken it! Big and his new friends headed to Station Square, only to find it flooded and being destroyed by Perfect Chaos. Big then helped the Freedom Fighters battle the beast. (StH: #83, #84)

Big and everyone else who helped fight against Perfect Chaos were rewarded by the President of Station Square, but the ceremony was cut short when Silver Sonic II] attacked. Big then helped the Freedom Fighters in battling this foe as well. After the new mechanical Sonic was defeated, [[Sally Acorn asked Big if he wanted to come to Knothole with them, but he declined and he and Froggy went back to the Cat Country. (StH: #85)

Later Activities
Sometime during the one year jump, Big took up on Sally's offer abnd moved to Knothole. He even helped Sonic and others put on a play for some children, him playing the part of Dr. Eggman. (StH: #143)

Big was later invited to Bunnie Rabbot and Antoine's wedding. It is also assumed he was one of many captured by Eggman's Egg Fleet, and was also sent to New Mobotropolis. (StH: #174, #175, #176, #177)

Personality
Despite many people's thoughts, Big is quite intelligent, just laid back. He cares very much for his friend, Froggy, and will do whatever it takes to save him. Big will also lend out a helping hand where needed.
