The CheshireCat first appears in the story in the kitchen with the Duchess, the Cook, and the Baby. It has an unusual grin, as well as the strange ability to fade into invisibility, sometimes one part at a time.
The Cheshire Cat is one of the few animals in Wonderland that apparently has some sympathy with Alice. He guides her on the next step of her journey (the Mad Tea Party) and is the subject of what may be Alice's Adventures in Wonderland's most quoted line:
"I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly; you make one quite giddy."
"All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
"Well I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice, "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life."
The Cat reappears and provokes an argument between the executioner and The King of Hearts about whether one can decapitate a bodiless character.

probably 'coz of all the cats i know, it is the weirdest. haha. how many disappearing cats do you know of?! plus, it's famous for its *smile* nyahaha. also, it's creepy/scary. i don't know.. i just remember i used to be just a bit afraid of that cat. its smile is both taunting and menacing at the same time. but it's also the reason why i love it in the first place, bwahahaha.
finally, it's *this* special cat that causes the king of hearts and the executioner to have that weird (seemingly pointless yet logical) debate. hahahaha.
hands down. i *love* the cheshire.
now you know why *you* are my cheshire..
