"I'm a girl. And your boss, and powerful, and rich and hot and smart."
—Cat to Kara Danvers[src]


Cat Grant is the CEO of CatCo Worldwide Media.

Biography

Cat started off as the assistant of Perry White, working hard enough until she had the chance to write an article for the gossip column.[1]

Branding Supergirl

Cat was almost forced to downsize the Tribune, but due to the newly found mysterious heroine who had saved Flight 237, she was able to save it by using her to create new headlines, with Grant ordering her employees to get her exclusive content for the Tribune. She later dubbed the heroine Supergirl, much to the annoyance of her personal assistant, Kara Danvers.[2]A week later, Cat came into work after having breakfast with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. After being handed her latte by Kara, she called a content meeting, during which she brought up to the attendees Supergirl's most recent heroic failure. Cat continued by emphasizing that it had been the lead story on the Daily Planet 's homepage, their fifth in as many days. In an attempt to save Supergirl from self-immolation, Cat told her employees that they would take control of Supergirl's narrative and scoop the Daily Planet, telling them that she wanted an interview with Supergirl. Cat questioned whether James Olsen could approach the situation to Superman the next time they met, though James was reluctant to do so. She concluded the meeting by telling her employees that she wanted the interview by the end of the week, after which she expressed to Kara to get her head out of the clouds and back behind the desk where it belonged. The next day when questioned by Kara on why Cat criticized Supergirl when she was in fact trying to save the city, Cat explained to Kara that Supergirl needed to start with smaller targets and work her way up, as she was still relatively new to being a superhero. The following day she gave James the dilemma of getting her the interview with Supergirl within the following 24 hours, or being fired and return to his old position as an art director in Metropolis. She later called him while on her way home from work to tell him that even though she gave him 24 hours, if he hadn't gotten the interview, she wanted to set up meetings with new art directors to replace him. However, James told her that the interview had already begun, telling her to look outside of her car window. Doing so, she realized that her car was being carried in air by Supergirl. After the car was put down (on the roof of the CatCo building) ,Cat got out, and was told by Supergirl that James Olsen had told Supergirl that Cat had wanted to talk with her.[1]
