The cat is as mysterious as it appears, rarely speaking straightforward. To even get straight anwser out of him is a treat. He cares deeply about the well being of Alice, and in turn the well being of Wonderland. While he never seems to do anything directly, he is always there to give her a hand.

«Haste makes waste, so I rarely hurry. But if a ferret were about to dart up my dress, I'd run.»

Alice first encounters him at the Duchess's house in her kitchen, and then later outside on the branches of a tree, where he appears and disappears at will, engaging Alice in amusing but sometimes vexing conversation. He sometimes raises philosophical points that annoy or baffle Alice. He does, however, appear to cheer her up when he turns up suddenly at the Queen of Hearts' croquet field, and when sentenced to death baffles everyone by having made his head appear without its body, sparking a massive argument between the executioner and the King and Queen of Hearts about whether something that does not have a body can indeed be beheaded.

Shortly after her second adventure, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice's house is burned down by an accidental fire, killing her family, and leaving her as the only survivor. As time progresses Alice loses touch with reality. She is institutionalized in Rutledge Asylum, where she is observed and treated by Dr. Heironymous Wilson. Alice's only possession in Rutledge is a stuffed rabbit. Ten years after Alice was committed to Rutledge, she finds herself sucked back into a Wonderland that has been twisted by her own broken mind. The White Rabbit summons Alice to aid a radically altered Wonderland, which became a twisted version of itself as it came under the horrible rule of the Queen of Hearts. The Cheshire Cat serves as Alice's companion throughout the events, frequently appearing to guide her with cryptic comments.

The Cheshire Cat's equivalent in Rutledge Asylum is a stray cat that Alice's doctor keeps finding sitting in Alice's room whilst she is catatonic

«Is our situation not dismal? Wonderland is so discombobulated that lady bugs have turned belligerent and enlisted in the queen's army!»

You've gone quite mangy, cat. But your grin's a comfort.

«When the remarkable becomes bizarre, reason turns rancid.»
