Cleopatra: … Do you think that the black cat can have been my great-great-great grandmother?
Caesar: (staring at her) Your great-great-great grandmother! Well, why not? Nothing would surprise me on this night of nights.
Cleopatra: I think it must have been. My great-grandmother’s great-grandmother was a black kitten of the sacred white cat; and the river Nile made her his seventh wife. That is why my hair is so wavy.
— from George Bernard Shaw, Anthony and Cleopatra
Which may be where Mehitabel the Cat got her claim:
mehitabel the cat claims that
she has a human soul
also and has transmigrated
from body to body and it
may be so boss you
remember i told you she accused
herself of being cleopatra once …— Don Marquis, from archy and mehitabel
