In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice in Wonderland, Dinah is Alice's real life cat as opposed to the Wonderland Chesire Cat. The Chesire Cat is therefore less real (e.g. further removed from us as readers) than Dinah making Dinah more realer and in the end more memorable. In an unpublished sequel (not Through the Looking Glass), however, the Chesire Cat manages to exit the dream, squeezing out of Alice's left ear and brutally murdering Dinah. It then managed to squeeze out of a sentence fragment (before he could complete it) into Carroll's study and gleefully defecated on the manuscript. Carroll, enraged, burned the book, slaughtered the cat and feasted on it later that night with some of his children-friends.
