    Black Pete, Pegleg Pete or just Pete is an anthropomorphic cat and recurring villain and antagonist in the Disney cartoons and comics.

    Interestingly Pete was created several years before Mickey Mouse. He first appeared in 1925 "Alice Solves The Puzzle" as 'Bootleg Pete" he was originally a bear who worked as bootlegger (the cartoon was made during Prohibition) and tried to steal a crossword puzzle from the title character.
