Snowball (The Simpsons)

Snowball (a fictional character in the television series The Simpsons) was the Simpsons' pet cat, replaced by Snowball II after her death. Snowball was, according to Lisa in a poem, run over by a Chrysler. At a later point it emerged that Snowball was run over by Clovis Quimby, drunkard brother of mayor Quimby (in a parody of what could be any of the Kennedy brothers or even Billy Carter). Snowball was so-named due to her white color. Snowball has been seen in heaven by characters who have undergone near-death experiences.

Meditations on Turning Eight

by Lisa Simpson

I had a cat named Snowball

She died! She died!

Mom said she was sleeping

She lied! She lied!

Why oh why is my cat dead?

Couldn't that Chrysler hit me instead?
