One of the earliest and most significant examples of a cat-themed digital token is CryptoKitties, launched in November 2017 by Dapper Labs on the Ethereum blockchain. CryptoKitties are virtual cats represented as NFTs, each with unique traits, and they popularized the concept of tokenized digital assets. The very first CryptoKitty, known as the "Genesis" CryptoKitty, was minted on November 23, 2017, and is considered the original tokenized cat in this ecosystem. It doesn’t have a traditional name like "Nedjem" or "Muezza" from historical contexts but is identified simply as the Genesis Kitty, Kitty #1. If you’re asking about a specific real-world cat that was tokenized (e.g., tied to an NFT or crypto token with its name), no clear historical record points to a single named cat as the "first." Projects like MoonCats, launched in August 2017 on Ethereum, predate CryptoKitties and are among the earliest on-chain generative art NFTs featuring cats, but they are abstract pixel art cats rather than real, named animals. The first MoonCat, for instance, isn’t tied to a specific cat’s name but is part of a collection of 25,344 unique digital cats. So, if we interpret "tokenized cat" as a digital asset on a blockchain, the Genesis CryptoKitty from CryptoKitties stands out as a landmark example, though it lacks a personal name. If you meant something different—like a real cat tokenized with a specific name—please clarify, and I’ll refine the answer!
