Queen 

The Queen sits carefully composed on her modest throne, chin up and eyes bright. She is proud of her neatly-groomed coat and likes to show it off. Though she is a small house cat, inside she feels like a lioness, lounging in the shade of a full and fruiting tree.

Female cats that are "whole" (not spayed) are referred to as "Queens" by breeders.
