Steaky the Super-Cat was a fictional comic book character owned by DC Comics. He was the pet of the orphan Linda Lee, who was really Supergirl.
Streaky was an orange cat with a yellow streak along its side. Once, when the Silver Age Supergirl was trying to find a cure for Kryptonite, she created a new kind of material she named "X-Kryptonite". A marble of X-Kryptonite got wrapped up in a ball of yarn in the Midvale Orphanage basement. Whenever Streaky would play with the yarn, he would temporarily gain Kryptonian powers.
Steaky was a member in good standing with the Legion of Super-Pets, the so-called "animal branch" of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Streaky has only appeared in the Silver Age of Comics, and doesn't exist in the current DC Comics Superman continuity.
Streaky appears regularly as a character in the Krypto the Superdog (2005) animated series.
