''Seymour the Fractal Cat'' was a science fiction comedy series first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1996. Its SupportingProtagonist is Jeremy, a computer programmer whose new [[FunWithAcronyms Chaos Analysis Transformer]] programme falls into the hands of a sentient network of computers seeking to overthrow humanity. Their first act is to enhance the brain of Jeremy's cat, Seymour, granting him average-human-level intelligence and the power of speech.
