Best Answer

The cat in Alice in Wonderland isn't named 'cheese', it's named 'the Cheshire Cat'.

However, Cheshire is a type of cheese (as well as being a place name) and it's possible that the Cheshire Cat was named after Cheshire cheeses.

Tim Burton's 2010 movie has named him 'Chessur'. This is probably a pun on the word 'Chess' which is a prominent theme in the movie and Lewis Carroll's second Alice book Through the Looking Glass.
