Minnie Mouse is a famous cartoon character. She is well-known as Mickey Mouse's girlfriend. Both Minnie and Mickey were created by the famous Walt Disney. Minnie's official birthday is November 18, 1928. However, she first appeared in a cartoon called "Plane Crazy" that same year. Sometimes, she is also known by fun names like Princess Minnie or Maestro Minnie. Minnie loves eating cheese, chocolate, and cake. She also really enjoys listening to jazz music.

Minnie Mouse's Family

Minnie Mouse comes from a family of farmers. Her father's name is Marcus Mouse. This name first appeared in a comic strip story in 1930. Minnie's mother is named Margie Mouse.

Minnie also has a sister named Mandie Mouse. Mandie has twin daughters, Millie and Melody, who are Minnie's nieces. These twins are not seen very often anymore. Minnie's grandfather, Marshal Mouse, was also a farmer. He appeared in the same comic strip as her father.

Minnie's Pets

Minnie Mouse has two special pets: a dog and a cat. Her dog is named Fifi. Fifi has five puppies with Mickey's dog, Pluto. Pluto was actually Mickey's first dog, and he was called Rover back then.

Minnie's cat is named Figaro. This is the same cat you might remember from the Disney movie Pinocchio. Recently, Minnie has also adopted two new pets. She now has a lizard named Lolly and a snake named Pop. She became very interested in reptiles, which led her to adopt them.

Minnie and Mickey's Relationship

In 1933, Walt Disney gave an interview where he talked about Mickey and Minnie. He said that in their private lives, Mickey and Minnie are actually married. He mentioned that many people often asked him about their relationship status. So, depending on the movie or cartoon, Minnie and Mickey might be shown as married or just as a couple. But they are always together!

Minnie's Friends

Minnie has some very close friends. Her best friend is Daisy Duck, who is Donald Duck’s girlfriend. Minnie also spends a lot of time with Clarabelle Cow. Minnie and Daisy often go shopping together. Their strong friendship is mostly shown in newer cartoons, as they didn't interact much in the older ones.

Minnie has another friend named Honor the Hippo. They share secrets by hiding them in bits of moss on the pavement. Minnie's friend Carly the Cat has long hair with a middle part.
