Thubanian leader

The Thubanian leader is the leader of the cats from Thuban 9. He uses a puppet, Professor Morris Katz, to interact with the human upper class. This took the role of Leela's pet, Nibbler, for a few days during the Thubanian invasion. His collar started to glow when his race was near to stealing the Earthican magnetic field, as did his companions'.

After Amy presented her thesis at Mars University in 3010, the Thubanian leader followed her to the Planet Express headquarters. He later summoned his friends, who followed him as well. He began infecting Leela with cutie pie demonstrations, and soon every member of the company was under the control of those darn cats.

The Thubanians convinced the crew to build something sinister, actually the machine from Amy's thesis. After "sending" the electric current generated by the machine to Thuban 9, they left New New York. However, as the employees managed to "bring it back", their planet is now half frozen, half scorched. Once back in Egypt, the Thubanian leader had found a safe place to hide from his homeworld's unbearable living conditions.
