The Scrameustache is a [[Franco Belgian Comics|Belgian comic book]] by author Gos and his son Walt, published by Dupuis and later, by Glénat. It relates the adventures of the titular character, a [[Talking Animal|highly intelligent, genetically engineered animal]] with the features of both a cat and a monkey.
