You can call me COTUS. I am the Cat of the United States. It’s a tough job that’s turning my fur white, but someone’s got to do it!

It appears there is to be a COTUS (Cat of the United States).
But what epithet should be added to mark out that it commands considerably more territory than the average cat?
