Perry's Index to the Aesopica

Perry reserves 435 for a joke about a cat disgusied as a monk, taken from Nikephoras Gregoras, Hist. Byz. vii 1.


You can find a compilation of Perry's index to the Aesopica in the gigantic appendix to his edition of Babrius and Phaedrus for the Loeb Classical Library (Harvard University Press: Cambridge, 1965). This book is an absolute must for anyone interested in the Aesopic fable tradition. Invaluable.
