History Main / CuteKitten

** The fourth ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' movie contains a scene where [[spoiler Rei is fascinated by a mother cat with kittens in the Fourth Impact survivors' camp]].

** There are several kitties in the series, many of them are sweet and loyal to the trainers, though getting into the evolutions may take too long for some. Meowth, Glameow, Purrloin, Espurr and especially Skitty are the proper kitten Mons.

* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'': [[PlayerCharacter Sissel]] turns out [[spoiler:to have been a stray kitten during the fateful day ten years before the game's present in Temsik Park. During the prime timeline, he grew up to be a CoolCat as the BigBad's quite literal MoralityPet, with Yomiel even naming him after his fiance who killed herself to be TogetherInDeath with him.. And during the altered timeline created during the game's climax, he stayed a kitten as Temsik Meteorite fragment was now lodged in his body instead of Yomiel's body.]]

* Subverted by Umbridge in ''Literature/HarryPotter''. Just because she likes (moving!) pics of kittens and decorates her office with them in ''Literature/OrderOfThePhoenix'', [[SugaryMalice this doesn't mean she's one of the good ones]].
* In ''[[Literature/GarrettPI Whispering Nickel Idols]]'', Garrett acquires a bucketful of kittens whose very presence seems to radiate feelings of happiness, contentment, and party-time good cheer. It turns out that they're [[spoiler: disguised lesser avatars of a goddess of merriment and the night]].

* Kitten-like proportions and demeanor contribute a large part to the appeal of Toothless the Night Fury in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''.

** In his spin-off film ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots'', a flashback shows Puss when he was an actual kitten.

* ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'' got a short film sequel, ''Mei and the Kittenbus'', that plays exclusively in the Studio Ghibli museum. And if anything on earth is cuter than a Catbus, it's a Kittenbus.

* You really can't blame the MisaimedFandom of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' for thinking Tai Lung is awesome -- after all, he's incredibly badass and [[EvilIsCool cool]] and [[UnintentionallySympathetic oddly sympathetic]] -- but the real clincher comes when we see Shifu's flashbacks to raising him from a kitten. [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter A rambunctious, big-eyed, fluffy-tailed, eager-to-please, kung-fu-lovin' kitten]]. The [[WordOfGod creators themselves]] admitted that they may have gone a bit too far in trying to avoid a one-note villain.

*** Goes even further in the spin-offs, in the Orphanage, the directors and other kids were terrified of her because she was so strong despite all she wanted to do was play and have friends. And it got to the point where every time she asked an innocent question like "Why is the sky blue?" or "Why is soup hot?", the directors would openly ridicule her for "being stupid", alienating herself further from others.

* As one could expect from a game named ''VideoGame/CatQuest'', almost its ''entire cast'' consists in Cute Kittens.

** The main character has a cat, and he can win more kitties at the fair (as well as a supply of food!). [[spoiler:Later on, we learn Magus used to have a cat named Alfador...and if you have Magus in your active party and go where the cat is, he'll follow his owner around the area!]]

* ''VideoGame/MegaManV'' for UsefulNotes/GameBoy introduced players to Tango, a cute, green robotic cat that meowed endearingly when summoned--and then [[BadassAdorable sprouted spikes and rolled menacingly into enemies]]! ''VideoGame/MushroomKingdomFusion'' brought him back as one of Roll's weapons.

* [[TokenMiniMoe Laury Callwell]] ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' gets a few scenes where she finds three cute kittens abandoned, adopts them, and later lose them, leading to the protagonist helping her to search for them. The latter scene also draw to this trope the tough as nails [[OreOnna Gene Petromolla]] and [[spoiler:[[PetRat Sam Burston]]]], revealing them as adorable {{Kindhearted Cat Lover}}s.

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Something}} Something Else]]'', Cat Beach has Luigi collecting 75 kittens for a cat before he allows Luigi to move onto the next level. The cat even does a cute smile at Luigi when Luigi completes this task.

* The resident {{Kindhearted Cat Lover}}s of ''[[VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial Tokimeki Memorial 2]]'', [[BornUnlucky Miyuki Kotobuki]] and [[BrokenBird Kaori Yae]], have positively adorable scenes revolving around cats: you can see in Childhood Mode a young Miyuki with her kitten Mii-chan in the front pocket of her dungarees, playing with her; and Kaori has a post-[[HesBack She's Back]] scene where she finds and happily plays with a kitten. In addition, Kaori has a beautiful ImageSong named "Tsukiyo no Koneko" ("Moonlight Kitten").

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041011 Krosp]] isn't cute exactly, but he's very good for Agatha.

* Gus, in ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}''. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20121229114521/http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/408 Jodie is reduced to nigh incomprehensibility in the face of his sheer adorableness]].

** Sylvester himself actually becomes this in ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes''.

* ''WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011'': Young {{Catfolk}} Wilykat and Kit are cute {{Cheerful Child}}ren, but also experienced [[TheArtfulDodger Artful Dodgers]] who very [[DeliberatelyCuteChild deliberately]] [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope when searching for [[TheCon marks]] to pickpocket. When they try to convince TheHero Lion-O to let them [[TagAlongKid tag along]] with his team of Thundercats, they CatSmile, FauxPaw and employ kittenish mewling to play on their sympathies.

----

* In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'', there are cats hiding in some areas. Upon picking a cat up, it will go back to the village. Normally you can't do anything with them (aside from [[VideogameCrueltyPotential hitting them to make them freak out]]), but if you have a particular glyph, you can transform into a CatGirl and talk to them to get some hints. Also, the cats are all [[ThemeNaming named after various ingredients]] (like Soybean, Flour and Tofu), which makes them all the more cuter. Holding the stylus on the screen while one of the cats is present will cause a toy mouse to appear, allowing you to tease the cats with it and make them jump after it.

* Kitten Helpers, Workers, Engineers, and Overseers are all upgrades you can purchase in ''VideoGame/CookieClicker''. Their effectiveness increases as you accumulate more milk[[note]]Itself earned by unlocking achievements[[/note]]. Notable for being among the few things you can do that doesn't [[BlackComedy make the world a significantly worse place]].

** Subverted in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' "The Stone Prisoner" DLC. Kitties aren't nearly as cute [[spoiler: when possessed by demons]].
** Played straight in ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]''. You can give Anders a cute little kitten that he will immediately gush over, naming it "Ser Pounce-a-lot". Anders' love of cats has a tragically hilarious backstory: [[spoiler: the only fond memories he had of his time in the Circle Tower were the times he played with a cat that lived in the Tower named Mr. Wiggums. Sadly, Mr. Wiggums somehow became possessed by a Rage Demon and had to be put down -- but not before Mr. Wiggums ''killed three Templars by himself'']]. Also, sadly Anders had to give up Ser Pounce-A-Lot after he nearly gotten him killed during an expedition to the Deep Roads (though he still has a deep love for cats).

* Dwarves in ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' are susceptible to this trope, often adopting the fort's ludicrous supply of cats. This can be very bad for your framerate. The main developer, Toady One, has his own feline companion, [[http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Scamps Scamps]], and the update log often includes lines such as "Scamps fell asleep on my shoulder like a very tired parrot today." Awwwwwwww...

* Cats are a frequent appearance in the ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy'' series, owing to its creator, Matt Roszak, [[AuthorAppeal being a big fan of them]]:
** A limbless cat named [=NoLegs=] appears in every installment - first appearing as ''[[VideoGame/BrawlRoyale Brawl Royale's]]'' first opponent, then appearing atop ''[[VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy1 Epic Battle Fantasy 1's]]'' first boss, [[KingMook King Slime]]. All subsequent installments have him as an ally, with him being a playable character in ''VideoGame/BulletHeaven'', ''VideoGame/BulletHeaven2'' and ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5''.

** [[WebAnimation/NCHProductions NCHProductions']] mascot, a pale yellow cat named Meow Meow, also cameos in the series - first appearing as one of Natalie's [[SummonMagic Summons]] in [=EBF2=], as a sidequest-giving NPC and a skill in [=EBF3=], and as the Meow Meow Badge in [=EBF5=].

* In ''VideoGame/ExoptableMoney'', the player can buy a cat that he is she can send out to collect money, with visible hearts pouring out of the kitten each time it comes back. [[spoiler:Don't get too attached to it, as Madame Sinclair takes notice and skins it so you can make more money off its fur.]]

* In ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'', [[PlayerCharacter Sissel]] turns out [[spoiler:to have been a stray kitten during the fateful day ten years before the game's present in Temsik Park. During the prime timeline, he grew up to be a CoolCat as the BigBad's quite literal MoralityPet, with Yomiel even naming him after his fiance who killed herself to be TogetherInDeath with him.. And during the altered timeline created during the game's climax, he stayed a kitten as Temsik Meteorite fragment was now lodged in his body instead of Yomiel's body.]]

* During one ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' quest, [[RelaxOVision certain gruesome scenes (such as a brain transplant) are censored with animations of kittens performing adorable actions such as playing with yarn or wearing pirate outfits]].

* [[CatGirl Chen]] from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' is sometimes depicted in fanart as having cat subordinates. And her animal form, as part of her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekomata nekomata]] shtick, is a two-tailed cat. She canonically ''tries'' to have cat subordinates. They don't listen to her and only hang around because she feeds them.

* Subverted with ''Sukeban Shachou Rena'' for Wii, which, despite being based around a premise of cat love, ended up being the [[http://www.destructoid.com/insane-cat-game-becomes-worst-selling-wii-title-ever-153921.phtml worst-selling Wii game]] at 100 copies sold.
* The UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS ''VideoGame/{{Nintendogs}}'' games are named "Nintendogs + Cats". They add kittens to the roster, though the main focus still goes to the puppies. The kittens aren't terribly active, can't learn tricks, and are hard to gain money from but at least they're cute.
* The entire premise of ''VideoGame/PurrPals'', a ''Nintendogs'' clone for the DS and Wii.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** There are several kitties in the series, many of them are sweet and loyal to the trainers, though getting into the evolutions may take too long for some. Meowth, Glameow, Purrloin, Espurr and especially Skitty are the proper kitten Mons.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' introduces a cat named Litten as the fire starter. Its fur is oily and highly flammable so it can attack with flaming hairballs.
** The ninth generation starter is [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIXFamilies Sprigatito]], a Grass-type kitten. Its ''Violet'' Pokedex entry states that it has a sweet scent that mesmerizes those around it. The scent grows stronger when its under the sun.
* The resident {{Kindhearted Cat Lover}}s of ''[[VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial Tokimeki Memorial 2]]'', [[BornUnlucky Miyuki Kotobuki]] and [[BrokenBird Kaori Yae]], have positively adorable scenes revolving around cats: you can see in Childhood Mode a young Miyuki with her kitten Mii-chan in the front pocket of her dungarees, playing with her; and Kaori has a post-[[HesBack She's Back]] scene where she finds and happily plays with a kitten. In addition, Kaori has a beautiful ImageSong named "Tsukiyo no Koneko" ("Moonlight Kitten").
* [[TokenMiniMoe Laury Callwell]] ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' gets a few scenes where she finds three cute kittens abandoned, adopts them, and later lose them, leading to the protagonist helping her to search for them. The latter scene also draw to this trope the tough as nails [[OreOnna Gene Petromolla]] and [[spoiler: [[PetRat Sam Burston]]]], revealing them as adorable {{Kindhearted Cat Lover}}s.
* While Kintaro from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' would normally be classified as PantheraAwesome, if you manage to pull off a Babality on him in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', you wind up turning him into a cute kitten version of himself, complete with kittenish mewling and purring and him drinking from a saucer of milk.
* The musk cats from the ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' series, anyone? They're cute kittens that talk! In the first game, one is even a playable character!
* In ''VideoGame/ShadowOfDestiny'', doing an extra side quest can result in the library being filled with cute cats. [[spoiler:You just go back into the past and give the little girl there a kitten. Back to the future, and bam. The place is filled with its descendants.]]
* A number of heart areas in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' have kittens about, notably at the Snow Leopard shrine in the norn starting area. You can progress these areas by killing enemies, helping the priests... or playing with the kittens.
* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' has kittens made of blocks and they are ''still'' adorable. They are also one of the game's only defenses against the kamikaze [[DemonicSpiders creepers]] which won't go within 16 metres of one.
* The ''VideoGame/FreeSpace2'' GameMod ''VideoGame/BluePlanet'' has a bit where the "Meditation Widget" in Noemi's computer displays an adorable animated kitten picture, after [[WhamEpisode the mission where the GTVA attacks]] [[spoiler:Earth]].

* The ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' series has a pair of cute twin Siamese cats named Cait Sith.
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Parodius}} Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius]]'' has Mike and Ran, flying cats that shoot balls of yarn. Mike's "force field" power is hiding under various furniture, and Ran's shield is a paper bag.
* In ''VisualNovel/TrueLoveJunaiMonogatari'', under certain circumstances the PlayerCharacter might find one during a rainy day. if he does, he can keep it hidden in his apartment or not. [[spoiler: She's actually a CatGirl... sort-of.]]
* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Something}} Something Else]]'', Cat Beach has Luigi collecting 75 kittens for a cat before he allows Luigi to move onto the next level. The cat even does a cute smile at Luigi when Luigi completes this task.
* ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' has the Rent-A-Cat Coupon level-up gift, which allows the Mii possessing it to play with a kitten, whether by themselves or with their friends.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'', you Mii can '''be''' cute kittens, as it is a ''Class'' that focuses on dishing out damage with WolverineClaws and restore MP to teammates by cuddling them.
* As one could expect from a game named ''VideoGame/CatQuest'', almost its ''entire cast'' consists in Cute Kittens.

* ''VideoGame/NekoAtsume: Kitty Collector'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as its title implies]], has you collecting kittens. More specifically, you use cat food and toys such as balls and scratching posts to attract cats to your yard. However, like real-life cats, the cats in this game are a bit shy and [[PaintingTheMedium will only come to your yard]] [[IdleGame while the game app is closed]].
* Jibanyan from ''VideoGame/YokaiWatch'' is the series mascot and is a cute, talking cat.
* ''VideoGame/TheTalosPrinciple'': There's one on the cover art, and you can free one in level B7. [[spoiler:If you do, it changes the "free will" ending slightly, with you character picking up and holding a kitten at the ending.]]

* ''VideoGame/TinkerQuarry'': Although he resembles an adult cat, Whiskers has a cheerful personality, and is quite the NiceGuy, invoking this.

* The 144th champion in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' is Yuumi the Magical Cat, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin who is exactly what her title describes her as]]. While she [[TalkingAnimal speaks]] and has an arsenal of [[WhiteMage supporting magic]] as she rides around on a flying SpellBook, she otherwise possesses every [[AnimalStereotypes cute cat stereotype]] in the books, making her one of the most utterly adorable members of the cast.


* The video game ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'' marketed itself on being able to play as an adorable orange moggie wandering through a cyberpunk style world, complete with the ability to meow, jump, and solve puzzles by knocking stuff off ledges.

* Cats are a frequent appearance in the ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy'' series, owing to its creator, Matt Roszak, [[AuthorAppeal being a big fan of them]]:
** A limbless cat named [=NoLegs=] appears in every installment - first appearing as ''[[VideoGame/BrawlRoyale Brawl Royale's]]'' first opponent, then appearing atop ''[[VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy1 Epic Battle Fantasy 1's]]'' first boss, [[KingMook King Slime]]. All subsequent installments have him as an ally, with him being a playable character in ''VideoGame/BulletHeaven'', ''VideoGame/BulletHeaven2'' and ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5''.
** Similar limbless cats appear as an enemy type starting from ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy2''.
** [[WebAnimation/NCHProductions NCHProductions']] mascot, a pale yellow cat named Meow Meow, also cameos in the series - first appearing as one of Natalie's [[SummonMagic Summons]] in [=EBF2=], as a sidequest-giving NPC and a skill in [=EBF3=], and as the Meow Meow Badge in [=EBF5=].
* ''VideoGame/FragileDreamsFarewellRuinsOfTheMoon'' relies heavily on this. Not only can you feed and play with stray cats, but there are three mandatory quests that involve Seto following or befriending a cat. Part of Ren's motif is her strong friendship with the cats. Cats are arguably the one thing in the game that is ''happy'', put there to cheer the player up.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Diona is a playable Catfolk who is of the small girl model, and thus comes across as a kitten and has the Tsundere attitude one expects from a cat. She works at Mondstadt's Cat's Tail Tavern, where patrons come to drink while in a bar full of cats; said patrons usually start off thinking Diona is just wearing something to fit the gimmick, but are surprised to find out she is indeed catfolk.
* ''VideoGame/HiddenCity'' has Snowy, a fluffy orange cat with big eyes who somehow wanders into the City, prompting his human family to come looking for him. The game certainly milks his cute charms by featuring him as a bonus avatar in various events, and in the 2021 Halloween event, he is featured in a mini-game which the player can play every 12 hours in exchange for artifact assemblers and other rewards. The Detective describes him as "the City's favourite cat".
* ''VideoGame/TheSims'':
** In ''VideoGame/MySims'', the cat statue ground flair adds 3% to a building's cuteness.
** In ''VideoGame/{{The Sims 3}}'', a Sim who uses the "Awwww" interaction on a kitten will receive the +10 moodlet "Kittens!" for one Sim hour. A cat that had just given birth to a litter of kittens will give herself and her family the +80 moodlet "New Kittens" for one Sim day. All the same things work with {{Precious Pupp|y}}ies, too.
* ''VideoGame/WarioWareSmoothMoves'' has ''disco dancing kitties'' in Jimmy T's stage.

* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** There are plenty of stray cats to feed and befriend in ''VideoGame/Persona3''. One of Elizabeth's Requests is to feed one in particular. When you do feed it, it comes back looking larger and healthier.
** ''VideoGame/Persona4'' has them too, including one you can spend time playing with to increase a social stat.
** ''VideoGame/Persona5'' has Morgana, a BadassAdorable anthropomorphic cat (or cat-like creature, it's unclear) who tags along with the protagonists in their quest to help those who abuse their power reform.
* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' also provides lots and lots of cats to feed in the game's strangely endearing "Animal Feeding" mini-quests. The game went as far as to reinstate the Cat as a Chinese Zodiac constellation, and this Brush God gets along quite well with Amaterasu despite the latter being a canine.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Even Kel'Thuzad has [[MoralityPet a cat]]. And he gets [[BigNo angry]] if [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential it's killed]] (however, rumors about doing so making him harder to kill or altering the {{Random Drop}}s have been proven false).
** On the other hand, an undead questgiver has nothing better to do with her kitty than using it as a guinea pig for experiments with demonic substances.
** With pet battles, now there are many different cats to collect as vanity pets, including Kel'Thuzad's cat, Mr. Bigglesworth, now a reward if you collect certain pets that drop from older raids. Unlike most cats in the game, he's classified as undead and has ice attacks.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'':
*** There are quite a few cats in the game, who always come up and greet Link (be he human or wolf) with a 'Mew!'. You can even cuddle them! In the Hidden Village you can even play a game where you have go talk to them all, and one of the responses you can get if you talk to cat which you've already talked to is "We're already friends, meow!". Awww. Telma's cat is a very plot important kitty.
*** There's also the minigame late in the game where you explore the Hidden Village as a wolf in order to find and talk to 20 cats, all of whom want to be friends!
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': Remlits look cute and innocent, but only during the day. [[CatsAreMean At night...]]

* In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'', there are cats hiding in some areas. Upon picking a cat up, it will go back to the village. Normally you can't do anything with them (aside from [[VideogameCrueltyPotential hitting them to make them freak out]]), but if you have a particular glyph, you can transform into a CatGirl and talk to them to get some hints. Also, the cats are all [[ThemeNaming named after various ingredients]] (like Soybean, Flour and Tofu), which makes them all the more cuter. Holding the stylus on the screen while one of the cats is present will cause a toy mouse to appear, allowing you to tease the cats with it and make them jump after it.
* [[CatGirl Chen]] from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' is sometimes depicted in fanart as having cat subordinates. And her animal form, as part of her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekomata nekomata]] shtick, is a two-tailed cat. She canonically ''tries'' to have cat subordinates. They don't listen to her and only hang around because she feeds them.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManV'' for UsefulNotes/GameBoy introduced players to Tango, a cute, green robotic cat that meowed endearingly when summoned--and then [[BadassAdorable sprouted spikes and rolled menacingly into enemies]]! ''VideoGame/MushroomKingdomFusion'' brought him back as one of Roll's weapons.

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': Your character can interact with the simply adorable [[http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Felyne Felyne]], a race of cat people. Starting with ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunterFreedom2 Monster Hunter Freedom Unite]]'', keeping one as a partner has beneficial effects such as decreasing damage taken, enhancing the benefits of food consumed, reducing field tool breakage, affecting the size of your bombs, improve cooking results, negating the intimidation effects of some monsters, and much more. But watch out for the [[http://monsterhunter.neoseeker.com/wiki/Melynx Melynx]]; behind their cuddly appearance lies master thieves and pickpockets. In ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPortable3rd'', ''two'' Felynes can accompany you on hunts as Palicoes, helping you fight monsters and gather items. ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterGenerations'' lets you ''play as'' a Felyne hunter.

* During one ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' quest, [[RelaxOVision certain gruesome scenes (such as a brain transplant) are censored with animations of kittens performing adorable actions such as playing with yarn or wearing pirate outfits]].
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
** Subverted in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' "The Stone Prisoner" DLC. Kitties aren't nearly as cute [[spoiler: when possessed by demons]].
** Played straight in ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]''. You can give Anders a cute little kitten that he will immediately gush over, naming it "Ser Pounce-a-lot". Anders' love of cats has a tragically hilarious backstory: [[spoiler: the only fond memories he had of his time in the Circle Tower were the times he played with a cat that lived in the Tower named Mr. Wiggums. Sadly, Mr. Wiggums somehow became possessed by a Rage Demon and had to be put down -- but not before Mr. Wiggums ''killed three Templars by himself'']]. Also, sadly Anders had to give up Ser Pounce-A-Lot after he nearly gotten him killed during an expedition to the Deep Roads (though he still has a deep love for cats).
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' Leliana and Sten have a conversation about Leliana catching the 'fierce Qunari warrior' playing with a kitten. Sten of course justifies it as 'training'. (As in, giving 'warrior training' ''to the cat''. No one believes it for an instant.)

* ''VideoGame/CatPlanet'' [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin of course!]]

* Kitten Helpers, Workers, Engineers, and Overseers are all upgrades you can purchase in ''VideoGame/CookieClicker''. Their effectiveness increases as you accumulate more milk[[note]]Itself earned by unlocking achievements[[/note]]. Notable for being among the few things you can do that doesn't [[BlackComedy make the world a significantly worse place]].

* ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'': "Save Cat" in the [=DLC=] mission ''The Assignment''. When you save the game, a black cat with a red ribbon round its neck appears for Kidman to stroke.

* In ''VideoGame/ExoptableMoney'', the player can buy a cat that he is she can send out to collect money, with visible hearts pouring out of the kitten each time it comes back. [[spoiler:Don't get too attached to it, as Madame Sinclair takes notice and skins it so you can make more money off its fur.]]

* ''VideoGame/SeventhDragon III: Code VFD'' has you get involved making a cat cafe at one point, the completion of which requires you to go into the Tokyo Underground and rescue some cats. Offering cat food to the cafe lets you rest there, restoring all parties' LF and MN and giving everyone some SP. For the rest of the game, you can occasionally find stray cats to recruit for the cafe.

* ''VideoGame/EiyudenChronicleHundredHeroes'': [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rabbitandbearstudios/eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes The Kickstarter campaign]] has used the abundance of cats as a marketing point, and a golden one is available as backer-exclusive DLC. There was also a reward for premium backers to have their own cats appear in the game, but that sold out within just the first hour or so.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'':
** Talk to a cat while Madchen is in the party, and Party Chat with her afterward. Nine times out of ten, she'll be delighted.
** Saber looked an absolutely adorable golden-and-red furball as a cub. People are shocked that Sabrecats can even be tamed.

* In ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'', [[PlayerCharacter Sissel]] turns out [[spoiler:to have been a stray kitten during the fateful day ten years before the game's present in Temsik Park. During the prime timeline, he grew up to be a CoolCat as the BigBad's quite literal MoralityPet, with Yomiel even naming him after his fiance who killed herself to be TogetherInDeath with him.. And during the altered timeline created during the game's climax, he stayed a kitten as Temsik Meteorite fragment was now lodged in his body instead of Yomiel's body.]]

* In ''WebAnimation/TrueTail'' The main character is a young orphan cat named Caleb Lightpaw... yes, that is his last name.

* There's [[HeelFaceTurn Good Kitty]] in the ''Arfenhouse'' [[VideoGame/{{Arfenhouse}} games]] and [[WebAnimation/{{Arfenhouse}} movies]].
* White Kitty from ''WebAnimation/GoodbyeKitty''. His rival Black Kitty, however, [[JerkAss is a completely different story]].
* ''WebAnimation/OllieAndScoops'' has many cute cats, but Scoops stands out with how affectionate he is towards Ollie.
* The 2015 student film [[https://vimeo.com/124256124 "The Casebook of Nips & Porkington"]] by Melody Wang, has Nips the Cat a cute detective who tries to recover a stolen egg. His sidekick is a middle age pig named "Porkington".
* ''WebAnimation/CatsingCall'': All the cats are adorable in their designs and mannerisms, although the black kitten and Osiris' servant are the only ones who are clearly kittens.

* Nastily subverted in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}''. Kel'Noz gives little Ariel a kitten - which then gets sick while Ariel is locked in a room for a week with it, and Ariel's abusive older sister Syphile, disgusted, [[KickTheDog kills the kitten in front of her]].

* Marshmallow Cat, from ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'', is genetically modified to be the world's most perfect cat. [[spoiler:She gets pregnant with the scary black cat and has tons of [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter ridiculously cute kittens]].]]
* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041011 Krosp]] from ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' isn't cute exactly, but he's very good for Agatha.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Rhapsodies}}'' Goblin, Lysistrata's store cat, [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/08182009/ exploits]] [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/03042010/ this]] [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/04212010/ for]] [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/09202010/ all]] [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/05112012/ it's]][[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/08232012/ worth.]]
* The Evil from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' alternate between this and CatsAreMean. Give them their daily milk, and they're [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=021123 the cutest little things around]]. Don't give them their milk, and they'll shred you into tiny little gory pieces.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Mr. Scruffy. In a stick figure comic, his presence never fails to add a sense of levity to the scene. Even when he's disemboweling minor human characters. (A joke about a notorious quirk in the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' game rules.)
* When the mad scientist of ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' has her superintelligent gerbils begin their inevitable rebellion against their creator, she sends in a cute kitten named Sir Pounce. The gerbils' human intelligence causes them to [[CutenessProximity coo and aww]] over the kitten even as he eats them one by one. After his death, Sir Pounce is spotted in Hell.

* ''Webcomic/CatNine'' of course, which can turn into other animals or {{cat girl}} too.

-->'''Alt text''': [[CutenessOverload BUY BUY BUY HAHAHA OH MY GOODNESS HELLO OH HELLO THERE]]

* In ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', the irascible Ruby acquires a kitten whose cuteness (arguably mostly an InformedAttribute) serves to relieve her HairTriggerTemper; see, for example, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sticky-dilly-buns/pet-the-kitty the scene where he's introduced to Amber (who names him "Minow").]] For a BilingualBonus, French-Canadian cats do not "meow" or "miouw".

* ''Webcomic/TheGamercat'' manages to do this even though most of the main cast is made of cats: Pixel (a female cat) finds Glitch the kitten adorable, and in a story arc Gamercat himself tries to use Glitch's cuteness to pick up girls.
* In ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'', the main cast eventually take in a kitten. At some point, the animal causes such a bad case of CutenessProximity in most of the team that they don't notice Lalli has woken up from his two day long DeepSleep until the one person who noticed points it out.

* Creator/ChuckJones did a very effective [[WesternAnimation/FeedTheKitty series of cartoons]] where an adorable kitten brings out the protective, loving side of a big tough bulldog.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' episode "El Secuestro" has Archer finding out that Cheryl, the ISIS secretary, is secretly a heiress with a pet ocelot... and the notably JerkAss secret agent is instantly smitten with the exotic cat. "Oh my God, you guys! Look at his little spots! And his tufted ears!"

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "May the Best Pet Win", one of the pets involved is an adorable little "putty tat".

* In ''WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011'' young {{Catfolk}} Wilykat and Kit are cute {{Cheerful Child}}ren, but also experienced [[TheArtfulDodger Artful Dodgers]] who very [[DeliberatelyCuteChild deliberately]] [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope when searching for [[TheCon marks]] to pickpocket. When they try to convince TheHero Lion-O to let them [[TagAlongKid tag along]] with his team of Thundercats, they CatSmile, FauxPaw and employ kittenish mewling to play on their sympathies.

* [[https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f1/4c/1c/f14c1c47e12393d845f6e279c54c4aae--cartoon-cats-vs.jpg Buurpoes the kitten]] from the Dutch children's series ''Woezel & Pip'' is a very cute kitten.

* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', the main character has a cat, and he can win more kitties at the fair (as well as a supply of food!). [[spoiler:Later on, we learn Magus used to have a cat named Alfador...and if you have Magus in your active party and go where the cat is, he'll follow his owner around the area! Aww...]]
** Cats are pretty much a running gag in the game. [[spoiler: When you fight Ozzie as part of Magus' sidequest, you hit a switch and fall down a pit. After heading back, everyone prepares for battle, then stops and they all watch as a cat randomly wanders in and presses the switch that kills Ozzie, then leaves.]][[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFrWhc5mmrc link.]] ]]

* ''A Kitten For Hitler'' is a short created by Creator/KenRussell where a little Jewish boy travel to Germany to give Hitler one of these for Christmas hoping it will give him a change of heart. It almost works, until he notices the boy's Swastika shaped birthmark and Star of David necklace. Can you tell that this was intentiona;ly made to shock?

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Diona is a playable Catfolk who is of the small girl model, and thus comes across as a kitten and has the Tsundere attitude one expects from a cat. She works at Mondstadt's Cat's Tail Inn bar, where patrons come to drink while in a bar full of cats; said patrons usually start off think Diona is just wearing something to fit the gimmick, but are surprised to find out she is indeed a catfolk.

* Music/TaylorSwift has designed several greeting cards featuring kittens including [[http://www.clintoncards.co.uk/product/CAA7862/ this one]]. She's on record as saying "I feel like kitten cards make everything better, pretty much." [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090913132746/http://content.usatoday.com/communities/pawprintpost/post/2009/09/taylor-swift-kittens-make-bad-times-all-better/1 Here.]] And of course she then went and [[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/taylor-swift-new-cat-benjamin-button_n_5cc47defe4b0fd8e35bcf459 adopted]] one (two, now).

** ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' - Villainess Yzma gets dosed with a vial of her own transformation serum and turns into an evil, terrifying... floofy little kitten.

--> "Jeepers, I'm all furry!"
* You really can't blame the MisaimedFandom of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' for thinking Tai Lung is awesome - after all, he's incredibly badass and [[EvilIsCool cool]] and [[UnintentionallySympathetic oddly sympathetic]] - but the real clincher comes when we see Shifu's flashbacks to raising him from a kitten. [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter A rambunctious, big-eyed, fluffy-tailed, eager-to-please, kung-fu-lovin' kitten]]. The [[WordOfGod creators themselves]] admitted that they may have gone a bit too far in trying to avoid a one-note villain.

*** Goes even further in the Spin-offs, in the Orphanage the directors and other kids were terrified of her because she was so strong despite all she wanted to do was play and have friends. And it got to the point where every time she asked an innocent question *Why is the sky blue?* *Why is soup hot?* the directors would openly ridicule her for "Being stupid" alienating herself further from others.

* {{Subverted|Trope}} / {{Inverted|Trope}} depressingly in ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}''. That's right, they subverted cute kittens.
