* Claire of ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes'' had seven cats until 2020, when she took in three more (a mom and her kittens she was initially fostering).

* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat'' is always accompanied by his black and white cat, Jess, who later got her own SpinOff [[WesternAnimation/GuessWithJess series]].

** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEchoesShadowsOfValentia'', ''both'' Alm and Celica are seen cooing and fawning over every single kitty cat that shows up in their travels. Plus one of Alm's companions, the very socially-awkward mage Luthier, tells Alm in one of their base talks that he never got on well with humans but had beloved cat friends.

* Chifuyu in ''Manga/TokyoRevengers'' is very kind and also loves animals. He owns a cat named Peke J, who he enjoys playing with, and in the curent present timeline, he runs a pet shop.

* We'd like to hear about the cats of Queen Beruthiel in Creator/JRRTolkien's legendarium, but apparently that's a NoodleIncident.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* One of the US Rangers involved in the Battle of Mogadishu (of ''Film/BlackHawkDown'' fame) was a noted cat fan. In fact, when the US task force moved into their barracks (an abandoned hangar), there was a group of kittens with no mother. The Ranger took care of them, and others got pissed at their mewing. He simply said, "If you want to kill them, [[GoThroughMe you have to get through me]]."
* UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, who was well known among his staff for his fondness for [[PunnyName Nelson]], a cat he adopted when he worked at the Admiralty, who stayed with him in his bunker during some of the darkest days of the Blitz.
* UsefulNotes/{{Islam}}:
** Muhammad was a noted cat lover. There is an account of Muhammad cutting a sleeve off his robe rather than disturbing the cat sleeping on it. This still persists in Islam today; there are hundreds of stray cats around the Alhambra and other ancient mosques in Spain that let you pet them and give them treats. Cats are even allowed into the Masjid al-Haram, and are considered ritually clean by Islam, in ways that [[ScavengersAreScum dogs]], for example, are not.
** One of the Shahabat (Companions, people who first practiced Islam and lived in proximity to Muhammad) was named Abu Huraihah ([[MeaningfulName Father of Kittens]]) because he kept many cats in his household. He was also a notable source for the Hadith: According to one story, he once stepped out of his home, and all his cats gathered around him.
** There's even a brand of halal cat food sold in the UK named after Muezza, who was said to be Muhammed's favorite cat.[[note]]Although there's nothing in Islam that obligates a follower to prevent animals from eating haram food, the manufacturers argue that even if it won't be eaten by a Muslim, handling haram food (say, to feed it to a pet cat) is forbidden.[[/note]]
* The artist Louis Wain is mostly known for his huge assortment of cat paintings. He also wrote books (mostly about cats), and championed animal rights. He was a swell guy, despite being violently psychotic at times. A series of his cat paintings have been displayed in "order" from realistic portraits and cute cartoons to psychedelic abstractions in which the cat is barely visible, to allegedly portray his mental deterioration. But this wasn't the chronological order they were really painted. The psychedelic cats were experiments incorporating intricate Victorian wallpaper designs and, in some cases, Southeast Asian iconography. He did them throughout his life.
* Yaoi manga creator Miyamoto Kanno often portrays herself surrounded by cats (and hides behind them when otherwise she would have to draw her face) in the afterwords of her stories. They also sometimes appear as her characters' companions.
* Creator/HPLovecraft gave cats magical powers in his stories and wrote one, "Literature/TheCatsOfUlthar", about an entire city of cats taking terrible vengeance on an elderly pair of creeps who kill a kitten. He deeply loved his [[ValuesDissonance unfortunately named]] black childhood cat "Nigger-man"[[note]]named by Lovecraft's father, not by him[[/note]] who disappeared at the age of eight. Lovecraft never owned another cat but fed and named every alley cat in the streets of Providence. At a party, a kitten fell asleep in his lap and he remained sitting still until it woke. Near his last home was a cat colony which he christened ''Kappa Alpha Tau'', offering them catnip and letting them play and sleep in his study. His letter describing the elderly bodega cat "Old Man" will have you wiping your eyes.[[note]]'' In fancy I pictured him as a hierophant of the mysteries behind the black archway, and wondered if he would ever invite me through it some midnight... ''[[/note]] He dreamt repeatedly of walking with Old Man long after the cat had died. Shortly before his death, he wrote in a letter to a friend that he had been walking through a little wooded area near his home and found himself [[{{Psychopomp}} escorted by two kittens]].
* Creator/{{Saki}} gave the eponymous "Tobermory" a tongue to rival his usual {{Gentleman Snarker}}s, and "The Achievement of the Cat" is basically a short essay on cats' [[CatsAreSuperior inherent awesomeness.]]
* Music/FreddieMercury of Music/{{Queen}} wrote two good-bye songs dedicated to his cats shortly before his death. He had 10 cats when he died, all of whom had the run of his house and most of whom were rescues. His beloved calico Delilah was on his bed when he passed away.
** The film ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'' demonstrates this from the opening shots (including mentioning Delilah and another cat, Romeo, by name, and having Freddie announce his plans to give Delilah a room all to herself. ''One with a chandelier.'') They're also seen with Mary Austin (Freddie's friend/ex-girlfriend) and Jim Hutton (his boyfriend). Ironically, they're never seen in the same shot as Creator/RamiMalek, as [[IronyAsSheIsCast he's allergic.]]
** Freddie's Queen bandmate, Music/BrianMay, wrote "All Dead, All Dead" after the death of one of his kitties.
* Koko the gorilla was a noted fan of cats and cared for several as pets. In fact, when informed that her first kitten "All-Ball" had been killed by a car, she mourned and cried.

* Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, supposedly once cut his cape off because he didn't want to disturb a cat that was sleeping on it.
* Creator/StanleyKubrick reportedly edited all of his movies in his own house because he felt bad for leaving his cats while he shot the movies. Hell, [[MoralityPet his cats and his family]] were some of the only ones who saw his [[PetTheDog kindhearted side]] as opposed to his abrasive PrimaDonnaDirector side.
* Creator/WarrenEllis, more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, is definitely this, if [[http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=10633 this]] is anything to go by.
* Creator/GrantMorrison. He devoted part of his [[NoFourthWall fourth wall demolishing]] [[SelfInsertFic appearance]] in the finale of his ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' run to talk about how bad he felt when his cat died, how unfair it was, and how it impacted his writing of the series. This even seems to be the reason (InUniverse anyway) that he decided to [[spoiler:resurrect Animal Man's slain family, in an attempt to be kind rather than dramatic]].
* Creator/ErnestHemingway was given a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyl_cat polydactyl cat]] as a gift. His will left his house and estate to that cat and its descendants in perpetuity. [[https://www.hemingwayhome.com/our-cats There are now sixty of them living in his house]].
* Creator/AdamHowden shares this trait with his ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' character, Anders. In fact, during [[http://www.mcmbuzz.com/2011/10/10/mcm-buzz-podcast-21/ a podcast]] one of his cats came into the room meowing loudly, clearly wanting to join in the conversation.
* [[http://www.muchlove.org/its-okay-to-be-a-cat-guy-watch-some-realy-cat-guys/ It's okay to be a cat guy.]]
* And we all know that [[http://cheezburger.com/4623041024 every good soldier needs a butt kitty.]] Actually, many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have saved cats as well as dogs, and even brought them home with them through the good offices of [[https://www.spcai.org/our-work/operation-baghdad-pups-worldwide Operation Baghdad Pups]], [[https://www.nowzad.com/ Nowzad]] and other such groups. [[https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/four-legs-good/91888755/how-cats-played-a-key-wartime-role Historically many soldiers have been known to keep cats with them when they can]], and there are accounts of several soldiers jumping into Normandy with kittens zipped into their jumpsuits and various tank crews who kept cats with them and let them sleep in the turret.
** The [[http://www.natcat.org/ National Cat Protection Society]] was founded by a man who fought in WWII. Trapped in a foxhole in the middle of winter, he was almost resigned to freezing to death when a cat appeared out of nowhere and snuggled up to him. He wrote many books about cats and devoted his life to them.
** Ship's cats (who catch and kill rats) are a long-time tradition dating to the age of sail in almost every navy. Naturally the Ship's cat (or cats) are beloved mascots.
* Creator/NoriakiSugiyama, [[http://www.nekojika.com/ if his blog is to be believed.]]
* Creator/TriciaHelfer is a cat lover, having ten "rescue" cats. She insisted that {{Creator/Bungie}} agree to donate to cat-sheltering organizations as part of her contract before she would play Dare in ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST''. [[http://www.scificool.com/bsgs-tricia-helfer-and-jamie-bamber-peta-ads/ See for yourself]].
* The RealLife prevalence of this trope is presumably why the [[TheGreatDepression Depression]]-era hobo symbol for "kind lady lives here" was a drawing of a cat.
* Bethany Cosentino of Music/BestCoast would rather talk about her cats instead of her music. So much that she put her cat Snacks on the cover of her album ''Crazy For You''.
* Music/TheLindaLindas have made cats part of their brand. Both the covers of their single "VOTE!" and their album "Growing Up” feature the band members depicted as anthropomorphic cats. They had [[CuteKitten cats (in adorable costumes)]] as costars in the video for the song "Growing Up" and wore eyeliner designed to look like an actual feline. The band also recorded songs about their cats, "Nino" and "Monica", the latter featuring "vocals" courtesy of [[Music/BestCoast Bethany Cosentino]]'s cat Snacks.
* Creator/JamesFranco and his brother Dave each own two cats and apparently bring them up in conversation enough that in an interview, Dave mentioned that every time a friend greets him, the first question they ask is about his cats and he made a Funny or Die video about them.
* Hizaki, currently in Music/{{Versailles}}, often Website/{{tw|itter}}eets about his Persian cat, Sonia. One such tweet has him feeling bad because he has to leave Sonia behind whenever Music/{{Versailles}} tour.
* Creator/MarlonBrando had a kitty cat who [[http://www.barnorama.com/wp-content/images/2011/03/b%20863/01.jpg helped with his correspondence]]. He also famously adopted a stray cat that was hanging around the set of ''Film/TheGodfather'', and [[ThrowItIn included it in a couple of his scenes]].
* Music/JohnLennon was a lifelong cat person. As with Kubrick mentioned above, Lennon could be abusive and violent but was also often willing to PetTheDog -- er, cat.
* Music/PattiSmith cherishes her cats, especially Cairo, a runt Abyssinian whose name comes from the fact that she's the same color as the Great Pyramid. Patti describes them in her book ''M Train'' and even [[TooMuchInformation goes into a little too much detail]] when she describes waking from a strange dream to find Cairo urping a hairball.
* Creator/RobertDowneyJr is a noted fan of cats, and has said in interviews that he's constantly taking photos of his kitties Monty and Dart, and at one point while filming a movie stopped in the middle [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny so he could look at a nearby cat.]] He also once refused to stay somewhere that wouldn't allow him to take his cats with him.
* Manga author and illustrator [[http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Masato_Natsumoto Masato Natsumoto]], better known for his work for SNK (and specially ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters: Kyo'' manga and games) and his manga adaptation of ''Record Of Lodoss Wars''. He really loves his two cats, Mya and Nanao.
* Comedian Marc Maron frequently discusses his three formerly feral cats in his routines and on his [[http://www.wtfpod.com podcast]]. He also has an entire routine, appropriately titled Cat Guy, on the subject. This also appears in his LifeEmbellished TV show ''{{Series/Maron}}''.
* Vanna White of ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' fame often mentions her cat, Stella. She used to have a second cat named Kiki but had to give it away because it fought with Stella.

* LetsPlay/{{Strippin}} and WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue are both huge cat fans. Dodger has said that it seems to be a reciprocal thing, as she reckons that if her cats had to choose between him and her, they'd save ''him''. For context, Dodger has owned the cats for much longer.
* LetsPlay/InTheLittleWood and Creator/KaeyiDream are both huge cat lovers, and own a pair of Egyptian Mau cats. They basically treat them like twin daughters.

A video of an audience he gave to a group of circus performers shows him happily stroking a pair of lion cubs.
* [[http://www.lionwhisperer.co.za/index.php Kevin Richardson, A.K.A. the Lion Whisperer]] is this taken to the extreme. His sanctuary is home to several rescued [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR_eHQkrUUY lions]] (plus [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHdciGSykc hyenas]] and black leopards), whom he interacts with on a daily basis and even takes them out for walks on the nearby reserve.
* Florence Nightingale is known for two things; her innovations and reforms to nursing, and her adoration for cats. Her Crimean War hospitals were overrun with rats so the soldiers brought her kittens. Over her lifetime she had over sixty cats.

* Ian Anderson, lead singer/flautist of Music/JethroTull, loves his kitties. He's been featured in ''Cat Fancy'' and wrote a song about how awesome cats are, "And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps."
* As mentioned above, the inhabitants of UsefulNotes/{{Istanbul}} are considered this as a whole. The relationship apparently existed before both Islam and Ataturk. On the internet, most photos and videos of cats lounging in busy public areas undisturbed will likely be from Istanbul.[[note]]When they're not, they are often from Naha, a town in Okinawa with a similar relationship to its street cats.[[/note]] The inhabitants of the city's Kadıköy district even made the news when they [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombili put a small statue]] for a beloved street cat after his death.
** On the cats' part, Turkey's street cats -- and Istanbul's in particular -- are ''far'' more human-friendly than most feral cat populations elsewhere in the world. It is not at all unusual for a cat to wander up to a human, [[HeadbuttOfLove headbutt them]], and begin purring in a clear bid for petting and/or food. They have even been known to jump into people's laps![[note]]While said cats are, on the whole, surprisingly clean and healthy for street cats, please do wash your hands after you inevitably pet said cat.[[/note]]
** There's even a ''whole'' [[https://imdb.com/title/tt4420704/ documentary]] about Istanbul's loving relationship with cats. The documentary was even considered to be titled ''[[JustForPun Cat]]stantinople''.
** Many of Istanbul's recycling machines for plastic, glass and metal containers dispense crunchies and water for both cats and dogs. [[https://www.dailysabah.com/life/environment/recycle-a-bottle-feed-a-stray-eco-friendly-automats-pop-up-across-turkey Made by a company called Pugedon]], you could actually find these in the city years ago, but now that the coronavirus made it hard for people to be out buying food in shops for community critters, they've made over 60 and plan to install them all over Turkey. Cats and dogs now hang out at these machines waiting for goodies.
* Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld [[https://www.thecut.com/2019/02/karl-lagerfeld-choupette-cat-tribute.html adored his cat Choupette]].
* Frank Fritz, from Series/AmericanPickers had a much-loved cat called Arby who sadly died of old age (he was 18, and that's pretty old for a cat). It was discussed in passing on the series that Frank has always been a cat man, and it can be seen that Frank, whilst not actually crying over the loss of his cat, was VERY subdued for quite a while after his death.
* [=SungWon=] Cho, better known as WebVideo/ProZD, has two black cats named Effie and Sophie. While he occasionally makes fun of them in his videos, it's clear that he genuinely loves them.
* A [[https://twitter.com/ParisZarcilla/status/1001748442119593984 Twitter thread by Paris Zarcilla]] went viral in 2018 when the screenwriter/producer discovered an unknown cat nursing four newborn kittens under his bed. She had apparently entered through a back door he often left open. Overwhelmed with protective emotions, Zarcilla decided he was now a "cat dad" and then and there devoted his life to protecting the family. Best of all, mama didn't have a chip, so he was able to adopt everybody. It has completely changed his life; ''The Cat Gods have smiled upon me with benevolence and turned the monsters under my bed into kittens...''

--> "When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade without further introduction."

* UsefulNotes/CardinalRichelieu was a noted cat lover, with some accounts saying he usually had a cat in his lap as he worked. He owned enough cats that he had a cattery built in his residence to house them, and there are historians who credit him with popularizing owning pet cats among the French upper classes.
* Creator/RegisPhilbin was known for having several cats. According to Creator/LeVarBurton, when he was starting out in show business, Regis gave him a black manx from his litter, whom [=LeVar=] eventually named after him.
* UsefulNotes/LouisXV was a serious cat lover, with one of his favorites being an Angora tomcat named Brilliant. He was a fairly easygoing man, but one surefire way to make him angry was to hurt one of his cats.
* Malaysia, a Muslim majority country, is also very big on cats. Like the cats in Turkey, the cats [[https://youtu.be/0CDXPcwQj4Q don't much fear humans and are very happy]]. Cats are so common a sight that people from there [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight don't always notice a cat when they see one]].
** The [[https://youtu.be/jp2qJxmwTlE Kuching Cat Museum]] and Kuching itself is, fittingly for its name, a love letter to cats.

* [=SungWon=] Cho, better known as Creator/ProZD, has two black cats named Effie and Sophie. While he occasionally makes fun of them in his videos, it's clear that he genuinely loves them.

** Milliana is of the villainous [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn (at first)]]]] variety, and has turned loving cats into an ''obsession''. At one point, she refuses to even hurt Natsu, her enemy, who was currently poorly disguised as a cat, and she was even well aware of it.
** Speaking of Natsu, he goes everywhere with his cat companion Happy, and Wendy does the same with [[CatsAreSnarkers Carla]]. Both the cats' presence make the whole Strongest Team cat lovers to various degrees.
** Amusingly enough, Gajeel can be considered this, as he reacted pretty bad when he realized he didn't have a cat companion like the other dragon-raised Dragon Slayers, and he was extremely happy to find one in Panther Lily.

** Wendy, Natsu and [[spoiler:Gajeel]] as well. Special mention got to the latter considering how he reacted with he realized he didn't have one.

* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'': A possible [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagging example]]. Matt Engarde loves cats, even owning one by the name of Shoe, and at one point even asks Phoenix to go to his apartment and feed him.

** Antonio Madrigal in ''WesternAnimation/Encanto'' is another extreme case, having a pet ''jaguar''.

* In ''Roleplay/AsukaQuest'', SB!Asuka is both a much nicer person than canon Asuka and an absolute lover of cats who gets pet cats for most of the cast. This actually nearly gives her away to Kaji, who's aware that the original Asuka was not as fond of cats.

* The RealLife prevalence of this trope is presumably why the Depression-era hobo symbol for "kind lady lives here" was a drawing of a cat.

* Margaret Hamilton, known to millions as the Wicked Witch of the West in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', was [[MeanCharacterNiceActor devoted to her cats and a long-time champion of animal welfare and rights]].

[[spoiler:and in her ending, she brings it as a gift to her fellow ex-Doll and sort-of adoptive sister Juni, who is hospitalized. The girl's reaction to the kitty, proof that she's getting better from her ordeals as a BrainwashedAndCrazy {{bodyguard babe|s}}.]]
** ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' shows off more of Cammy's love of cats. On the character select screen in Fighting Grounds mode, she is seen admiring a cat while highlighted. Her victory pose when having high HP has her pet cat come to congratulate her. In World Tour mode, her instant messenger icon is a cartoon cat version of herself, and one of her sidequests tasks you with taking pictures of cats.

* Asuka Kazama of ''VideoGame/Tekken5'' is the niece of two of the game's heroes, great-niece of the main villain, and cousin of the current protagonist, so badass is in her blood. She's also a BullyHunter and in the game's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUSZ2tCQ_Ko&feature=player_detailpage#t=190s intro]] she rescues a CatUpATree.

* Shiki Misaki of ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' fights with a stuffed cat she made herself, so she's most likely a fan of kitties.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'' both [[TheHero Ludger]] and his older half-brother Julius really like their chubby cat [[GenderBlenderName Lulu]]. The former even brings him along on his entire journey instead of leaving him at home, (Which manifests itself as a gameplay mechanic, allowing you to send Lulu out to gather items for you).

* The Felined Eccentric in ''VideoGame/SunlessSkies'' is a lovely person with three incredibly evil pet cats that she's inseparable from. [[spoiler:It turns out they aren't cats, and she didn't use to be so nice.

Her whole questline involves getting rid of them.]]

** Megumi Mikihara of ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'' is rather a FriendToAllLivingThings, but in one of her Events, she finds abandoned kittens in a cardboard box under a snowy night, and decides to take them in and take care of them until she finds kind new owners for them. It's also the basis of her scenario in ''Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Tokkae Tama'' (one of the two Puzzle Game spin-offs of the game).
* Matt Engarde from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' loves cats and owns one by the name of Shoe. He asks Phoenix to go to his apartment and feed him at one point. [[spoiler: It's a subversion because he turns out to be a BitchInSheepsClothing later on. He does genuinely care for the cat, though.]]
* Ethan Kairos from ''VisualNovel/TimeHollow'' keeps a cat named Sox who helps him on his adventure through time.
* [[GreatDetective Willard H. Wright]] from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' owns a cat named Diana who he's very fond of.

* Misae Sagara in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' has a pet cat that lives in her dorm. Tomoya is frequently seen playing with it when he visits Youhei. Cats are also Nagisa's favorite animal.
* Jumin in ''VisualNovel/MysticMessenger'' dotes on his pet cat Elizabeth the 3rd, one of the few creatures capable of bringing out his softer side. This trait of his becomes deconstructed on his route, however, where he realizes that he's been unhealthily using her as a substitute for an actual relationship with another human and acting as if she could fully understand and empathize with his emotions when in fact she's just a cat.
* ''VisualNovel/IkemenSengoku'':
** Mitsunari, easily the [[NiceGuy sweetest character]] in the game, has a pet cat named [[ADogNamedDog Kitty]].
** Kennyo [[PetTheDog saving a stray cat]] in one route is an indicator that he's [[TragicVillain not as irredeemably evil]] as he passes himself off as.
* In ''VisualNovel/HeartOfTheWoods'', all four of the main characters are good people at heart who love cats. Madison and Tara have a cat named BT, Morgan has a cat named Geladura, and while Abigail doesn't have any pets, she has an affinity for animals and hits it off well with BT [[spoiler:in the ending in which Morgan dies]]. Contrast Evelyn, a {{Jerkass}} who hates Geladura.

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** Cammy White is a highly-trained Delta Red Agent and former assassin but melts at the sight of a cat as she adores them. In ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', it turns out [[ChekhovsGun to be quite important:]] in the prologue, Cammy is shown to be friends already with a cute cream-colored cat... [[spoiler:and in her ending, she brings it as a gift to her fellow ex-Doll and sort-of adoptive sister Juni, who is hospitalized. The girl's reaction to the kitty, proof that she's getting better from her ordeals as a BrainwashedAndCrazy {{bodyguard babe|s}}.]]
** ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' shows off more of Cammy's love of cats. On the character select screen in Fighting Grounds mode, she is seen admiring a cat while highlighted. Her victory pose when having high HP has her pet cat come to congratulate her. In World Tour mode, her instant messenger icon is a cartoon cat version of herself, and one of her sidequests tasks you with taking pictures of cats.
** At the start of his story in ''Super Street Fighter IV'', Abel is shown befriending a stray cat.

* The owner of the Shin-Sekai soda joint in ''VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsTheSoullessArmy'' takes in cats that are in front of his store. You have to spend enough money there to find out, though.
* Vayne from ''VideoGame/{{Mana Khemia|AlchemistsOfAlRevis}}'' never goes anywhere without his cat Sulpher, who even starts circling his legs in an adorable idle animation if you leave him alone. To be fair, though, his bond with Sulpher is a bit more complicated than most. He also can have a more-than-just-friends relationship with catgirl student, Nikki, and [[spoiler:will even marry her in her ending, resulting in a LOT of kids]]. Roxis, meanwhile, can be found having adopted a kitten and baby-talking to it in a scene you can see while walking around the school grounds, but he'd never actually admit it to your face.
* ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' has Laury Callwell, Gene Petromolla (who's a FriendToAllLivingThings in general) and, to the surprise of the players, [[spoiler:[[GangBangers Sam]] [[SunglassesAtNight Burston]].]] They're all linked by an interesting event: Laury first finds three abandoned kittens she decides to adopt and names them. Later, if you have Gene in your girl roster and [[RelationshipValues have a good relationship]] with both Laury and Gene, Laury will lose the kitten and you can offer to search for them for her. You'll have two possible leads : [[spoiler:Go ask Gene, or go ask the local punks]]. Choosing the first option will [[spoiler:net you a special CG, where Gene has found the kitten, and, after explaining the situation, will agree to give them back, albeit with a sad face]]; choosing the second one will [[spoiler:allow you to see an unknown kind side of Sam (who's normally in antagonistic ways with the main protagonist), and he too will give the kitten back]].
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', we have both Telma and her cat Louise and Impaz with her dozens of playful, friendly kitties. Link himself can pick up and carry less shy cats around, and even plays a minigame with some of Impaz's.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':
** Ragna the Bloodedge wields the mighty Azure Grimoire, is known far and wide as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Grim Reaper]], has the world's largest bounty on his head, and is considered an SS-class criminal by the NOL...but he just loves cats, and cats seem to love him too if his interaction with Taokaka and the Kaka kitties are any indication. In fact, his young self's reaction upon meeting his future sensei Jubei (a character based on the Nekomata aka cat spirits) is... [[CutenessProximity "YOU'RE A KITTY! A BIG KITTY!"]]
** And even moreso [[HospitalHottie Litchi Faye-Ling]]. Despite obsessing over saving her partner Arakune, she still finds time to protect the Kaka clan from his threat and even teaches the not-so-blessed-in-intelligence cats, and the kitties, Taokaka included, love her very much. [[spoiler:In a redeeming point in her FaceHeelTurn, one of the things she remembered before making the heavy decision was the fun times with Taokaka.]]
** While [[HighlyVisibleNinja Bang Shishigami]] doesn't interact with the Kaka clan as much as Litchi does, Tao is one of his regular contacts and he has taken her in as an apprentice, often sparring with her if the match intros are to be trusted. This trend continues into [[VideoGame/BlazBlueChronophantasma their journey to Ikaruga]].

* Although a slightly milder example than most, [[TheHero Crono]] of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' has a pet cat, and has the opportunity to win another (they themselves will either breed or run away, depending on if you regularly take time to win cat food for them). You can have ''at least'' ten by the ending depending on how well you play this.
** Crono's mother also implies through dialogue that she doesn't enjoy looking after the cat(s) -- it's her son's job.
** An early side-task also has you return a cat to its owner -- [[spoiler:which itself determines the jury's view of you when you go on trial later]].
** In 12,000 BCE, Janus holds himself above everyone... except for his cat, Alfador. [[spoiler:And when Janus returns to that time as Magus, the cat ''still'' recognizes him and follows him around.]]

* In ''VideoGame/OfficeJerk'' and its SpinOff ''Office Zombie'', the Jerk and Zombie show are apparently this. The Jerk has a picture of himself with a cat and will occasionally "pet" the cat. The Zombie does the same, saying "Kitty..."
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyThe4HeroesOfLight'' has Rekoteh, one of the temporary party members. She has a cat plushie and a cat-shaped carpet in her room and instantly adopts the black cat that Jusqua brought to Invidia [[spoiler:mistakenly thinking it was Aire]]. She'll also turn into a cat when the Transform Staff is used on her--it emphasizes that she's kept her kind heart while everyone else in town has been embittered by their endless winter.
* ''VideoGame/FranBow'': Fran herself. One of her closest companions is her little black kitty, [[TalkingAnimal Mr. Midnight]], who calls her "my dear" and always makes sure to tell her he loves her. Awww.
* Noctis in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' has an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI__j-qn-FQ incredibly sweet little side-quest which has him and his bros feed a cute siamese]]. Beware readers, CutenessProximity [[CutenessOverload Overload]].
* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' has Dante. He brings a huge pack of cats with him onto the Grandcypher, and a gameplay gimmick for his SR version is that the happier his cats are, the stronger he becomes. He also shares a cross-fate episode with Sen, the most [[CatGirl distinctly cat-like]] of the playable Erunes. The event "The Daily Lives of Cats" shows that his cats in return are deeply loyal to him and the crew.
* ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' has Isaac himself writing a will to his cat Guppy whenever the player gets a game over, donating all of his items to his beloved late cat. If the player grabs certain items, Isaac can even ''transform'' into Guppy.
* In ''VideoGame/TheSims'', we get Ginia Kat with her four cats in ''The Sims Unleashed'' who is sweet but on the shy side and loves to write children's books in her free time. Tara Kat in ''The Sims 2 Pets'' wishes to open a pet store to help precious kitties find loving homes. And Catarina Lynx in ''The Sims 4 Cats and Dogs'' who can't turn down a poor stray cat. ''The Sims 3 Pets'' gives a more straight example of the CrazyCatLady trope with Hetty Lionheart however as she's highly disliked by everyone in town.

* ''VideoGame/LovePlus'': The normally quiet and distant [[{{Tsundere}} Rinko Kobayakawa]] becomes ''a lot'' more talkative when the player learns of her love of cats. It's the first sign that [[SugarAndIcePersonality she's not as cold as she tries to appear]].
* In one of the overworld conversations [[PlayerCharacter Ellie]] can have with her girlfriend, [[BadassIsraeli Dina]] in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', Dina mentions how she used to take care of two stray cats who lived near her old home in Arizona.
* [[PlayerCharacter V]] from ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' is implied to be fond of cats. They can adopt a stray cat that lives near their apartment, and when [[CorporateSamurai Takemura]] notices a stray cat in the mission "Gimmie Danger", V can answer with excitement that it's a "fine feline". Adds another layer of meaning to their relationship with [[BombThrowingAnarchist Johnny Silverhand]], who himself has a [[AnimalMotif cat motif]].

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'': Your character can easily turn into one of these if you're playing the side quest that involves feeding cats around Tyria (who then move into your home instance). As of Living World Season 3, this is ''canon'' -- a rescued golem moves in with the Commander and takes care of the cats.
* ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan'': Kai Doumeki, the tough, rugged, intimidating leader of the Yuuhi Town Ouendan is implied to be one of these in the second game, as he's seen hugging a cat at the end of the tutorial after it was chased by a dog. In the main menu, he's even seen ordering two of the other squad members to cheer on the same cat as it takes a nap.
** Cats show up frequently in both games (and in their Westernized counterpart ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'') and most of the characters are unfailingly kind to them (except of course to a giant kaiju-sized cat that tries to destroy Tokyo in the second game).
* ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales'' has the rough around the edges but kind at heart Bodega owner Teo Álvarez who has a cat he's named after Spider-Man (albeit he takes some warming up to Spider-Man II as he preferred Spidey I). His cat gets petnapped by the Kingpin's mooks during a raid on Teo's Bodega & Miles has to rescue the kitty. Teo later shelters his neighbours during a major fight hitting Harlem.

* This is a popular depiction of Nathan Explosion in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' fanworks. [[http://pics.livejournal.com/gearsmoke/pic/000fp7k9]]
** In canon, Toki Wartooth befriended a cat in "Dethhealth." [[spoiler:The cat sadly died at the episode's end. [[DisneyAcidSequence Toki sang an ode to it:]] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD0qyXMjb1s]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS12E3MajorBoobage Major Boobage]]" was somewhat bizarre for turning Cartman into this, serving as the one time in about ten years that one of his many, ''many'' PetTheDog moments ''didn't'' turn out to be [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk fake]] or [[PhotoOpWithTheDog manipulative]]. Well, he did have Kitty early in the show's run and refused to let Stan and Kyle put firecrackers up his butt.
* WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} in ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' has Waffles, resulting in this trope being filled by an [[FurryConfusion anthropomorphic dog]]. Later, in one ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short and ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'', he has [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Pettibone]].
* Another Disney example: WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse has Figaro the kitten from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' (see Film: Animation) above after he started appearing in shorts. That's right, a kitten is owned by an anthropomorphic mouse!
* Mrs. Hasigawa from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' combines this with a touch of CrazyCatLady. Or at least, from ''her'' perspective -- her "cats" are actually superpowered alien genetic experiments, but she's too blind and/or senile to notice.
* Dan from ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' is an interesting subversion of this trope. On the one hand, he is the show's protagonist, but on the other hand, he is ''dangerously'' unstable and possesses a HairTriggerTemper. His cat Mr. Mumbles is his literal MoralityPet and the only thing that can get him to stop a revenge scheme.
* WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants owns Gary, who is a snail, which appears to be the underwater equivalent of a cat in the show.
* This is how Ryan Adams is portrayed in ''WesternAnimation/HeyJoel''. He wrote an entire album for his dead cat Wiskers and even thinks the song "Mandy" was about a dog.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Rarity adores her cat Opalescence, despite the fact that anytime she gets near her, she [[CatsAreMean tries to swat her]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** When Homer tells his crew to think of their loved ones in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E19SimpsonTide Simpson Tide]]", Moe thinks of his cat [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Snookums]].
** While Lisa Simpson has her occasional JerkassBall moments, she is often portrayed as one of the most caring characters of the series, and she is very fond of cats.
* ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' usually has a cat named Custard as her pet.
* On ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'', Lambie, already a cute stuffed lamb who wants to give everyone a cuddle, becomes this in the ''Pet Vet'' installment "Smitten With a Kitten" when she adopts Whispers, an adorable but skittish pink toy kitten.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'':
** Egon in the BabyMorphEpisode when he is de-aged is shown to distract from his job of setting up the trap for a ghost by hugging a stray kitten. In other episodes (almost all episodes with witches involved) cats seem to follow him or like him for some reason ([[AllWitchesHaveCats might be the fact that he comes from a family of wizards]]). He (albeit in his generally emotionless way to be) is in general kind to all animals including a dragon.
** Slimer is shown to be similarly kind to cats, particularly an episode with a friendly witch’s cat ({{familiar}}) that he takes care of until the witch finds him.
* It should be noted that He-Man, the main hero in ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'', really loves his pet tiger Cringer. Of course it helps that Cringer can turn into a [[PantheraAwesome pretty awesome Battlecat]].
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', Benson catches his employees using the computer to watch funny videos instead of the business purposes it's meant for. He's about to write them up, but Mordecai and Rigby turn on a cat video. Benson ends up forgetting all about the write-up and ends up gleefully watching cat videos.

* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'': Ironically for a dog, Rubble loves to play with kittens.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Post-HeelFaceTurn, Amity gets a white cat named Ghost as a Palisman, which she clearly loves dearly. Fanon often depicts her as an full-blow cat lover who displays a lot of feline behaviours herself.

* Kaoruko of ''Manga/ComicGirls'' is [[NotGoodWithPeople more comfortable with cats than with people]], and since moving from Fukushima to Tokyo, she started having feline ''withdrawal symptoms'' since her new apartment doesn't allow pets.

* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'': The main heroine Rin might be NotGoodWithPeople, but the way she treats the many, many cats who crowd around her more than demonstrates her inner good nature.

* The various [=MISAKA=]s apparently have a strong attachment to cats in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex''. Or it may just be number 10032 that does. In any case, it's the humanizing touch given to ten thousand clones who do not otherwise have much in the way of identity or character traits at that point. The original Misaka ''Mikoto'', while finding cats adorable and cuddly like most normal girls her age, is hesitant to approach them as the ambient electricity generated by her mere presence causes discomfort in the poor little animals.

* Rikka of ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' keeps with her a gray cat dressed up in a pink top with angel wings and an attached snake plushie she calls "Chimera". When Touka, [[PlotAllergy allergic to cats]], refuses to let her keep it in their room, Yuuta would act as its caretaker.

* In ''LightNovel/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'', Sorata's love for cats got him kicked out of the regular school dorms.
-->'''Nanami:''' "You're far too much of a {{nice guy}}."

* LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} has had a few cats named after video game characters. One of them was Teddy from ''VideoGame/Mother1'' who passed away in 2016 and the other is Franchise/{{Kirby}}, both that he has taken a few silly pictures with. And in his [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokemon Emerald]] Let's Play, he named his Slakoth, Teddy.

[[quoteright:200:[[Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/catwoman_cats.jpg]]]]

* In the MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic ''Fanfic/TheLongEventide,'' Brandywine, a highly intimidating-looking earth pony who is also part of a shadowy organization known as the Umbral Society, both shows a softer side and draws ShrinkingViolet FriendToAllLivingThings Fluttershy into conversation by bringing a litter of kittens she rescued with her to a luncheon.

* The Man in the Shack in ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', who refuses to believe he rules the universe because he has no evidence the universe exists, is a generally pleasant person once he's been persuaded to temporarily accept your existence, and makes a point of being kind to his cat. Zarniwoop seizes on this as evidence that he believes in ''something'', but the Man simply replies that it makes him happy to behave a certain way to something he thinks may be a cat.

* Asuka Kazama of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' is the niece of two of the game's heroes, great-niece of the main villain, and cousin of the current protagonist, so badass is in her blood. She's also a BullyHunter and in the game's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUSZ2tCQ_Ko&feature=player_detailpage#t=190s intro]] she rescues a CatUpATree.

* The Felined Eccentric in ''Videogame/SunlessSkies'' is a lovely person with three incredibly evil pet cats that she's inseparable from. [[spoiler:It turns out they aren't cats, and she didn't use to be so nice. She became how she is now after being imprisoned in [[EldritchLocation Piranesi]] and the "cats" are actually aspects of her personality that refuse to go away. Her whole questline involves getting rid of them.]]

* LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} has had a few cats named after video game characters. One of them was Teddy from ''VideoGame/Mother1'' who passed away in 2016 and the other is Franchise/{{Kirby}}, both that he has taken a few silly pictures with. And in his [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyandSapphire Pokemon Emerald]] Let's Play, he named his Slakoth, Teddy.

** The film ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'' demonstrates this from the opening shots (including mentioning Delilah and another cat, Romeo, by name, and having Freddie announce his plans to give Delilah a room all to herself. ''One with a chandelier.'') They're also seen with Mary Austin (Freddie's friend/ex-girlfriend) and Jim Hutton (his boyfriend). Ironically, they're never seen in the same shot as {{Creator/Rami Malek}}, as [[{{IronyAsSheIsCast}} he's allergic.]]
