the cait sith in Final Fantasy VII? "sith", from my understanding, is the scottish spelling of the word rather that irish, but i don't blame you for mixing them up.
re: comment below; typo, sorry about that

Cait Sith was from Final Fantasy VII. Also, I don't know if I would consider that character evil as such. He wasn't really openly mean either, so much as a mole, but ultimately helped the party.

not OFF, let me explain.
a while ago i was browsing some trope or other and saw an example of a JRPG with a cat character, i think described as irish, who was openly mean, and later turned out to be evil. the entry said this was an Obvious Judas for western audiences, but caught japanese audiences completely by surprise, because the cat appeared to be a harmless annoying mascot character they automatically tended to ignore.
the game itself was japanese, and i'm pretty sure it was a later installation in an established series of games.
i can't remember exactly what trope it was. i ctrl+f'd "cat" in ObviousJudas.Video Games, The Dog Was the Mastermind, AmericansHateTingle.Video Games, LostInTranslation.Video Games, and TomatoSurprise.Video Games, but found nothing.
