Not an example of this trope - more of a separate gang composed of cats rather than one cat in a gang of dogs


* Tuffy the cat in ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies1980s''. In the reboot ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010'', there's a friendly rivalry with a squad of cats lead by two cats named Ace and Fluffy who seems to be the cat counterpart of Lucky and Cookie.

In those settings where CatsAreMean, this is done to avoid the UnfortunateImplications that a race of pets is AlwaysChaoticEvil (and avoiding the risk of alienating cat-lovers among the viewing audience), turning said cat into the TokenEnemyMinority. But in those settings where there's no AnimalJingoism and cats can be good or bad equally as often as the dogs, this is generally a way to show some "[[TokenMinority ethnic]]" variety and maintain a broader appeal for all animal lovers. As they often [[CatsAreSuperior think they are superior]], the cat is likely TheLancer of the team, representing the counterbalance to [[TheLeader the canine leader]].

* ''WesternAnimation/DogtanianAndTheThreeMuskehounds'' has a villainous example. Like the heroes, most of the main villains are dogs, but Milady is a cat - and a [[CatsAreMean pretty devious one at that]].
