History Main / AnimalEaredHeadband

* In ''VideoGame/{{Richman}}'', there's a mechanic called the Lottery, which works [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin like what it's expected.]] The lady that offers the ticket (and sometimes reveal the winner during certain points of the game) wears a cat-eared headband in '''4'' and a bunny one in most of her later appearances.

* The Cat (a.k.a. Greer Grant Nelson), from Marvel's short-lived 1972 series, wears a masked hood with cat ears as part of her costume. She later mutated into the LittleBitBeastly ComicBook/{{Tigra}}, and the discarded costume was eventually adopted, hood and all, by Hellcat (a.k.a. ComicBook/PatsyWalker), of Marvel's ComicBook/TheAvengers and ComicBook/TheDefenders teams.
* The ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} (aka Priscilla Rich), longtime foe of DC's ComicBook/WonderWoman, wore a masked hood with cat ears as part of her costume. A second Cheetah (aka Deborah Domaine), succeeded her aunt as Wonder Woman's enemy, her own costume involving her wearing a cat-eared headband instead of the hood.
* ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fame, wears a masked hood with cat ears in most of her incarnations.
* Batman himself always has tiny bat-ears on his cowl, in all incarnations.
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}''. [[CuteBruiser Molly Hayes]] wore a kitty-eared hat at least once.
* Barbara Thorson of ''ComicBook/IKillGiants'' wears these to give herself UnusualEars. It also helps to serve as visual shorthand for how other people in the story see her as an outsider and "weirdo."
* ComicBook/SquirrelGirl wears a squirrel-ear headband as of her 2015 [[ComicBook/TheUnbeatableSquirrelGirl solo series]]. This addition to her costume tends to appear in comics (and assorted tie-in material) published later.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': The Holldiay Girls have Gel Osey wear a sexy cat outfit including a cat eared headband as punishment if she wants to stay in their sorority after she nearly sabotages a project to create a rocket to fly to Venus in her jealously and ignorance. The lesson doesn't stick and she goes out that night and messes up the project thinking that those who worked on it are no better than her.
* Comicbook/{{Critter}} wears an animal-eared headband with cat-like ears. They interface with her natural telekinesis to enhance her focus, and provide additional capabilities of their own: The ears help her to focus her abilities, and extend the reach of her senses. On at least one occasion, they allow her to hear despite the fact that her eardrums have been blown out by a villain's sonic attack.

* ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats2011'' has cat-ear bands that [[spoiler:are part of a plot to secretly brainwash teenagers into buying whatever the villains want them to]].
