History Main / NiceKitty

* In ''BlackHawkDown'', [[TrappedBehindEnemyLines Twombly]] feels the need to address a donkey trotting down the street near him:

* In ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'', JamesBond commands a tiger to "Sit!" (in Barbara Woodhouse's distinctive tone). And it does.

* The titular lion in ''SecondhandLions''. Definitely a very nice kitty, she is impossibly tame, though very protective of her cub (Walter).
* PeeWeesBigAdventure - stranded in the middle of nowhere in pitch dark, Pee-Wee hears nearby growling and nervously goes "nice kitty..." When he turns on a light, he finds himself surrounded by big predatory animals that absolutely don't belong in the American desert southwest.

* You think TimAllen's character is going to do this when he sees a dog in his first foray as Santa in ''TheSantaClause'', but he subverts it: "Nice... teeth!"

* Disney's ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''. As can be heard [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azx4nULOlhg here, starting at 8:10]], Aladdin says "Down kitty...Look! A mouse!...Scat...C'mon, good tiger... Take off and go!...Down kitty".

* There's an old saying that goes: '''''Diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie' until you can find a rock.'''''

Occasionally the Kitty turns out to be an actual Nice Kitty, and acts like a [[AllAnimalsAreDogs giant puppy]].

* In ''Yu-Gi-OhGXTheAbridgedSeries'' Jaiden attempts this with a dog that mauls him off screen.

* [[Disney/TheAristocats "Nice doggy, nice doggy, roll over, play dead!"]]

* I know I've seen this on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' with Homer doing a Phil Silvers-esque voice, but I don't know if Phil Silvers himself ever did it or not. (Or TopCat, who was based on Silvers.)

* Mike in the Teaser Trailer for ''MonstersInc'': "Nice doggy. Nice ''big'' doggy."

* Complete inversion on ''AzumangaDaioh'': The animal is tiny, not big; the character approaches it while placating it instead of backing away, and instead of it turning out to be nice, it turned out to be [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily exactly as dangerous as it didn't look.]]

* In ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'', Bakura tries that offscreen with a tiger. [[TheChewToy Doesn't help, obviously.]]

* In ''{{Octopussy}}'', JamesBond commands a tiger to "Sit!" (in Barbara Woodhouse's distinctive tone). And it does.
* In ''{{Ghostbusters}}'' when Louis Tully is confronted by the monstrous Vinz Clortho, he tries to soothe it with, "Good doggie...nice little pooch..."

Occasionally the Kitty turns out to be an actual NiceKitty, and acts like a [[AllAnimalsAreDogs giant puppy]].

* In a ''[[KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder King's Quest V]]'' death, Graham says "nice birdie" to a roc hatchling about to eat him. [[spoiler:Of course, that death is averted if he [[MercyRewarded gave the remaining meat to an eagle]] and grabbed the pendant on the roc's nest before the egg hatched.]]

* I know I've seen this on ''TheSimpsons'' with Homer doing a Phil Silvers-esque voice, but I don't know if Phil Silvers himself ever did it or not. (Or TopCat, who was based on Silvers.)
* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Aang flees a big horned gorilla thing until he realizes it's King Bumi's pet. Then he tentatively asks, "...Flopsy?" To which Flopsy responds by grabbing him and cuddling him.

* In ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'', Bakura tries that offscreen with a tiger. [[ChewToy Doesn't help, obviously]].

* Disney's ''[[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Aladdin]]''. As can be heard [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azx4nULOlhg here, starting at 8:10]], Aladdin says "Down kitty...Look! A mouse!...Scat...C'mon, good tiger... Take off and go!...Down kitty".

* In a ''KingsQuestV'' death, Graham says "nice birdie" to a roc hatchling about to eat him.

Occaisionally the Kitty turns out to be an actual NiceKitty, and acts like a [[AllAnimalsAreDogs giant puppy]].

** By the way, the "Good tiger... Take of and go!" part is one of the movie's most infamous {{Mondegreens}}.

* Disney's ''[[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Aladdin]]''. As can be heard [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azx4nULOlhg here, starting at 8:10]], Aladdin says "Down kitty...Look! A mouse!...Scat...C'mon, good kitty...Take off!...Down kitty".

* Disney's ''[[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Aladdin]]''. As can be heard [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azx4nULOlhg here, starting at 8:10]], Aladdin says "Down kitty...Look! A mouse!...Scat...C'mon, good kitty...Take off!...Down kitty". He also says some things I can't hear clearly because the Genie is talking.
** I believe the ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' line is "Good kitty -- don't get too close, now," which led to [[MemeticMutation claims]] that Aladdin was saying something like, "Good teenagers take off all their clothes now."

* In ''YuGiOhAbridged'', Bakura tries that offscreen with a tiger. [[ChewToy Doesn't help, obviously]].
