History Main / SexyCatPerson

* In ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'', the game Alfheim Online features a race of cat-like fairies called the Cait Sith, with members of the race bearing cat ears and tails. The only significant characters who are members of the race, Silica and Sinon, are attractive girls who are also part of Kirito's UnwantedHarem.

* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' has Koneko Toujou's buxom older sister Kuroka. Both of them are nekomata.
* Eris in ''Literature/CatPlanetCuties'' is a [[BuxomBeautyStandard stacked]] CatGirl with [[InnocentFanserviceGirl no nudity taboo]]. When the Catian mothership arrives, it's shown that the rest of her species is similarly sexy and has very liberal ideas regarding nudity, casual sex, and polygamy compared to Japan. Also, they get much of their understanding of Japanese culture from Eris reading [[PornStash Kio's magazines]].

* ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' has Meowscarada

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Blake the [[LittleBitBeastly cat faunus]] is noted both in and out of universe to be sexy. Her design is made to be androgynous and form-fitting to be attractive to both sexes and many characters proclaim their attraction to her. She is also the only member of the Team who has a confirmed relationship (albeit a failed one) before the series, and has multiple people interested in her over the course of it.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': When Nanny Ogg's cat Greebo is at times magically transformed into a human, he is described as a battle-scarred HellBentForLeather tough guy exuding enough [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad-boy sexuality]] to leave any non-lesbian woman who sees him practically [[IncrediblyLamePun catatonic]].

** Downplayed with Starfire from ''ComicBook/TeenTitans''. She's an alien whose species evolved from cat-like creatures and she's a beautiful, flirtatious, InnocentFanserviceGirl in a skimpy costume who became notorious by being one of the first heroic characters to have non-marital sex in a DC comic. However, there's relatively little feline about her appearance or personality, and the "evolved from cats" thing is rarely mentioned.

* Yoruichi from ''Anime/{{Bleach}}'' is a sexy tanned kunoichi who can turn into a black cat and would wind up naked when reverting to her human form.

* Nyara in ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' was gradually transformed into a sexy cat girl by her [[AbusiveDad sorceror father]], who used her to test changes he then made on himself, though ''he'' styled himself after a lynx. Nyara slinks and purrs her words and is ordered to GoSeduceMyArchnemesis, but with HeroicWillpower manages to resist his orders and switch sides. In the aftermath of the first book she runs away into the wilderness not wanting to be controlled or coerced by anyone. [[BigGood Need]] goes with her and spends several months teaching her and undoing those changes that Nyara really hates, taking her more into regular CatGirl territory.

* Kirze from ''VideoGame/KingsRaid'' is a [[CatGirl Cat hybrid]] with BoobsOfSteel and HartmanHips, has cat-like mannerisms when you speak to her in the inn and her trascendence animations, and her default outfit is a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]] with a transparent short ShowgirlSkirt and [[ZettaiRyouiki high boots]].

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':

She is also the only member of the Team who has a confirmed relationship (albeit a failed one) before the series, and has multiple people interested in her over the course of it.
** When Neo [[spoiler:is possessed by the Curious Cat and turned into a CatGirl fusion of the two, she is still a decently buxom lady with some of the most revealing clothing in the series.]] Pointedly by that point most of the cast is wearing very concealing clothes to count for the weather in Atlas, so her appearance is even more striking.

* In ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'', Constable Neyla is a secretly DirtyCop and surprise BigBad. She is a tiger who wears a belly-baring tank top and cut-off jeans and uses her sexuality manipulatively. There are also the Arabian belly dancers in ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime''.

* ''ComicBook/{{Blacksad}}'': Natalia Wilford, Alma Meyer, Luanne Eva Lange and Donna Blacksad. All of whom fit this trope to a T.

* Creator/MarvelComics has Catwoman's AlternateCompanyEquivalent ComicBook/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}, and [[ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers Tigra]], a furry half-feline heroine in a bikini with definite animal instincts.

* ''Animation/ElArca'' has Panthy, a FemmeFatale panther club singer with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure.

* ''WesternAnimation/MaoMaoHeroesOfPureHeart'': King Snugglemagne is a rare male version of this trope, being a MachoCamp lion with a foppish personality. Mao Mao counts as well, if only for his BadassBaritone voice.

[[BigGood Need]] goes with her and spends several months teaching her and undoing those changes that Nyara really hates, taking her more into regular CatGirl territory.

* The enhanced physical abilities of the X5 supersoldiers in ''Series/DarkAngel'' come from having a small amount of cat DNA in their cocktail, and they're also designed to all be beautiful/handsome. The female X5s experience the feline estrus cycle, going into heat two or three times each year, which proves inconvenient for the series heroine Max in two episodes.

It's easy to see why: [[FemaleFelineMaleMutt Cat ownership and feline traits have been historically associated with women]] (although in RealLife an equal number of men and women own cats). Many things men found attractive in women were projected onto cats. They are viewed as graceful, gymnastic, and flexible; they have a mercurial temperament; if they aren't neutered, they make it obvious to everyone around when they're in heat, and even when not in heat, they have no shame in their love of being petted and stroked. It can't be a coincidence that "sex kitten" rapidly became a term for female sex symbols. [[note]]Big cats such as tigers and [[KingOfBeasts lions]], however, are seen as masculine felines instead due to their stocky builds and powerful muscles. They are thus associated more often with {{Hunk}}s or {{Amazonian Beaut|y}}ies.[[/note]]

* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', the game Alfheim Online features a race of cat-like fairies called the Cait Sith, with members of the race bearing cat ears and tails. The only significant characters who are members of the race, Silica and Sinon, are attractive girls who are also part of Kirito's UnwantedHarem.

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' has Koneko Toujou's buxom older sister Kuroka. Both of them are nekomata.
* Eris in ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'' is a [[BuxomBeautyStandard stacked]] CatGirl with [[InnocentFanserviceGirl no nudity taboo]].

Also, they get much of their understanding of Japanese culture from Eris reading [[PornStash Kio's magazines]].

* The TropeCodifier in many ways is [[Characters/CatwomanSelinaKyle Selina Kyle]] aka ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, a morally ambiguous villain-turned-(anti)hero and arguably '''the''' MsFanservice of the whole DC universe. She's a ClassyCatBurglar and FemmeFatale who serves as an occasional ally and love interest for Batman himself, while her outfit tends to be some version of a SpyCatsuit or even having her DressedLikeADominatrix.
* Marvel has Catwoman's AlternateCompanyEquivalent ComicBook/BlackCat, and [[ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers Tigra]], a furry half-feline heroine in a bikini with definite animal instincts.
* On the male side, DC's villain Catman spent decades as something of a C-list joke... until Creator/GailSimone got her hands on him in ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' and [[AuthorAppeal reinvented him]] as a badass, [[WalkingShirtlessScene frequently shirtless]], [[GuyOnGuyIsHot bisexual]] AntiVillain.
* Wonder Woman villain {{ComicBook/Cheetah}} has been this at times. Her Golden Age version was a beautiful BadassNormal woman in a fur-print catsuit with hand and foot claws. Later versions have made her a feline-human hybrid, sometimes sexy but sometimes more bestial and uncanny looking.
* Downplayed with DC's [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Starfire]]. She's an alien whose species evolved from cat-like creatures and she's a beautiful, flirtatious, InnocentFanserviceGirl in a skimpy costume who became notorious by being one of the first heroic characters to have non-marital sex in a DC comic. However, there's relatively little feline about her appearance or personality, and the "evolved from cats" thing is rarely mentioned.

* The IDW ''ComicBook/{{Angel|IDW}}'' post-show comics introduced an assassin named Dez, a [[HumanityEnsues female jaguar given the magical ability to shapeshift into a human]]. She was depicted as a ShamelessFanserviceGirl with many nude scenes.

* Neko Musume in the 2018 anime adaptation of ''Manga/GegegeNoKitaro'' finally ended up in this trope, after decades of being made ProgressivelyPrettier from her original creepy, {{Gonk}}ish appearance.

Note that for this to be the case, the character's sexiness and feline associations must both be unusual within the work -- if a work has a cast made up mostly of anthropomorphic cats, [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs don't add the sexy one]]. It also has to be the case ''within the work'', so SelfFanservice of a character who happens to be a feline but isn't particularly sexualized — such as, say, Blaze from the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series — doesn't count.

* One of the monster classes recruitable in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea}}'' is the Nekomata class, a race of sexy Felicia- esque catwomen.
