* In ''Series/LostGirl'', Bo gets into one with ''Zeus'' of all things (yes, [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyOlympians that Zeus]]). It's a cat fight because Zeus has possessed the body of a hot blonde while on Earth, both women are wearing gorgeous dresses including heels, and they duke it out in a decidedly unrefined style on the floor of Bo's home. The whole scene provides a pretty jarring contrast to the power and grace that Bo usually displays in hand-to-hand combat.

* Wrestling/JimCornette believes men make better managers than women because whimpy men tend to be more [[VeryPunchableMan punchable]] and that women who can't wrestle are best for this trope. That said, on shows he has anything resembling an authoritative position, such as Wrestling/{{SMW}}, Ohio Valley, [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] or Wrestling/RingOfHonor, he's made his preference for actual matches between trained women athletes than for cat fights visible. His lamentation being there are simply less of those athletes available since Fabulous Moolah stopped working as a trainer.

* ''Film/Funhouse2020'': Subverted. Ximena and Ula, two attractive young women, end up being forced to fight each other to the death after they've been sniping at each other for days, but the fight is realistically brutal with no [[ClothingDamage stripping]] or hair-pulling as they are given battle axes and the light is turned off to make it more difficult.

** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' both featured fights between Angewomon and (two different) [=LadyDevimon=] near their respective climaxes. Much hairpulling and slapping ensued.
** Izzy in the dub lampshades it: "I feel like I shouldn't be watching this..." In the original Japanese and the Latin-American dub, he instead said "Women are something to be very afraid of, when they're angry!"
** During the first cat fight, Angewomon angrily rebukes [=AtlurKabuterimon=] for trying to help her or catching her when she got thrown around (for which [[SorryIFellOnYourFist he apologises]]), and Angewomon's partner Hikari was actively ''encouraging'' Angewomon to hit [=LadyDevimon=] harder.
** It should be noted that Angewomon digivolves from Tailmon, a cat Digimon. And if we consider the expanded canon, [=LadyDevimon=] can digivolve from the corrupted version, [=BlackTailmon=], making this an almost-literal case.

** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' both featured fights between Angewomon and (two different) [=LadyDevimon=] near [=LadyDevimon=]. Despite being Ultimate-level Digimon who specialize in ranged attacks that draw on their respective climaxes. Much hairpulling holy and dark powers, their battles invariably devolve into slapping, hair-pulling catfights.
*** While Angewomon's HolyHandGrenade powers are supposed to give her a [[ElementalRockPaperScissors type advantage]] against [=LadyDevimon=], [=LadyDevimon=] manages to [[ScissorsCutsRock overpower Angewomon]] each time, partly by taunting Angewomon into engaging her in a reckless melee.
*** In fact, even though [=LadyDevimon=] catches Angewomon defenseless and from the behind several times, she chooses to continue [[JustToyingWithThem toying with Angewomon]] by kicking her into a cliff or swinging her around [[ByTheHair by her hair]].
*** This requires [=AtlurKabuterimon=] to step in and save Angewomon, but Angewomon [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou rebukes him for interfering]]. She then uses [=AtlurKabuterimon=] as a launching pad from which she kicks off to shoot back towards [=LadyDevimon=], then BitchSlap her. This results in a protracted
slapping ensued.
** Izzy
match between the two, during which Angewomon's partner Hikari ''shouts at Angewomon to hit [=LadyDevimon=] harder''.
*** [=LadyDevimon=] eventually defeats Angewomon in this catfight by [[RoundhouseKick roundhouse kicking]] her into the ground. [=AtlurKabuterimon=] yet again saves Angewomon, but she scolds him and tells him to get out of her way. He even [[SorryIFellOnYourFist apologises]].
*** The same pattern repeats itself in their second battle: The two again pull hair and slap each other; [=LadyDevimon=] once again overpowers Angewomon, this time by twisting Angewomon's arms painfully against her sides; Angeowmon's allies again arrive on the scene to save her before [=LadyDevimon=] can finish Angewomon off.
***Izzy
in the dub directly lampshades it: the Trope during their first battle: "I feel like know I shouldn't be watching this..." this, but [[GirlOnGirlIsHot I can't take my eyes off]]!" In the original Japanese and the Latin-American dub, he instead said "Women are something to be very afraid of, when they're angry!"

* ''Series/ReplacingChefChico'': Discussed and subverted in the third episode. Upon realizing that they're serving a man's wife and his mistress on the same night, Wena thinks that they're going to have a catfight and promises to film the smackdown. However, the two women actually spend the night on good terms, and resolve to leave the man — they even stick him with the bill!

* ''Film/TheOutlawsIsComing'': After they run out of ammo, the gunfight between Annie Oakley and Belle Starr turns into a knockdown, drag-out catfight in the middle of the street.



* Subverted in Film/TheThreeStooges movie ''Film/TheOutlawsIsComing'', where [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Annie Oakley and Belle Starr]] get into a parodical old-west style knock-down-drag-out fistfight in the middle of the muddy street, rather than a stereotypical cat fight. The extreme, stereotypical ''masculinity'' of their fight is what made it funny, since they were both dressed in long gowns with petticoats.

* ''Film/MysteryMen'' has a scene where two women dressed as Franchise/WonderWoman get into a fight that becomes this. This being ''Mystery Men'', its PlayedforLaughs. Anyways, it's {{down played|trope}} as we don't get to see it, nor them.
