[[File:Intro-bicp2-300x165.png|frame]]
In a world not too different from our own, humans share the planet with a mysterious servant species known as Beings. Shapeshifting, flying [[Mon|battle monsters]], they have spent countless ages dueling each other in a contest with no end, known as the Game...

(None of this would have happened if they'd gotten a kitten instead.)
'''''But I'm A Cat Person''''' is the latest{{when}} [[Web Comics|web comic]] from ''[[
Not to be confused with [[But I'm a Cheerleader]]. Also has nothing to do with actual [[Cat People]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: A lot of the Beings have especially cute animal forms.
* [[Cats Are Snarkers]]: Reseda. Not so much when {{spoiler|she was known as Lily; it only began to come out after her then-Master died.}}
* [[Christmas Episode]]: [http://erinptah.com/catperson/interlude-one-cover/ The first interlude], between chapters 4 and 5, consists of holiday-themed flashbacks for several of the characters.
* [[Don't Call Me "Sir"!|Don't Call Me Master]]: Bianca to Patrick. (His refusal is one of the few stands he takes, though, so she goes along with it.)
* [[Expy]]: The full cast will bring in several AU versions of characters from the artist's [[And Shine Heaven Now
** Miranda originated in [[The Eagle of Hermes]].
** Timothy and Reseda were last seen in ''[[
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** With his real name still a mystery, Cybele's Master has been referred to as Nevada-san, based on his [[wikipedia:Nevada-chan|unfortunate]] choice of [https://web.archive.org/web/20190713035048/http://
** When the tiger-Being made its first full appearance, two readers immediately referred to it as [[Calvin and Hobbes|Hobbes]].
** Mr. Cohen (first name unrevealed) has readers calling him Jon, after another [[The Daily Show|adult male Jewish media figure]] with whom he shares design similarities.
Line 29:
* [[Hair Tropes]] and [[Hair Colors]]:
** [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Timothy, both with his natural hair and the wig he wears as Camellia.
** [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Miranda's omnipresent beads, and Bianca's [https://web.archive.org/web/20190713035123/http://
** [[Hair Color Spoiler]]: The comic is all in greyscale except for green spot-coloring...and the eyes and hair (or, in Miranda's case, hair decs) of certain characters, mostly Beings and their Masters. If you see someone with colorful hair, odds are they're going to be important.
** [[Multicolored Hair]]: Patrick, whose blonde hair includes a brown [[Skunk Stripe]].
** [[Show the Forehead]]: Sparrow in her pseudo-drag outfit; Timothy at his day job (except for one [[Idiot Hair|troublesome strand]]).
** [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Bianca, unless she's an example of [[Purple Is the New Black]]; Cybele, a [[Rose-Haired Girl]]; Bennett, whose dark hair is kind of magenta-ish. Character sketches indicate more blue and purple hair to come.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Literally, from [https://web.archive.org/web/20190713035117/http://
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Since a Being's name is chosen by its master, it doesn't tell you much about the Being's nature, but might give you a clue about the master's interests.
** The raven goes by [[Edgar Allan Poe|Poe]]. No wonder Miranda was first seen lurking in a graveyard.
Line 40:
* [[Rule 34]]: In-story. Sparrow searches the web for information about Beings, and finds, among other things, links to Being porn. Some of them quite squicky.
* [[Talking Animal]]: The animal forms of the Beings. Inconspicuous as long as they don't open their mouths (and aren't of too exotic a species).
* [[Two Girls and
* [[Unreadable Disclaimer]]: Unreadable-entire-contract, even. There's no written version of Bianca's agreement with Patrick, and the spoken version consisted entirely of "I, Bianca Washington."
** Of course given how short their memory is, [[Fridge Brilliance|they would (or may already have) forget anything longer]]
