''But I'm A Cat Person'' is the latest{{when}} [[Web Comics|web comic]] from ''[[And Shine Heaven Now]]'' creator Erin Ptah. The official description from [https://web.archive.org/web/20131105123856/http://erinptah.com/catperson/ the website] is "what happens when you take a heap of shounen-power-up and mahou-shoujo tropes, dump them all in a blender, and then [[Subverted Trope|throw the blender away and make a sandwich instead]]."
 
Not to be confused with [[But I'm a Cheerleader]]. Also has nothing to do with actual [[Cat People]].
Line 21:
** Timothy and Reseda were last seen in ''[[And Shine Heaven Now]]''.
* [[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://erinptahwww.bicatperson.com/catpersoncomic/chapter-two-page-22/ sweatshirt].
** When the tiger-Being made its first full appearance, two readers immediately referred to it as [[Calvin and Hobbes|Hobbes]].

Line 28:
* [[Hair Tropes]] and [[Hair Colors]]:
** [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Timothy, both with his natural hair and the wig he wears as Camellia.

** [[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://erinptahwww.bicatperson.com/catpersoncomic/chapter-one-17/?p=108 the dog's point of view].
* [[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.
