'''Related Tropes'''

* Cat-based [[Beast Folk]] can also have actual fur and cat noses, which catgirls don't have.

* Catgirls may also be an [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]], particularly in Western [[Superhero]] fiction.

* Not to be confused with the ''[[Cat People (film)|Cat People]]'' films, the ''[[Cat Person]]'' series of Internet shorts or [[Feline Female]] (about female cat, male dog pairings).

* Compare [[Cute Monster Girl]].

'''Special Note - Being female and feline is not sufficient to qualify for this trope. Do not add an example here without first making sure that it doesn't belong under another trope instead.'''

 

 

Far too many anime series to list here. [[wikipedia:List of catgirls|Wikipedia]] (seriously) has a decent, but still incomplete list.

 

* The series ''Geobreeders'' has an entire race of these that mess with electronic equipment and walk through walls. Needless to say, they are seen as bad.

** Maya seems to be the only one who isn't evil, but she can't exactly talk either.

* Tsukiyomi Ikuto from ''[[Shugo Chara]]'' has a catboy as his guardian chara, and therefore being a catboy represents his inner would-be self. Sometimes Ikuto himself has cat ears just like his chara as part of his Chara Change.

* Kyouka from ''[[Kyouran Kazoku Nikki]]'', a [[Genki Girl|hyperactive]] [[Older Than They Look|young-looking]] catgirl who was worshiped as a goddess, and views herself as such. She's the ''mother figure'' in the family.

** Mia Ikumi's earlier one-shot manga, ''Tokyo Black Cat Girl'', from which TMM was supposedly derived, also featured a magical catgirl as the protagonist.

* Himari from ''[[Omamori Himari]]'' is a [[Samurai]] catgirl [[Magical Girlfriend]]. She speaks in an old-time dialect. Notable is one scene where she uses her cat features while at work in a [[Maid Cafe]] to her advantage - everyone thinks it's just a costume. However, Yuuto's allergic to cats, so that's slightly problematic for her.

* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' has Shader, a cat-''demon''. She still looks basically like a catgirl, however, only with odd markings on her face and horns on her head.

* Aisha ClanClan from ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' is a C'tarl-C'tarl, a race of gluttonous adrenaline-filled cat-people with insane invulnerability levels. Aisha can also transform into a huge white tiger when she's at full power.

** If [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|sufficiently pressed]], Ranma can often turn into an [[Berserk Button|entirely different]] sort of [[Unstoppable Rage|catboy]].

** [[Gender Bender|Ranma's]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|female form]] looks like a Cat Girl in some fanservicey [http://www.anymanga.com/ranma/005/004/001/ official art].

* Natsuki Sasaehara, the heroine of ''[[Hyper Police]]''. The rest of the main cast are a [[Kitsune]] and two [[Werewolves]].

* Loki/Leo from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' is another male example, though he only has the ears, which are themselves barely noticeable.

* ''[[Dog Days]]'', featuring a race of cat-person and [[Boobs of Steel|an overly busted and very strong cat queen]] as [[Friendly Enemies]] of a dog-person race.

* ''[[Nekogami Yaoyorozu]]'' has Mayu and Sasana, who are cat gods.

* King Wohl, Princess Lione, and Prince Tio from the Flame Kingdom in ''[[Fushigiboshi no Futagohime]]'' are lion-based [[Nekomimi]].

* The Bakeneko clan of [[Youkai]] in ''[[Nurarihyon no Mago]]'' look like Cat Boys with ears and tails.

 

* Something of a homage, the ''[[Genshiken]]'' club members try to persuade Saki to wear a set of cat-ears, despite her violent opposition and retaliation.

* Parodied in ''[[Tsukuyomi Moon Phase]]'': Hazuki is a vampire, but Kouhei's grandpa asked her to wear a pair of cat ears.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': {{spoiler|The Anti-Spiral traps the Gurren-dan in a fantasy world, in which Viral's wife has cat ears.}}

* Princess [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Sera]] in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' anime movie.

* [[Ninin ga Shinobuden]] has Shinobu dressing up as a cat girl for Kaede's school festival.

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' has a strip dealing with a festival in memory for the cats killed because they were thought to be evil. This becomes an opportunity to show several characters with cat ears, male or female.

** France also wears a pair of cat ears during the Christmas strips. He lampshades them when he's having what he thinks are his last thoughts {{spoiler|after facing the wrong end of Switzerland's gun}}.

** Hayate is also forced into one early on, Allowing him to be raped by the tiger. Oh yeah, the head butler also tries a move. Hayate is on the absolute verge of tears. At least it's better than the sailor suit..oh wait...no it's not...

** As does ''[[Kazumi Magica]]'''s Satomi.

* Kana of ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' is not a real cat girl, but she has a [[Cat Smile]], a [[Cute Little Fang]], a Nya~ [[Verbal Tic]], and those [[Sprouting Ears]] of hers pop up more often than not.

 

* ''Neconoclasm'' is a manga about catgirls with a nicely-sized online preview, and thus provides a very nice example.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' includes both cat-eared costumes and real catgirls. Most costume examples are listed under [[Cat Eared Hood]], however two characters strongly associated with cats are:

** Koyomi, one of Fate's Ministrae, whose ears and tail are the genuine article. She even transforms into a were-cat-beast-thing during the second fight against Jack Rakan.

** Chachamaru, a [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]], has cat ears as part of her cat themed pactio outfit. Her artifact is also a {{spoiler|Kitty Cat [[Kill Sat]].}}

* Meow in ''[[Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran]]'' has very fetching cat-like moves when she fights.

* Merle, Nariya and Eriya from ''[[The Vision of Escaflowne|Vision of Escaflowne]]''.

* Shadow Panther, Misaki/Hikaru's first opponent in ''[[Angelic Layer]]''.

** So is Mao.

* Lampshaded in ''Maria+Holic'' by the Dorm Leader. The characters discuss how her ears "aren't fake" and can "actually move", and at one point, the protagonist finds a cat-ear headband in the garden, leading them to speculate if the catgirl is actually real.

* ''[[Bleach]]'':

* While cat ears have yet to manifest, [[Gunnm|Battle Angel Alita's]] titular character's new Imaginos 2.0 body (and accompanying outfit) comes with a cat tail...which she then proceeds to [[Badass|knock out three different characters at once with.]]

* Momose from ''[[Bloody Cross]]'' is a cat demon. Aside from her tail she looks otherwise human.

 

* The Cat was once a costumed heroine who used a powered costume, but a ritual was performed on her, transforming her into the werecat Tigra. She went on to join [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]], eventually giving her old costume to Patsy Walker, who took the name Hellcat. There's a tug-of-war between her human and feline instincts and which has the upper hand tends to depend on the writer. One day she's able to fly interstellar spacecraft, the next she's chasing and eating mice and unable to speak (except in cat noises.)

* ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' has faced four villains called Cheetah: Two pre-Crisis costumers and two [[Post-Crisis]] catgirls. The first catgirl, Barbara Ann Minerva, is the current and best-known Cheetah and the basis for the animated version. (The other catgirl was her successor, and male. Barbara killed him.)

* Marvel has a ''catboy'', [[The Inhumans]] Talon, from Marvel's [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] spin-off ''Guardians of the Galaxy''. Who's also a sorcerer, a [[Keet]].

* Male example: Tom, the son of the superhero Wildcat of DC Comics' [[Justice Society of America|JSA]], is a catboy.

* ''[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]]'' has Prince Thun's race of Lion Men; although, as their name implies, it's normally the males who appear in the comic.

* Most residents at [[Helios Eclipse|The Land Of The Beasts]].

* ''[[Blacksad]]'' does this with women in general, making them look more human than the men. It should be noted that the women only barely qualify, being somewhat closer to the [[Beast Man]] look in some ways, and the male cats do not qualify but are an example of [[Petting Zoo People]].

 

* Greer Grant Nelson originally used a custom in her identity as The Cat, The Cat was upgraded to Tigra, and the costume was given to Patsy Walker, who took the name Hellcat. Hellcat crops up now and then, sometimes as an actual catgirl due to the fact that she was once the wife of the Son of Satan.

* [[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]] and [[Secret Six|Catman]] (Thomas Blake).

* ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' villain Cheshire is named for a type of cat, but her costume's only cat-themed in the [[Animated Adaptation]].

* Animated ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' also gives Batman villain Killer Moth a daughter named Kitten who briefly took on an anime-like catgirl form and meowed when asked to clarify her name. Of course, given the show's love of sight gags, there's no being sure if this was seriously meant to be a superpower of hers. Animated Starfire was also turned into a cat briefly.

* Carrie Kelly in ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'' is ''named'' Catgirl.

* British superheroine The Cat Girl has a magical cat costume that gives her superhuman abilities.

* [[Ms. Fanservice|Ocelotina]] in ''[[Empowered]]''

 

== Film ==

* In the 90's version of ''Dr. Moreau'' with Marlon Brando, his daughter played by [[Fairuza Balk]] is transformed into a literal cat girl.

** The previous adaptation, ''[[Island Of Lost Souls]]'', had introduced a puma-woman (with minimal feline traits) to the Moreau story decades earlier.

* Somewhat subverted in the independent short ''[[Pat Gets A Cat]]'': the protagonist imagines a human girl behaving like a cat, but without the ears, tail or most common traits of the garden-variety catgirl.

* The [[Movie Bonus Song]] "Pet Me, Poppa" in ''[[Guys and Dolls]]''.

 

== Literature ==

* Greebo's human form in the ''[[Discworld]]'' books is very male, ruggedly handsome, and vaguely feline.

** subverted in that the feline traits he shows are much more like a real cat than usual; at one point he drinks milk from a bowl and tries to curl up in a warm place, and he is persuaded into quite a strenuous nights' work on the promise of a kipper

* Kitten in ''[[Red Handed]]'' has mannerisms close to a cat, even though she is an alien.

* The titular character in the ''[[Cat Kid]]'' series by Brian James is a girl who is half-kid, half-cat.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger]]'' featured a monster-of-the-week based on the [[Youkai|Bakeneko]].

 

== Music ==

** Note that the title is a reference to a fairly famous Japanese novel that is almost totally unknown outside of its native country.

* The cover of [[Ali Project]]'s ''[http://www.jpopasia.com/img/album-covers/1/8357-lavitaromantica-un44.jpg La Vida Romantica]'' shows Arika as a leopard girl.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Cat people are also one of the "chimeras" in ''[[GURPS]] Technomancer''. They look something like the Cat-Nuns in ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Cat halflings however, resemble conventional catgirls.

* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' has catgirls/catboys thanks to a spike in the mana levels when Halley's Comet swung around, triggering what became known as Sudden Unexplained Recessive Genetic Expression, or SURGE. Only a small percentage of the SURGE-affected population became actual cat-people, though - the majority of people are more [[Furry Fandom|drastically affected]].

** Actually SURGE began with the Sixth World, when elves and dwarves first appeared. The Halley's Comet just caused a sudden and significant raise in magic level that triggered another wave of transformations (as it happened with orcs and trolls a few decades earlier) in humans. This time it was pretty random, and ranged from simple cosmetic changes, to serious cthulhu-esque monstrosities. These metahumans are known commonly as "changelings". You can find the catgirl stuff in the 'Runner's Companion'. Also, the SR level of cosmetic surgery allows easy and not-so-expensive modifications, so if you want to, you can be a catgirl.

** Averted by Striper, who's likely to eat your face if you even ''think'' of her as this trope.

** Those wanting to play catpeople in the ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' have other options: Changelings of the Beast seeming who have feline characteristics, cat Skinchangers, the Bastet Changing Breeds, and the werecats of the Colony.

* The Lion Fey from ''[[Exalted]]''. Basically Fair Folk with the Assumption of Bestial Visage Charm, who've decided to take leonine form.

** Various Lunar Exalted also display catgirl traits, particularly Cult of the Illuminated [[Kid Sidekick]] Faithful Pia.

* The ''Manhunter'' game has the Kirn race, who are cat-like humanoid aliens. The females are depicted as catgirls.

 

== Theater ==

* ''[[Cats]]'' costumes resemble this, though the characters they are playing actually fall under [[Nearly-Normal Animal]].

 

== Toys ==

* Yes, you read that right. A Japanese (naturally) invention, [http://neurowear.com/ Neurowear] are testing artificial, brain-wave controlled cat ears. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prd2iUf9oAk Here] is a demonstration video.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Xiao from the first ''[[Dark Cloud]]'' game is an interesting case. She starts out as a regular stray cat found in one of the game's dungeons, and an item used to advance later on turns her into a human, and also the first ally in your party. In ''[[Dark Cloud]] 2'', a [[Cat Eared Headband|cat-girl costume]] can be acquired for the female main character

* Additional video game example: The Mithra from ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' are an entire ''race'' of catgirls.

** Adelle from ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'' has many traits of a cat, she even got her nickname ''Adelle the Cat''.

** In ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'', the Shamans have cat ears. So does Krile's White Mage outfit in ''[[Final Fantasy V]]''.

* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Path of Radiance'', the humanoid forms of the had the cat, tiger and lion Laguz look like [[Little Bit Beastly]] humans with cat ears and tails.

* Chen and Rin Kaenbyou from the ''[[Touhou]]'' games.

** There's also Shou Toramaru, who is a ''tiger'' [[Youkai]] although she doesn't have the ears and tail except in some fanart.

* Katt from ''[[Breath of Fire]] II'' is half-woman, half-tiger, and [[Fan Service|half naked]].

** Lin from ''[[Breath of Fire]] V'' is also a catgirl, but never removes her ear-covering headgear in the game itself, though her tail is still quite evident - a rare case of Concept Art Dang It.

** The series also has a couple of catguys (definitely not boys) with Rei from III (though he started the game as a fit young catshounen) and Cray from IV. All the examples of catpeople from this series are all from each of their respective game's version of the Woren tribe.

*** The in game dictionary in ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'' explains Leon's presence. Expellians are actually a [[Half-Human Hybrid|hybrid race]] descended from both [[Human Aliens|humans]] and fellpool that were native to Expel. Leon is a genetic throwback that only appears when both parents have the same recessive gene on the twelfth chromosome.

** Let's not forget Noel from the same game, a Nedian who's also a cat-man. And the astute will notice his name is "Leon" backwards.

** Disgaea 3 and 4 take this even further: Not only do they have the previously-mentioned Nekomata, thieves and Beastmasters, but they also have Catsabers, a type of monster that looks like a little kid wearing a cat costume.

*** Disgaea 2 Dark Hero Days has Death Sabers which are more demonic looking varation. They appear in Disgaea 4 as DLC.

* The ''[[Lunar]]'' RPG series features "beastmen" as a race. They have pointed ears, ''[[Cute Little Fangs]]'' and a lot of hair. Curiously, they intermingle freely with humans rather than living separately. Some of the playable characters were Beastmen.

* ''[[Atelier Iris]]'' also has Norn, a catgirl whose catlike behavior (but oddly enough, not her cat features) baffles people. Though one (female) NPC does becomes obsessed with touching her ears(!). It is eventually revealed that {{spoiler|Norn is really a cat turned into human form by a witch. Whether this means a normal cat or a [[Were Cat]] isn't clear; a [[Were Cat]] NPC thinks she's one of them, though.)}}

** Also Arcueid, from the same series, who isn't a cat girl but occasionally grows cat ears in the same fashion as Hikaru from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''. There's also a super-deformed version, Neco-Arc. Even villain Nrvnqsr Chaos gets a super-deformed cat version of himself, Neco Arc Chaos, in the later ''[[Melty Blood]]'' games.

* Shanoa from ''[[Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia]]'' can transform into a catgirl with a particular glyph. In addition to giving her a new set of attacks, it also allows her to talk to the various cats that she rescues.

** Supporting cast member Kokonoe is another catgirl, this time quite visibly modeled after the above-mentioned nekomata, having the trademark split tail, and [[Mad Scientist|some rather... interesting hobbies.]]

* The 4 catgirls from ''[[Neko Kawaigari]]''.

* The [[H-game]] ''Mina De Nyan Nyan''.

* The Ecaflips in ''[[Dofus]]'' and ''[[Wakfu]]'' are cat people.

* Coyori from ''[[Battle Fantasia]]'' is a cat who was changed into a human by a good witch. She has the tail but not the ears.

* In [[Vocaloid]] game ''Hatsune Miku - Project Diva 2nd'', one of KAITO's wardrobe name is "Neko Cyber" (Cyber Neko), which is.

* Cammy from ''[[Street Fighter]]'' has a full body catsuit complete with ears and tail as a downloadable alternate outfit for ''Super [[Street Fighter IV]]''.

* Miyu the managraphic artist from ''[[Trinity Universe (video game)|Trinity Universe]]''.

* Nekomata are a recurring demon/Persona/whatever in the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' series.

* In ''[[Hellsinker]]'' we have the human form of {{spoiler|Lost Property 771}}.

** Then there is also Millionlives and Ninelives in the Shrine of Farewell.

* Ms. Fortune from ''[[Skullgirls]]''.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* ''[[Caribbean Blue]]'' on katbox.net has several main character that are this trope or will assume from time to time, depending how the story goes, also as part of a series of plot points this trope is believed to identify the island's guardian

* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' features a ''tough cat man'': [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-08-28 Elliot himself], during the Sister arc, who turns into a were-cat to return to Moperville.

** Catalina Bobcat. who "[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-11-16 seems just a tail short from being a cat-girl]" without shapeshifting, magic or even a costume.

** Grace has half-cat form acquired in the mini-arc named [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-05-09 Catnip] and once assumed it [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-02-14 later]. Which at least gave us the immortal line.

* ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' has anthropomorphic characters, including one cat-boy. Drawn in Sonic-style artwork (the story however is not for children), the characters are humanoid animals, not just humans with animal ears and tails, as they all belong to the same race. However, they identify their ''species'' as "fox" or "penguin" or even "zebra" according to their appearance.

* Mzzkiti from ''Freighter Tails'' and ''Cross Time Cafe''.

** Repeatedly respawning just to die again seconds later can be more of a curse than a blessing, especially when he pisses off the Elf.

* The jury's still out on whether or not Gina from ''[[Outside Interference]]'' is a cat. Although she has cat-like ears and features, she lacks any visible tail, in a setting where all the other [[Anthro]] characters have them.

{{quote|''[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01192004.shtml A message from Something Positive]''': Please, for love of all that is decent, {{smallcaps|Spay/Neuter Your Catgirl}}.}}

* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' goes for the furrier side of catgirls, although technically Adharia's the only true catgirl (Jigsaw's a marsupial, but because of her otherwise feline features, ends up being the definitive catgirl for the series - although she does end up being called a rat sometimes thanks to her large ears.)

* Felicity from ''[[The Dreamland Chronicles]]''.

* Anya from ''[[Tsunami Channel|Experimental Comic Kotone]]''. In a case of questionable biology, her sister Lisa is a fox-girl.

* Kathleen "Kat" Vance of ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]''. And her good friend Vanity Thorn (Her ''real'' name... [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=399 poor girl]).

* ''[[Flaky Pastry]]'' has [http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=126 Marelle] as a lead character, who [http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=127 hates being called a Catgirl]. Quite where she fits into the trope is quite a good question since she is basically human, wears clothes and has no tail, but DOES have real cat-style ears, a somewhat flattened nose and a dark skin colour which is presumably skin, although this isn't made clear. She certainly has a mop of off-white hair styled in human fashion.

* ''[[Linburger]]'' calls them Mirrakae. They have little trouble finding one night stands as they seem to be fetishized in universe. Long term relationships are trickier, especially for homosexuals. They're a [[Dying Race]] for whatever reason, so they shun homosexuals of their kind, since they need as many breeders as possible.

* [[Harkovast]] features Darsai women who are literal cat girls.

* Teeko from ''[[Chirault]]''. The cat-person species is known as Kyrions, and they're considered a type of [[Our Demons Are Different|demon]].

* Kit Ballard in ''[[Blade Kitten]]''.

* Zii cosplaying as Nekomimi-chan in ''[[Ménage à 3]]''

* Lillith in [[Dreamkeepers]].

* ''[[Okashina Okashi]]'' features cat people, including a pair of cat boys [[Coitus Uninterruptus|who are often found engaging in certain activities]].

* Among the other [[Reality Warper|reality warping]] abilities fangirls have in ''[[And Shine Heaven Now]]'', they've turned objects of their affection into a cat-person twice: [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20080731.html Alucard], and [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20090705.html Rip].

* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' When Tarquin's former party and now co-conspirators are revealed, one of them seems to be a Cat Girl.

* ''[[Fiyora Nya]]'' has Ayako, Sierra, and catboys Ryuuko and Ichirou.

* Katt o' Nine Tails in ''[[Spinnerette]]'', a [[Canada, Eh?|French Canadian]] superheroine who, from what little we've heard so far, gained her powers from a magical cat. Unusually for this character type, Katt has ([[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|as her name suggests]]) no less than nine fully prehensile tails. She's also apparently a fantastic masseuse.

* Most of the main characters in [[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]].

* ''[[The Adventures of Wiglaf and Mordred]]'' - Herschell.

* [[Zokusho Comics]]: Asuka, the CEO of Kodate Corporation is a catgirl. She's somewhat unusual in that so far she hasn't shown any of the traditional traits of a cat girl. She seems to be a very astute business woman who happens to have cat ears.

* Siat Wildstar of erotic fantasy webcomic ''Eromugen''.

 

== Web Original ==

* ''[[Draw With Me]]'', the characters are drawn like this.

** The girl is one, and the boy seems to be some sort of canine.

* "Kittymorphs" are one of the first alternate player character races you can unlock in [[Improbable Island]].

* The whole point of ''[[Pokegirls]]''.

* Reya Everheart from ''[[Arcana Magi]]''.

* Fauna of [[DC Nation]] defaults to a felinoid form during a battle. A cat is simply, pound for pound, one of the most effective land predators on the planet, making it a rather useful fallback for a fight.

* Suzi, Kai, and Maliko in ''[[Tales of MU]]'', the 'companions' of the overbearing foxgirl Sooni. These 'nekoyokai' (or just 'nekos') are rather more cat-like than most cat girls, having all-over fur and cat-like eyes, unlike the rather more human-like Sooni.

 

== Western Animation ==

* Angel in the underrated early-80's animated film ''Rock and Rule'' is clearly a biological cat-woman.

* Variation: in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', Odd Della Robia's virtual form on Lyoko is a Cat Boy, albeit one with non-retractable claws and the ability to fire "laser arrows" from his forearms.

** There is actually yaoi fan-art of him and ulrich doing...things with him in lyoko "cat-boy" form.

* The new ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]'' series features a race of alien humanoid cats called Catatonians- the member of this species that fits this trope is.. [[Cats Are Mean|every female Catatonian ever to appear on the show]].

* Parodied in the ''[[Stroker and Hoop]]'' episode "XXX Wife (a.k.a. Stroke Her and Boob)"; when the pornographers attempt to [[Lego Genetics|splice feline DNA]] into two [[The Ditz|ditzy]] co-eds to cash in on the [[Furry Fandom|Furry]] market, they wind up with insane mutant catgirls that [[I'm a Humanitarian|eat human flesh]].

* [[Chaotic|Intress, Attacat, and Tangath Toborn]] seems to be part of a race of cat people that are part of the Overworld tribe.

** Tangath Toborn seems to have performed a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. However with the current season's trips through time, the possibilities for new cat characters are there.

* An episode from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'' had Selena Kyle, aka Catwoman, kidnapped by a Dr. Moreau wannabe who turned her into...you get the picture. It should also be noted that the episode also had a cat-man (man-cat?) who liked how he was and wanted Selena to stay.

** Another episode, ''[[The Demon]] Within'', had Klarion the Witch Boy's cat, Teekl, transform into a cat girl to fight Batman and [[Etrigan]]. She also has this ability in the comics.

* Sue Ellen Armstrong and Jenna Morgan from ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]''.

* The titular characters of ''[[Josie and the Pussy Cats]]'' are examples of costume wearing cat girls.
