Cute Kitten: Difference between revisions

Line 60:

* Sphinx, the cute little kitty Index smuggled home in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''. She was so taken by his cuteness she'd named him shortly after she saw him.

** Also, MISAKA. Aw, she's taking care of the kitty and {{spoiler|oh shit [[Mood Whiplash|Accelerator just ruptured all her veins by making her blood flow backwards]].}}

* Mikoto Minagi from ''[[~~Mai~~-HiME]]'' has two pet cats that follow her around.

* Mikoto Minagi from ''[[My-HiME]]'' has two pet cats that follow her around.

** Mikoto from ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', on the other hand, ''is'' a cat. {{spoiler|Well, one of the Mikotos is, anyway. The other one is a cat-themed god with the sleeping habits of a cat.}}

* When [[Tokyo Mew Mew|Ichigo Momomiya]] gets excited, the extreme result is turning into an adorable black kitten.

Line 77:

** Meanwhile, the [[Alternate Continuity]] series ''Negima!?'' includes a kitty character in the form of Shichimi. While the cat may be annoying at times (although not as annoying as Motsu), Shichimi also has her share of cute moments (especially when said moments involve Nodoka in some way).

* ''[[The Cat Returns]]'' exists solely because of this trope. It's about a girl who's taken to the magical world of cute, talking kitties and then herself begins to transform into a cute, talking kitty.

* He doesn't look much like one, but [[Doraemon]] is a robot cat. He had cat ears once upon a time, but they were chewed off by a mouse when he was sleeping. Poor guy is now [[Eek! a Mouse!|terrified of them]]. His sister Doremi invokes this trope full force.

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' stars Luna, Artemis, and in later seasons, their [[Kid From the Future|Kitten From The Future]] Diana.

* No wonder why ''[[Lucky Star]]'' has a kitty mascot, who turns out to be Kagami Yoshimizu's [[Author Avatar]]. The character is sometimes referred to as Nyamo.

Line 194:

* Orange Kitten and Periwinkle of ''[[Blue's Clues]]'' are of the [[Talking Animal]] variety.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm6x91utqJo Mimsie], the adorable kitten in the MTM Enterprises [[Vanity Plate]].

** And if the [http://home.vicnet.net.au/~kwgow/crossovers.html Jimmie Westphall Snow Globe] didn't piss off the audience in the final episode of ''[[St Elsewhere]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fce6tlwwjQo the end credits certainly did]. Ironically, the poor kitty really did pass away the same year.

Ironically, the poor kitty really did pass away the same year.

* ''[[Animal Planet]]'' uses footage of kittens at play as the "half-time show" for its annual ''[[Puppy Bowl]]''.

* Data's cat, Spot, in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''. Possible subversion swinging back towards a straight play when Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome causes her to de-evolve into an iguana and then have a litter of perfectly normal kittens.

Line 200:

* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' starts when Lister doesn't want to give up on his cat.

** In an alternate universe, Kochanski discovered Lister's kitten when he smuggled it on board, and its [[Puppy Dog Eyes|Kitten Eyes]] convinced her not to disintegrate it.

* ''Operation Kitten Calender'' on [[VH-1]] was an extreme example of this trope. It's basically a spot on parody of ''[[The Apprentice]]'' except people are competing to make the best kitten calender, not work for Donald Trump.

* [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]: Crow had a tendency to exclaim "Kitties!" with delight whenever a kitten showed up in a movie...or any kind of cat...or, well, pretty much any animal at all, especially if it happened to be deadly.

* ''[[The Chaser's War on Everything]]: The Hamster Wheel'''s "[[Australian Politics]], as told through [[YouTube]] videos of cats" segments play on this.

Line 217:

* Swords and Scorcery Creature Collection - Moon cats. Magical kitties that appear after moonrise. Those who encounter them get good luck afterwards. Although sought by mages believing them to hold access to powerful magical energy, there are no known instances of them being captured. The rare times a moon cat has been caught, it vanished by sunrise.

* In ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~]]'', The World Eaters, despite being [[Blood Knight|blood knights]] in the service of Khorne, are quite fond of khittens.

* In ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', The World Eaters, despite being [[Blood Knight|blood knights]] in the service of Khorne, are quite fond of khittens.

** It's something of a [[Running Gag]] among the fandom that the World Eaters are less psychotic in their downtime. [[Memetic Mutation|And that Kharn is a hell of a guy.]]

** A fanwiki for it, Lexicanum, [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cat has an entry for cats in the fourth-first millenium]. An example is an Astrophat's pet cat, who is described as being killed along with the entire planet's population after the planet it lived on was hit by [[Earthshattering Kaboom|Exterminatus]].

Line 253:

* ''[[Monster Hunter]]'': Your character can interact with the simply adorable [http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Felyne Felyne], a race of cat people. Keeping one as a partner has beneficial effects such as decreasing damage taken, enhancing the benefits of food consumed, reducing field tool breakage, affecting the size of your bombs, improve cooking results, negating the intimidation effects of some monsters, and much more. But watch out for the [http://monsterhunter.neoseeker.com/wiki/Melynx Melynx]; behind their cuddly appearance lies master thieves and pickpockets.

* You can easily buy kitten 'companions' (pets) in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', provided you have enough gold.

* During one ''[[~~Runescape~~]]'' quest, [[Relax-O-Vision|certain gruesome scenes (such as a brain transplant) are censored with animations of kittens performing adorable actions such as playing with yarn or wearing pirate outfits]].

* During one ''[[RuneScape]]'' quest, [[Relax-O-Vision|certain gruesome scenes (such as a brain transplant) are censored with animations of kittens performing adorable actions such as playing with yarn or wearing pirate outfits]].

* Oh so subverted in ''[[Dragon Age]]'' ''Origins'' "The Stone Prisoner" DLC. Kitties aren't nearly as cute {{spoiler|when possessed by demons}}.

** Played straight in ''Awakening''. You can give Anders a cute little kitten that he will immediately gush over, naming it "Ser Pounce-a-lot". Anders' love of cats has a tragically hilarious backstory: {{spoiler|the only fond memories he had of his time in the Circle Tower were the times he played with a cat that lived in the Tower named Mr. Wiggums. Sadly, Mr. Wiggums somehow became possessed by a Rage Demon and had to be put down -- but not before Mr. Wiggums ''killed three Templars by himself''.}} Also, sadly Anders had to give up Ser Pounce-A-Lot after he nearly gotten him killed during an expedition to the Deep Roads (though he still has a deep love for cats).

Line 277:

* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' has Mr. Scruffy. In a stick figure comic, his presence never fails to add a sense of levity to the scene.

* The Evil from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' alternate between this and [[Cats Are Mean]]. Give them their daily milk, and they're [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=021123 the cutest little things around]. Don't give them their milk, and they'll shred you into tiny little gory pieces.

* Mike is killed and one of their own is missing. What will make the [[~~College Roomies from Hell~~]]'s day better? [http://crfh.net/d/20080416.html This.]

* Mike is killed and one of their own is missing. What will make the [[CRFH]]'s day better? [http://crfh.net/d/20080416.html This.]

* Random kitties go [http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-Finale-6-5-Epilogue-46688187 here.]

* ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'': "[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000032.html Pose with a little white cat because] SHIT JUST GOT CUTE."

Line 301:

* Probably one of the reasons [[LOLcats]] is so popular.

** We haz our own [http://www.lolcatbible.com bible] nao.

* [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] by the fan encyclopedic wiki of ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~]]'', Lexicanum - the mentions of the species of [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cat cats] existing in [[Warhammer ~~40000~~]] in its article is promptly followed up with the mentions of a pet cat of an astropath, who was apparently killed by the [[Apocalypse Now|Exterminatus]] of the planet it was on. [[Grimdark]].
