Line 8:
Why do bad guys like cats? Maybe because [[Cats Are Mean]] -- [[Predators Are Mean|they kill birds and mice, just so they can offer you the corpse]]. Cats are lap-sized and perfect to pet while scheming. Or maybe it's because cats also (reputedly) believe they are entitled to be worshipped and revered by humans, or deserve to [[Take Over the World]] themselves. Dogs are faithful and loyal, but cats are fickle with a superiority complex. Villains and cats just fit. It's the perfect accessory for a [[Card-Carrying Villain]].
The [[Big Bad]]'s '''Right-Hand-Cat''' will have varying degrees of a personality depending on the context of the series. Some will display sentient facial expressions and even an evil laugh, showing a morality in sync with their master's. Some just sit there, emotionless, yawning and purring like any other ordinary pet. Even in animation, the cat will probably never speak, but it will almost always have a name.
This may stem from the tradition that [[All Witches Have Cats]] and often use cats as their [[familiar]]s. See [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]] for examples when a character simply likes having a cat around.
