In an [[Evil Counterpart|evil contrast]] to how much [[Heroes Love Dogs]], [[Diabolical Mastermind]]s are cat people. If they [[The Faceless|don't have a face]], they will always have a pet cat, usually some shade of white, sitting on their desk or in their lap, that they stroke as they describe their [[Evil Plan]].
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
* Etienne Galant, the [[Big Bad]] in ''The Corpse in the Waxworks'' by John Dickson Carr, is seen stroking a white persian. The book was published in 1932.
* In the ''[[Novels of the Change]]'', [[Chessmaster]] Sandra Arminger pets her Persians as an aid to concentrating on her schemes.
* She doesn't hold her cats in her hand, but [[Harry Potter/Characters|Dolores Umbridge]] from ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', probably the second most sadistic person in the series behind Voldemort himself, is seemingly addicted to cats. Her office is lined with plates and pictures depicting cats. As well, her Patronus was in the shape of a Persian cat, and it paced in front of her during the courtroom scene in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Deathly Hallows]]'' to protect her from the dementors. Professor McGonagall, a good character in the same series, also has a cat Patronus and can transform into a cat (an ordinary tabby rather than something fluffy and expensive).
** This evenhandedness also extends to actual cats. The two cats with actual camera time are Mrs. Norris and Crookshanks, who are respectively kept by Mr. Filch (the caretaker, an entirely unsympathetic person and supporter of Umbridge when she was at Hogwarts) and Hermione (the heroine).
* Averted in ''[[The Dresden Files]]'': Harry Dresden lives with a gigantic grey cat named "Mister," whom he (Harry) rescued from a dumpster as a kitten.
