Cute Kitten: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Fluttershy''': I think this widdle puddy tat has your name written all over it! Yes he does...<br />

'''Kitten''': Mew! ''*nuzzles Rainbow Dash and generally looks adorable*''<br />

 

... Admit it, how long did you spend looking at the picture to the right before you started reading this article? Looking at the picture with automatic Bambi eyes setting in, with brain geared to [[Cuteness Proximity|"Such wee small biddy kitties?]] [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Whosa cute kitty? Sleepy kitty."]]

* Tailmon from ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' and ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]''... which makes it even funnier when [[Lightning Bruiser|she kicks your ass]].

* Nya from ''[[Zatch Bell]]''. Sadly, this is a filler Mamodo.

** Additionally, Chiyo in a cat costume in Sakaki's imagination. Awwwww!

** And if that weren't enough for you, Sakaki likes to fawn over Nekokoneko ("neko" meaning "cat", and "koneko" meaning "kitten"), a pair of white cats with [[Blank White Eyes]] (more accurately, a kitten [[Head Pet|resting on top of a cat's head]]).

** In another omake even Scar loves them, then things got weird...

* ''[[Sketchbook]]''. Sora would love to take one of the strays as her own.

** [[Mix-and-Match Critters|Not technically a cat]], but close enough.

*** Even better. She combines the cuteness of kittens with the cutness of bunnies, for a massive cuteness overload.

* Not only can Kyo from ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' turn into a cat when hugged by a girl, but he even attracts cats to him, like a pied piper of cute. He's just chilling in class, minding his own business, when [[Offscreen Teleportation|BAM!]] a dozen cats are suddenly draped all over him.

** We can't forget Kisa, can we? She turns into a tiger. An ''adorable'' pint-sized baby tiger (who still has quite a bite, though. Tohru knows that well)

** In the English dub, he's voiced by Phil Hartman, so you get cute ''and'' [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkiness]].

*** Why did I just go "Aawwww!" at ''that?''

* [[Those Two Guys|Suzuka's]] house in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' is filled with lots and lots of cute kitties, including one that got its wish to become a [[Mega Neko|bigger kitty]].

* In the twelfth episode of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', Giroro takes a liking to a white kitten he finds in the rain (the [[FUNimation]] dub gives her a name -- Miss Furbottom). She goes on to become a recurring character.

* 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]].}}

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

* Shamisen in ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' series, owned by Kyon's family after participating in the movie the SOS Brigade made. Unusually, it's a male calico. A [[Contemplate Our Navels|talking, philosophical]] male calico.

** 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.

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

* Yoruichi from ''[[Bleach]]'' has the ability to turn into a black cat, which for some reason makes [[Viewer Gender Confusion|her voice sound male]]. Rather amusingly though, one of Yoruichi's first appearances consists of Urahara [[Lampshade Hanging|perhaps succumbing to this trope]], and tossing her up and down in the air in a playful manner, while saying [[Cuteness Proximity|something nonsensical]].

{{quote| Urahara: Upsy daisy! Upsy daisy! - tossing Yoruichi up and down -}}

* [[Prince of Tennis]] Ryoma's adorable cat Karupin exists to show that he's [[Sugar and Ice Personality|not a complete]] [[Jerkass]].

** Heck, the cat had a ''whole'' episode dedicated to him and his cute. It's a mix of [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] from the start to the end.

* Would you believe this trope is used in ''[[Battle Royale]]''? The island the students fight on seems to have a lot of kittens. Shuya and Noriko get a literal [[Cat Scare]] moment, a kitten is cruelly killed by a maddened student and there is a whole [[Flash Back]] sequence about one guy who took to his class a very young kitten. All those kittens are realistically drawn.

* In ''[[Nyan Koi]]'', the main character Junpei, has been cursed to understand cats which he has an allergy to. To cure the curse (which will turn him into a cat over time), he has to grant 100 wishes to the cats he meets. Meanwhile, he's surrounded by a growing harem who likes cats.

* Even ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is cuter with kittens, until [[Evil Albino|Kaworu]] murders them with his bare hands.

* Piro in ''[[Kanon]]''. Nayuki [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIZKNsaANU8 loves the little guy.]

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckJc2qazNkU Pa-pa-pa-pa] [[Hanamaru Kindergarten|Panda Neko!]] Hinagiku is also playing with a kitty in the eighth ending.

* Episode 21 of ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'', in which Godai has to look after a cat called Kyoko.

* Blair in ''[[Soul Eater]]''. [[World of Badass|True to the series form]], she actually kicks a lot of ass as a magical kitten!

* ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'' got a short film sequel, ''Mei and the Kittenbus'', that plays exclusively in the Studio Ghibli museum. And if anything on earth is cuter than a Catbus, it's a Kittenbus.

* In Umibozu's case of ''[[City Hunter]]'' fame, it would rather be "Everything's ''Worse'' With Cute Kitten". He has a debilitating fear of cats, particulary if they're [[Tastes Like Diabetes|adorably cute kittens]]. This is mainly used for [[Hilarity Ensues]] purposes, but it also lead to a few serious scenes, such as, in one story, one of Umibozu's worst enemies knowing this weakness, and cornering him with it (but is ultimately [[Big Damn Heroes|saved by Ryo]], [[Mood Whiplash|who immediately after bursts]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|into laughing at this scene]]).

* ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]'' has an entire revolve around a kitten. Merfolk regard cats as their natural enemies, so when Nagasumi picks up a stray kitten, he finds out he can weaponize it and reduce hardened gangsters to gibbering wrecks. Everybody else at his school is just awed at the cuteness.

* Early in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Kuwabara is being blackmailed by a random thug who is holding his kitten hostage. That's right - the character who looks most like a normal street thug is a kitten lover.

** [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Amy According to the PMMM wiki], Gen Urobuchi admits that he was not aware of any cat and that he was surprised when he saw it at the storyboard of the OP. Amy was never part of the original storyline as she was fabricated by SHAFT for the OP of the Anime to mislead viewers and fans with a [[Red Herring]]. However, SHAFT approached Urobuchi for the Drama CD and asked him to include the cat in it, so Urobuchi accepted and she was included in the drama CD. {{spoiler|Amy is actually the reason why Madoka was a [[Magical Girl]] in the third timeline; her wish to Kyuubey was to save the kitty's life when she was seriously injured.}}

* Yune of ''[[Ikoku Meiro no Croisee]]'' has a knack for finding cats wherever she goes, and she just can't... help... petting... them-- '''scuse me, gotta chase a cat!'' Even the ending theme and mid-episode transition cards feature her with cats.

 

== Card Games ==

** What, no mention of [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chrysalis_Pantail Chrysalis Pantail]!? it's a baby panther! In a shimmery, [[Real Men Wear Pink|pink]] shell!

 

== Comic Books ==

* [[Garfield]]: Nermal likes to boast that he's "the world's cutest kitten". To Garfield, [[Tastes Like Diabetes|nauseatingly so.]]

* The (not so) pious Helene (a story by [[Wilhelm Busch]]) has one. Though the trope gets subverted when [http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/gutenb/wbusch/helene/bilder/helen703.gif her cat and] [http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/gutenb/wbusch/helene/bilder/helen705.gif another one (a tom)] first [http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/gutenb/wbusch/helene/bilder/helen704.gif kill Lene's canaries] and then wreak havoc in the house.

 

 

== Fan Works ==

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7208415/1/The_Adventures_of_James_Vega_and_Sergeant_Whiskers The Adventures of James Vega and Sergeant Whiskers,] a [[Mass Effect]] story done as a takeoff of a forum meme postulating that Vega likely owns a cat.

 

== Film ==

* [[Subverted]]/[[Inverted]] depressingly in ''[[Trainspotting]]''. That's right, they subverted cute kittens.

* ''[[The Adventures of Milo and Otis]]'' has this in spades double with [[Precious Puppies]].

* In universe example: Leo Spitz of ''[[Transformers Film Series|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' started off his conspiracy website by selling kitten calendars. Later, Sam uses them as his [[Madness Mantra]].

** [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: {{spoiler|the evil General then takes the kitten's eye that's been splattered to his coat, and eats it like a rare delicacy - a [[Take That]] at French food?}}

** Similar horrible, horrible subversion in the sequel to [[Pet Sematary]]: at one point the evil, reanimated dog is shown in a kennel at a vet's office, growling at another kennel with three adorable tabby kittens in it. The kittens hiss back. Cut to the next morning, where we see an excited little girl being led into the room by her mom who tells her that she can pick whichever kitten she wants, {{spoiler|only to scream in horror at the sight of the dog's busted-open kennel and the kittens' busted-open kennel ''caked with blood and gray fur.''}}

* Invoked in the DVD commentary of ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' where Daniel Handler, assuming his Lemony Snicket persona, spends most of the movie [[Snicket Warning Label|trying to convince viewers to watch something else]]:

{{quote| You know what I really like? A basket of kittens. I think everyone watching this film should just go out and buy, or otherwise procure, a basket of kittens.}}

* Several kittens appear in ''Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers''. Strangely enough, Michael, who is known to kill dogs, completely ignores the kittens.

 

 

== Literature ==

 

** Nanny Ogg's possibly demonic tom cat Greebo, on the other hand, found an encounter with her [[Beware the Nice Ones|somewhat disquieting, to say the least.]]

** Death, who is normally dispassionate about his job, has a soft spot for cats and gets really upset when he has to collect a bunch of kittens at once because someone drowned a sack of them in a rain barrel.

{{quote| '''Susan''': I wonder what happened when the man who did this met [[The Grim Reaper|my grandfather]].<br />

'''Lobsang''': Would he have met your grandfather?<br />

*** And if you think that ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' could never be cute, just listen to the names Tommen picks: Ser Pounce, Lady Whiskers, and Boots. After four books full of endless betrayal and suffering, this is exactly what the audience needs.

* In ''The Belgarion'' and ''[[The Malloreon]]'' series by [[David Eddings]], Kal Zakath, the "evil" emperor of Mallorea, is foreshadowed as turning out to be a decent guy at heart by his affection for his striped tabby cat and her kittens. A [[Running Gag]] soon develops where 'Zakath is constantly trying to give the kittens away to people, as his cat keeps having so many of them.

** And of course, fan artists will always fall back on this trope when it comes to drawing chibis.

* In the ''Cat Who'' series of books by Lillian Jackson Brown. There is a cast of several Kitties, but the main stars are the Psychic cat Koko, and his partner Yum Yum.

* In T.S. Elliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" and the musical based off of it called ''[[Cats]]'', there's a couple dozen, and a subversion: Grizabella, the Glamour Cat, is now quite old and ugly.

* In ''Whispering Nickel Idols'', Garrett acquires a bucketful of kittens whose very presence seems to radiate feelings of happiness, contentment, and party-time good cheer. It turns out that they're {{spoiler|disguised lesser avatars of a goddess of merriment and the night}}.

* Subverted by the kitten trees in ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Cetaganda]]''.

** Only one of his stories features the helpful moon-cats. Another features the same cats in a creepier context, where they eat a couple of cat-haters to the bone for revenge of killing a kitten.

* In ''[[The Witch of Blackbird Pond]]'', Hannah's cure for sad children is blueberry cake and a kitten. It never fails.

* There is an entire subgenre of mystery books called the "cozy mystery" in which the protagonists have a pet cat that helps them solving the murder that happens.

 

 

** Just to make you go "Awwww!", here's a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ1mYHWlnNA link].

* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]: Poor Miss Kitty Fantastico...

* Not even the Doctor is immune to the power of kittens, as the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Gridlock" shows.

* In ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' season three, P.C. -- short for Park Cat -- who was actually [[Punny Name|Kat]] under Rita's spell to spy on the Rangers.

* On ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' of March 5, 2009, [[Stephen Colbert]] discussed the imploding U.S. economy with CNBC analyst Jim Cramer while videos of kittens and puppies played in the background. [[Schmuck Bait|Well, I sure feel better about the economy!]]

** Don't forget the incident of [[Dead Baby Comedy]] in the form of Colbert challenging a guest to debate him on the subject of throwing kittens in a wood chipper.

** [[Based on a True Story]] of a cat in a nursing home that predicted the deaths of residents. See [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959718/?GT1=10150 article about Oscar].

* An episode of ''[[Top Gear]]'' has Jeremy discussing the finer points of twin turbocharged engines, but before he launches into his explanation, he remarks that some people in the audience tend to find such explanations boring, "so here's some soft little kittens for you to look at." The screen splits halfway between Clarkson and a mound of cuddly little kittens.

* Conan O'Brien-hosted ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' puts puppies and this trope together and gives us [http://www.hulu.com/watch/92561/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-puppies-dressed-as-cats Puppies Dressed As Cats!] (Note: link is from Hulu and may not work in all regions. Sorry.)

* ''[[The Closer]]'' provides a possibly deliberate example in introducing Joel, Brenda's new kitten, given that the case the episode revolves around is particularly draining emotionally.

* [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.

* [[Craig Ferguson]]'s version of ''[[The Late Late Show]]'' always ends with the feature "What did we learn on the show tonight, Craig?", which is introduced with an animated kitten.

** 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.

* [[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.

 

 

* "Jakdo" by pinknruby has purring most of the way through. The band made a stop-motion animation of the first 30 seconds featuring the sleeping cat and some scrunched up paper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyY9Y7XUCRU

* There is also [[Fatboy Slim]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgk9ouBuj-4 music video to his conversion of The Joker], which shows only kittens doing cute things.

* Subverted hard by Presidents of the United States of America's song "Kitty." After a few verses of petting the kitty, {{spoiler|it scratches}}.

{{quote| "[[Precision F-Strike|Fuck you]] kitty, you're gonna spend the night OUTSIDE!"}}

* There's <s>Evil Kitty</s> [[Heel Face Turn|Good Kitty]] in the ''[[Arfenhouse]]'' games and movies.

* In ''[[The Sims|My Sims]]'', the cat statue ground flair adds 3% to a building's cuteness.

** Cats are pretty much a running gag in the game. {{spoiler|When you fight Ozzie as part of Magus' sidequest, you hit a switch and fall down a pit. After heading back, everyone prepares for battle, then stops and they all watch as a cat randomly wanders in and presses the switch that kills Ozzie, then leaves.}} {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFrWhc5mmrc link.] }}

* Even [[World of Warcraft|Kel'Thuzad]] has [[Morality Pet|a cat]]. And he gets [[Big No|angry]] if [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|it's killed]] (however, rumors about doing so making him harder to kill or altering the [[Randomly Drops]] have been proven false).

** On the other hand, an undead questgiver has nothing better to do with her kitty than using it as a guinea pig for experiments with demonic substances.

** Telma's cat is a very plot important kitty.

* Dwarves in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' are susceptible to this trope, often adopting the fort's ludicrous supply of cats. This can be very bad for your framerate. The main developer, Toady One, has his own feline companion, [http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Scamps Scamps], and the update log often includes lines such as "Scamps fell asleep on my shoulder like a very tired parrot today." Awwwwwwww...

** Potentially a subversion. There is [http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Catsplosion an ongoing investigation within the wiki] regarding the elven-brewed feline insurgency dedicated to death and destruction (of frame-rates) through such nefarious means as "Cuddly-Wuddly Syndrome" (CWS) and [[Disaster Dominoes|the subsequent tantrum spirals that emerge from killing a cat]].

*** But chubby Jeane was already brainshatteringly cute!

** One of the jobs in the first game has Travis wondering around picking up runaway cats.

** ''[[Mushroom Kingdom Fusion]]'' brought him back as one of Roll's weapons. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].

* 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]].

* Subverted with ''Sukeban Shachou Rena'' for Wii, which, despite being based around a premise of cat love, ended up being the [http://www.destructoid.com/insane-cat-game-becomes-worst-selling-wii-title-ever-153921.phtml worst-selling Wii game] at 100 copies sold.

* One of the new [[DS|3DS]] games coming out is ''[[Nintendogs]]''. Plus cats. Really, the name is "Nintendogs Plus Cats".

* The resident [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|Kindhearted Cat Lovers]] of ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial 2]]'', [[Born Unlucky|Miyuki Kotobuki]] and [[Broken Bird|Kaori Yae]], have positively adorable scenes revolving around cats: you can see in Childhood Mode a young Miyuki with her kitten Mii-chan in the front pocket of her dungarees, playing with her; and Kaori has a post-[[He's Back|She's Back]] scene where she finds and happily plays with a kitten, serving as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. In addition, Kaori has a beautiful [[Image Song]] named "Tsukiyo no Koneko" ("Moonlight Kitten").

* The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series has Blaze.

* An enigmatic black cat makes an unexplained appearance early in ''[[Ghost Trick]]''. {{spoiler|Turns out that cat is Sissel's ''real'' corpse, animated by another ghost's powers. At the end of the game Sissel rearranges the timeline so his body (currently a young kitten, since this is ten years before his death) was pierced by the Temsik meteorite shard rather than Yomiel, and he is adopted by Jowd's family. [[Living Forever Is Awesome]], but it's extra awesome when you're an adorable kitten.}}

* The musk cats from the ''[[Phantasy Star]]'' series, anyone? They're cute kittens that talk! In the first game, one is even a playable character!

* In ''[[Shadow of Destiny]]'', doing an extra side quest can result in the library being filled with cute cats. {{spoiler|You just go back into the past and give the little girl there a kitten. Back to the future, and bam. The place is filled with it's descendants.}}

* When [[The Tick]] was trying to masquerade as a villain to track down another villain, he was asked to prove it by, well, [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten|eating a kitten]]. Naturally, he beat all the bad guys and saved the kitten, instead.

** Unless he's filling the role of [[Enemy to All Living Things|Elmyra's]] current [[And Call Him George|mangle-critter]].

* You really can't blame the [[Misaimed Fandom]] of ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' for thinking Tai Lung is awesome - after all, he's incredibly [[Badass]] and [[Evil Is Cool|cool]] and [[Unintentionally Sympathetic|oddly sympathetic]] - but the real clincher comes when we see Shifu's flashbacks to raising him from a kitten. [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|A rambunctious, big-eyed, fluffy-tailed, eager-to-please, kung-fu-lovin' kitten]]. The [[Word of God|creators themselves]] admitted that they may have gone a bit too far in trying to avoid a one-note villain.

* Flo and Zo from ''Clifford's Puppy Days''.

** There are metric tons of fanart where BB is in kitten form -- [[Fetish Fuel|and being stroked, petted, or otherwise admired]] by Raven or Terra. I'll leave the obvious [[Double Entendre]] to you guys.

* The Disney shorts "More Kittens", "Three Orphan Kittens", "Lend a Paw", and several others.

* [[Chuck Jones]] did a very effective series of cartoons where an adorable kitten brings out the protective, loving side of a big tough bulldog.

* ''[[Oliver and Company]]'' is ''[[Oliver Twist]]''... only the main character's a kitty.

* ''[[The Aristocats]]''. One must wonder why it took so long for Marie to make her appearance in Disney World, considering Japan's equivalent just had to have one of the kitties appear in TokyoDisney.

* There is an episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' ("Catastrophe") in which the Powerpuff Girls have to find one of the kittens for a [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|giant monster]] in order to help him leave Townsville alone.

* The ''[[Archer]]'' episode "El Secuestro" has Archer finding out that Cheryl, the ISIS secretary, is secretly a heiress with a pet ocelot... and the notably [[Jerkass]] secret agent is instantly smitten with the exotic cat. "Oh my God, you guys! Look at his little spots! And his tufted ears!"

* White Kitty from ''[[Goodbye Kitty]]''. His rival Black Kitty, however, [[Jerkass|is a completely different story]].
