'''Cats''' are a species in the {{SER}} who appear both as [[villager]]s and as [[special character]]s. All of them have pointed ears and slender tails. In the real world, cats are a domesticated animal commonly kept as house pets, much like [[dog]]s. Although cats are not the only species to appear simultaneously as both villagers and special characters, the two types share an identical base model, while others, such as the dog special characters, tend to have completely different designs from their normal villager counterparts.

Twenty-six cat villagers have appeared in the series so far, along with five cat special characters; this makes cats the most abundant species, not counting the [[bear]]s added with the [[bear cub]]s, which equals thirty-four villagers. Out of the cat villagers, fifteen are female and eleven are male, making it a predominantly female species. Of these, six are [[peppy]], five are [[snooty]], four are [[lazy]], four are [[jock]], three are [[normal]], two are [[cranky]], one is [[smug]], and one is [[big sister]].

Out of the cat villagers, only [[Meow]] and [[Pierre]] have not reappeared since {{DnMe+}}, and additionally, [[Felyne]] is missing from {{NH}}. [[Monique]] and [[Stinky]] are also absent from {{PC}}. Out of all the villagers that made their debut in {{DnM}}, the cat is the only species to not have any cut villagers reappear in the {{NLWa}} update.
