List of fictional cats in television

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of fictional cats and other felines in television is subsidiary to the list of fictional cats. This list includes feline puppet characters. It is restricted solely to notable feline characters from notable live action (or primarily live-action) television programmes. This page does not list fictional cats in animation, including fictional big cats, but may include some fictional catpeople. For characters that appear in several separate shows, only the earliest appearance will be recorded here.
