For the humanoid species, go to Catkind

A cat was a type of predatory and typically small feline mammal coming in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. Cats could be found on a variety of planets, and were commonly domesticated to be pets. (NA: Human Nature)

Cat variants

Earth cats

There were many species of cats found on Earth, including 'common' house cats, tigers, and the sabre-toothed tigers. The cats of Earth went extinct some time before the year 2157, (NA: Lucifer Rising) with tigers dying out before 2148. (NA: St Anthony's Fire) The Tenth Doctor once claimed the cats on Earth weren't native to the planet but were in fact aliens, and rather than the rather prosaic names humans tended to give them, their actual names were much grander like "Great Hunter Grimalkin Greycoat Lionheart". Donna believed he was pulling her leg. (IDW: Autopia)

Gallifreyan cats

Cats could also be found on Gallifrey. (NA: Human Nature) They had been introduced into Gallifrey's eco-system by the First Doctor and Ruath. (MA: Goth Opera) One of the Presidents of Gallifrey had a pet cat. The cat was eaten by a mouse that had been enlarged by the Rani during an experiment. (DW: The Mark of the Rani)

Cheetah World's cats

The kitlings and the Cheetah people were two species of cat-like creatures found on the Cheetah World. Both were known to travel off-world. While visiting Earth, the kitlings were easily mistaken for terrestrial cats. (DW: Survival)

Anubian cats

A species called the Glomb, which was identical to a cat, was native to Anubis. (K9TV: Curse of Anubis)

Sapient cats

Several sapient species were cat-like in appearance.

Cats and the Doctor

The Doctor's relationship with cats has varied.

First Doctor

Fourth Doctor

Fifth Doctor

Sixth Doctor

  • This Doctor usually wore a coat with one of several cat brooches on its left lapel, and occasionally had a variable number of cat-shaped patches sewn into its lining. He sometimes touched his cat brooch for luck. (DW: Attack of the Cybermen) One of his cat badges seemed to change its expression to match the Doctor's mood. (WC: Real Time)
  • Whilst fighting off a transformation into an Androgum in 20th century Spain, the Doctor noticed a stray cat and was tempted to eat it. (DW: The Two Doctors)

Seventh Doctor

The Seventh Doctor's cat, Wolsey, relaxes atop the time rotor. (WC: Human Nature)

Eighth Doctor

Ninth Doctor

Tenth Doctor

Eleventh Doctor

Other cats
