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

Cat variants

Earth cats

There were many species of cats on Earth, including 'common' house cats, tigers and sabre-toothed tigers. The cats of Earth went extinct before the year 2157. (NA: Lucifer Rising) Tigers died 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 aliens. Rather than the 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 were also 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. It was eaten by a mouse that had been enlarged by the Rani in an experiment. (DW: The Mark of the Rani)

  • 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)
