context_page_description: The following page is a list of characters in the Australian comedy television series Kath & Kim.
context_section_description: Kath Day-Knight is a cheery middle-aged woman, the mother of Kim and the wife (after Season 1) of Kel.
  Kath was born in 1954, and was married to Gary Poole (Kim's father) for a short time in the late seventies. It is revealed in 2x08 that Garry left just before Kim was born. Kath got the house when Gary left, which she sold, leaving her reasonably well off. She lives in Fountain Lakes with Kel (after Season 1) and frequently with Kim (who keeps breaking up with Brett). In Season 4, Kim, Brett and Epponee all move in with them. Kath doesn't have a permanent job, but has done a large number of TAFE courses. In the 2005 telemovie, Kath and Kel got offered a franchise called The Da Vinci Code Tours, but that is never mentioned in the next season.
  While sorting through old family pictures, Kath realizes that she is of Aboriginal Descent after taking a DNA test which proved it in the episode "Roots". She is also of Manx and Chinese descent. Kath also experiences problems with her age; feeling too old at times as she is four months older than her husband, Kel. Kath is a supporter of the Richmond Tigers.
