Talk:List of fictional felines

message: Internet Cats; from Caturday macros to the most famous ones, we have ALL seen them.  If you have a whole article on Rapcat and a list of cat-like pokemon, there is no excuse for exclusion of knowledge.  I propose that the most famous of Internet cats be included: Longcat, Limecat, Speedycat, Happy Cat (the one certain morons call the 'I can has cheeseburger' cat), and such.

Is Midnight the Cat, a character on TV's Smilin' Ed McConnell and His Buster Brown Gang and later Andy's Gang, from the late 1950s, whose voice was provided by June Foray, later the voice of Rocky the Squirrel (and a host of others) too obscure for this list? Probably so :( . Pluck your magic twanger, Froggie! -- Someone else 05:00 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)

There's surely some overlap between "Animation, comics, puppetry" and "Cats on TV"/"Cats on film", unless the latter two are intended to only include cats played by actual cats, in which case Bagpuss, the Pink Panther and others are misclassified.  Ditto for dogs.  Anyone sure what the intention was? Bagpuss 18:30 Jan 9, 2003 (UTC)
In the list of fictional felines, you need to add "Rhubarb" by H.Allen Smith (Doubleday 1946). Both the book and the movie (1947?) which stared Ray Milland. The story is about a large orange tabby cat who inherits a baseball team; the New York Loons. There are other good books about cats, and your list should reflect them.

We have a few of the "big cats" (Tony the Tiger, Kitty, Tigger, Pink Panther, Simba, Rags) so I think it's cats in a broad sense... --- Someone else 07:28 Mar 29, 2003 (UTC)
So is this a list of big cats as well as smaller cats (if so, we can get rid of lions & tigers on the other lists).  Or maybe we should break them up into sub-lists so that you can actually find them, instead of having to look thru the whole list?

To whom it may concern: Please feel free to visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds/Categories because I think that structuring Cat articles and Dog articles could take a similar tack--would be nice to use same subcategories for consistency. Elf | Talk 04:11, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Confirmation required 

message: In the listing of cats for OP's Book of Practical Cats, it was mixed somewhat with the musical as well. For instance, Victoria is a cat from the musical, not the book. (Victor is in the book, however). Quaxo is either the same as Mistoffelees (as a name he is referred to by before his appearance), or a separate cat (this issue seems undecided amoung fans). However, Quaxo in the book is in no way related to Misto (who  also has never been known as the Magical Tuxedo Cat as far as I know). Grizabella is not from the book. She is from a poem that T.S. Eliot chose not to include because he considered it too mature for children. She is, however, a very important character in the musical.
Regardless, I've attempted to make the separation between book and musical more accurate by removing cats not mentioned in the book, and correcting a bit of slightly off information along the way (for instance, we don't know Munkustrap is a protector from the book. Only the musical). Also, there's a separate list for the cats in the musical CATS that are not in OP's Book of Practical Cats. And for kicks, I've also added more cats not listed currently (even though most of them, we know nothing about except they're cats).
Due to the fact that listing them in order of appearance makes little sense to me as the order listed by appearance is currently inaccurate anyway, the listing has been modified to be alphabetical which is, while boring, a bit easier to look up cats.
Cat "titles" (such as in Macavity: The Mystery Cat) have been removed for consistency as in the book, cats have many different titles/nicknames which seem unimportant to list. For instance, along with Mystery Cat, you'd have to list Hidden Paw, Napoleon of Crime, etc, etc).

message: Could someone please stop adding 'Miss Cat Ears' under 'List of fictional cats in IT'?  The 'character', if you can call it that, is not a cat - just a girl who wears cat ears.
Furthermore, the only reason it keeps getting added is so that a group of mentally disturbed Britney Spears fans can harass an innocent teenager living in Texas.  PrincessDelphine 01:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't matter if she's "not a cat" - the same could be said about many of the characters in this list. This is about characters who take on the ficticious role of a cat, which could be applied to Miss Cat Ears (thus her name).

replies: text: Yes it does matter - the 'character' is not a cat, therefore something that is not a cat should not be in an entry referring to fictional cats.  I am contributing to the article by making sure it is correct.  The character should be listed in the Catgirl article, as she is a girl who wears cat ears.  I also have reason to believe that the inclusion of the character is meant to harass the teenager I first mentioned.  PrincessDelphine 01:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This List claims to be about "fiction"al cats, but lists several entities taht are not part of works of fiction. Mythology is not fiction. "Cats in song" do not actually always refer to an actual entity of a specific fictional cat ( "Smelly Cat" c.f. "Cat's in the cradle"). Schroedinger's cat is a metaphor, not a piece of fiction. Memes such as ceilingcat are not "fictional cats" either, they are photos with writing on them...

replies: text: Any cat without an individual article to support its notability should be removed. Any entry which is not an actual feline entity, but some form of cultural reference or title featuring "cats" should be removed.

message: I was reading through the description of "Yair the Cat" and noticed a few discrepancies with its legitimacy. First and foremost, it is listed under literature and yet has 17 seasons?
It then lists some characters which I can only assume are all from Wow! Wow! Wubbzy, a show which does not contain a character named "Yair".
I and some friends attempted to find any reference to this character and found this, which has... no references whatsoever?
My main issue with the description was the fact that the character is dating a character called Bluey, who is a character from a widely popular TV series, and not from a "book" called "Yair the Cat". 
I really don't think the person who added this cat knew if it was real or not (pretty sure it was from this revision) but I'm almost 90% sure it's fake. Just wanted to check if anyone else had seen this or if they know what this character is?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wingedlionn (talk • contribs) 19:25, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
