* The cats from ''{{Catwoman}}'', the movie. They resurrected the dead Catwoman and gave her cat-like abilities.

** To elaborate: LolCats, over the years, have accrued a small mythology. Ceiling Cat, based off a picture of a cat that was stuck in between the walls of an apartment that was rescued when a hole was cut in the ceiling, is considered the [[KingOfAllCosmos God of Lolcats]]. Basement Cat is just any random black cat, and is considered [[{{Satan}} the Devil]]. There are others, such as Longcat, who can stretch to any length and is sometimes depicted in an [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt epic battle]] with its EvilAlterEgo, Tacgnol.

* [[IncrediblyLamePun Blair the Witch]] from ''SoulEater''. Worst. Pun. Ever.

* In [[LLoydAlexander Lloyd Alexander's]], ''TimeCat'', all cats have the ability to travel to any place they choose, in any point of time they choose. This is said to be the reason why they can vanish mysteriously in small rooms.

* In GarthNix's ''[[OldKingdom Old Kingdom Trilogy]]'', there is Mogget, the sarcastic, fish-demanding, white feline servant of the Abhorsens [[spoiler: who is actually Yrael, one of the Nine Bright Shiners, and a free magic creature, bound by a ring. Kerrigor is bound along with Mogget by the same ring and becomes a sleeping black cat.]]

[[OlderThanDirt Throughout history]], cats have gone [[IncrediblyLamePun paw-in-paw]] with the supernatural. In AncientEgypt they were considered to be sacred to the goddess Bast, in Europe they were tied to [[DealWithTheDevil witchcraft]], in [[{{UsefulNotes/Japan}} Japan]] and [[{{UsefulNotes/Russia}} Russia]] they are heralds of good luck, while in other places they are [[TheJinx harbingers of misfortune]]. In western culture, [[CatsHaveNineLives cats are purported to have nine lives]] and black cats in particular, carry associations with witchcraft and both bad and good luck.

* The cats in ''{{ARIA}}'', especially the Mars variety. And then of course there's [[MegaNeko Cait Sith]].

* The Ghatti's Tale books feature cats with psychic powers who bond with humans. Humans partnered with cats act as arbiters because of the felines' ability to "mindwalk." The ghatti, however, are noted as being natives of their planet and distinct from "normal" Earth-origin cats despite sharing many similiarites.

* Ship's cats (especially black ones) were said to be lucky by sailors, although pirates often believed that a ship which had a black cat walk on then off was doomed to sink.

* ''UnLunDun'', by ChinaMieville, subverts this by making cats the most stupid and ''least'' magical of all animals. Dogs, foxes, fish and various birds are shown to be sapient and able to cross the boundaries between worlds, but cats are too concerned with looking cool to learn anything of value.

* Similar to that, Constantine had John use a cat to enter the underworld, because they're "in-between".

* In ''SailorMoon'', the characters find out they are Sailor Soilders/Senshi/Scouts with magic powers because two talking cats with crescent moons on their foreheads, Artemis and Luna, appear to inform them and guide them as they try to save the world. They can even make magical items appear by doing backflips.
