History Main / CatsAreSnarkers

%%* ''[[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTailFievelGoesWest An American Tail: Fievel Goes West]]'': Cat R. Waul and Miss Kitty.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'': Bagheera the leopard is a big-time snarker.

%%** Shere Khan, who is also a snarker, shows signs of this as TheComicallySerious CorruptCorporateExecutive in ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': [[PantheraAwesome Rajah]], Princess Jasmine's pet tiger. He's especially snarky to any suitors of Jasmine ([[https://youtu.be/56b5lo6A98g?t=40 Aladdin in particular,]] since he's the only one that she liked back), probably out of jealousy.

** The Cat-Wizards have developed an unofficial version of their BadassCreed for when they ''really'' [[SurroundedByIdiots aren't in the mood for the people they have to deal with]].

** Tualha. Right up to and including [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu snarking in the Lone Power's face.]]

* [[MeaningfulName Sassy]] from ''Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney''.

* In the second ''Manga/SallyTheWitch'' series, Sally has a talking cat named Dabdab and he's pretty snarky.
* Both Luna and Artemis from ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' are ''masters'' of snark, especially when dealing with their respective less-than-devoted protégés Usagi and Minako.

%%* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Meowth, that's right!
* Koneko Toujou from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD''. She is a CatGirl, and most of her sarcastic remarks tend to go towards [[LovableSexManiac Issei]] [[ChivalrousPervert Hyodo]], whom she at first disliked, but later warmed up to and ultimately fell in love with.

%%* Toyed with in the "Nekotalia" strips of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''. There are all kinds of cats there, but the only one who really fits in is Tama a.k.a. Japaneko... and that's when he's not [[SeriousBusiness ranting about tuna.]]
%%* Mao from ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''. Mostly because he misses being human.
%%* A lot of the cats in ''Manga/CatParadise'' are like this, including the main character's cat, Kansuke. [[MegaNeko Kaen]] is just plain [[CatsAreMean mean]], though.
* ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'': Nadia's cat, Octavian.
* Amanojaku from ''Anime/GhostStories'' is the snarkiest character on the show.

* Luca from ''Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix'', the TeamPet for Team Satomi snarks when he has his cybernetic implants on. His moments are often complaints about the idiocy and confrontations between his owner’s teammates.
* Gatomon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' is rather acerbic when she's first introduced as a henchman to the ArcVillain. Even after making a HeelFaceTurn, she still has her sharp tongued moments, partially due to being a higher level than the other partner Digimon and more annoyed at their immaturity.

* [[spoiler:Sissel]] from ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' is certainly a snarker, though [[spoiler: even he doesn't find out he's a cat until the very end of the game.]]
* Sulpher, from ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'', isn't the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Mana of]] [[DeadpanSnarker Snark]], but only because [[spoiler:he's actually an ordinary house cat.]]

* ''VideoGame/GibbousACthulhuAdventure'': Kitteh by light years, especially once the Necronomicon gives her speech.

* Salem (again!) in ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' is just as snarky as his live-action counterpart.
* Garfield ([[RunningGag again!]]), in ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' -- Lorenzo Music's deadpan delivery is what sells it.
* Shere Khan ([[RuleOfThree again!]]), in ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', this time as a [[TheComicallySerious serious]], [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive ruthless businesscat]] rather than a jungle predator.
* Cat from ''Literature/LittleBear'' is the snarkiest member of the main cast.
* Azrael in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', though he snarks in meows and may not even ''be'' snarking.

%%* Fluffy Lopart from ''WesternAnimation/HandyManny'' is a [[SilentSnarker non-talking example]].
* Opalescence from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. The timing of her meows and [[SilentSnarker facial expressions]] combined give off this trope's feel. This applies especially well to "Sweet and Elite", where Rarity keeps talking to Opal about various things and Opal almost constantly responds in a SilentSnarker type way. Also the time that Sweetie Belle wonders aloud if she could be good with animals; Opal slices off part of her mane with AudibleSharpness and smirks as if to say "Lol, U mad?" The only thing is, she is only like this when Fluttershy isn't around. When Fluttershy ''is'' around, Opal becomes a perfect little cat.
* Sebastian from ''ComicBook/JosieAndThePussycats'' is yet another non-talking example. His suppressed chuckling at Alexandra's misfortunes is quite frequent.

%%* Custard from the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' version
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': [=SpongeBob's=] pet snail, Gary, who is analogous to a cat, and whose facial expressions unambiguously convey his thoughts about all the goings-on.
* Dodsworth was a very short-lived [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Warner Bros.]] character, appearing in only two shorts. He was a lazy, obese cat with Sheldon Leonard furnishing his snarks. As he allows an army of mice to steal food past him: "One 'o these days, I'm gonna have to get a mousetrap."
%%* Hanna-Barbera's ''WesternAnimation/TopCat''
%%* Proud Heart Cat from ''WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s''

* Gumball Watterson from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' acts as the show's number one DeadpanSnarker most of the time. His mom can sometimes get in on the act, too.

%%* Bartleby from ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom'', although his intentions are always for the better.

%%* Proud Heart Cat from ''WesternAnimation/CareBears'' at least in the Creator/{{Nelvana}} series

* Bartleby from ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom'', although his intentions are always for the better.

* ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson'': Once the animosity between them (particularly on her side) settles down, this pretty much describes a great deal of the interactions [[SnarkToSnarkCombat between Tai Lung and Tigress]] but it's the snow leopard more than any other character who is the most sarcastic in the story.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': [[BigBad Scar]].

* Binks from ''Film/HocusPocus'' has moments of this.

* Chloe from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets''.
-->'''Chloe:''' Max, c'mon, I'm your friend, ok? And as your friend, I gotta be honest with you: I don't care about you or your problems.

-->''The Cheshire Cat:'' Here's a riddle. When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I'll tell you: whenever you want it to be.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'': Has a cat that fits this trope in both the film and the book.

* Bartleby from ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom'' is a somewhat downplayed example, as while he does make some snarky comments, his intentions are always for the better.

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'': Diego the ''Smildon'' is easily the most sardonic of the gang. He ''is'' voiced by Creator/DenisLeary, though, so it's not that surprising.

%%* Salem from ''ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' in several adaptations. It should be noted that in those adaptions, Salem was originally a warlock who tried to take over the world and was turned into a cat as punishment. In the original comic, he was just Sabrina's pet cat who [[DependingOnTheWriter occasionally]] had magical powers.

%%[[folder:Live-Action TV]]

%%* Salem, from ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'', mentioned in the Comic Books section.
%%[[/folder]]

%%* Salem (again!), this time from ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries''.
%%* Garfield ([[RunningGag again!]]), in ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' -- Lorenzo Music's deadpan delivery is what sells it.
%%* Shere Khan ([[RuleOfThree again!]]), in ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', this time as a [[TheComicallySerious serious]], [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive ruthless businesscat]].
%%* Cat from ''Literature/LittleBear''.

%%* Socrates from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues''.

%%* Rita of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.

* Luxor from ''WesternAnimation/Tutenstein'' combines this trope with ServileSnarker; he's usually very diplomatic about his human companions' failings, but he will occasionally make a quip about it.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'': Diego. He ''is'' voiced by Creator/DenisLeary.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'': Bagheera the panther is a big-time snarker.

%%* ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService'': Jiji, especially in the English dub.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': [=SpongeBob's=] pet snail, Gary, who is analogous to a cat.

%%* The cat half of ''WesternAnimation/CatDog''.

%%* Toyed with in the "Nekotalia" strips of ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia''. There are all kinds of cats there, but the only one who really fits in is Tama a.k.a. Japaneko... and that's when he's not [[SeriousBusiness ranting about tuna.]]

* In the second ''FanFic/WeasleyGirl'' novel, Crookshanks is SuddenlySpeaking when Ronnie learns the Animal Talk Charm. Turns out that not only does he talk like [[Literature/OliverTwist the Artful Dodger]], but he's about as cheeky and sarcastic as him too.
