The world of Pokemon features a diverse cast of creature companions, many inspired by animals found in the real world. Among the most popular are cat Pokemon, feline creatures that capture the agility, playfulness, and occasionally temperamental nature of household cats. This article will cover a comprehensive list of all cat Pokemon available in the Pokedex.
What Makes a Pokemon a Cat Pokemon?
Not all cat Pokemon are explicitly labeled as felines in the Pokedex. However, many share common traits that connect them to cats, like having fur, paws, tails, whiskers, and catlike faces.
Mythical creatures like Entei may seem debatable, but since they draw inspiration from lions, they make the list. On the other hand, Pokemon with less defined origins like Mew aren’t included.
