The ninja cats, armed with deadly weaponry, have the upper hand throughout the entire fight and when Sorawo uses her Magic Eye on two of the cats, hoping they don't look like cats with true forms revealed, she discovers that they look like cats. To get them to leave her alone, they head to Interstital space (the place between our world and the other side) and fight them head on. In Otherside Picnic, Sorawo and Toriko end up helping Akari, a girl being menaced by ninja cats.Maurice, a cat given human-level intelligence after a magical accident, has to pull off feats of Ninja-like combat to fight his way out and escape: these involve swimming through mud and sewage and wriggling through increasingly smaller spaces. In the Discworld novel, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, the titular cat, Maurice, is trapped in a dank underground cellar, pursued by massive killer rats operating under the eldritch direction of the evil Rat king.Incidentally, February 22nd is both National Ninja Day and National Cat Day in Japan, because due to multiple possible readings of the number in Japanese "2 2 2" can be read as either "nin nin nin" or "nyan nyan nyan", the stereotypical onomatopea for a ninja's footsteps and a cat's meow, respectively. See also Female Feline, Male Mutt (in cases of overlap, you can usually expect a cat ninja and a dog bruiser). See also Cats Are Superior, Cats Are Mean, Animal Stereotypes (generally the cause of ninja cats), Animal Occupation Stereotypes, and Good Animals, Evil Animals (when the cat ninjas are evil, often when they're black or Siamese). Not related to With Catlike Tread or to Classy Cat-Burglar (although all three tropes reference cats as stealthy animals). This need not apply solely to household cats it is possible for some species of big cat, such as tigers or panthers, to be portrayed as ninjas - big cats are less common with Talking Animals, thanks to Rule of Cute, but may be more common with Animal Motifs, due to Rule of Cool. These cats often have all-black fur due to ninjas being generally portrayed as wearing all-black outfits. They may be an example of Cats Are Superior if they're portrayed as arrogant, or Cats Are Mean if they're antagonists.
Typically expect characters of this nature to be either Badass Adorable or Tall, Dark, and Handsome (if not some version of Evil Is Sexy).
Naturally, some works of fiction ignore the fact that cats tend to knock over household items and prefer to exaggerate their "stealthy" tendencies by turning felines into ninja. Ninja are renowned for being masters of stealth, difficult to kill, and ruthlessly efficient or sadistically deadly assassins. So of course, in a work involving both cats (whether as literal Talking Animals, merely symbolic Animal Motifs, or something in between) and ninja themes, you should expect the ninja role to tend towards cats.Ĭats in general have a reputation for being an adorable pet, as well as for being self-reliant, hunting down mice with either ruthless efficiency or sadistic pleasure, having nine lives, and trying to sneak around everywhere. Ninja are stereotypically stealthy, quick, graceful, and acrobatic. Cats are stereotypically stealthy, quick, graceful, and acrobatic.
