Cats are pet animals which are depicted in many GTA games, but only physically featured in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

Cats are often encountered roaming around urban areas of Los Santos and Blaine County or sleeping in quieter areas such as alleys. They are passive and their demeanour is generally calm, though they may run away from the player if they are approached. There are several different breeds of cat in-game, including Domestic Shorthairs and Persians.

Trivia

• In the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V, the player can play as a cat, along with other animals like dogs and birds, if they consume a peyote plant.
• Because cats tend to run away from the player after spying them, their AI pathfinding often forces them to run into the path of traffic, where they usually die after being struck by vehicles.
• A cat can be heard meowing during the end of the commercial for Pets Overnight in Grand Theft Auto III.
• In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a picture of a white cat is hung on the wall in Carl Johnson's room in the Johnson House, possibly implying that it was at one point the Johnson family's pet. The same cat picture can also be found in other houses in the game, as well as inside the Journalist's apartment in Rockstar's Manhunt.
• In Grand Theft Auto IV, inside the apartment complexes in Northwood, North Holland and East Holland, like one next door to Playboy X's Penthouse, there is a missing cat poster with the heading "Have you seen my adorable pussy". It plays on the double entendre that 'pussy' is slang for both 'cat' and 'vagina'.
• Cats (along with dogs) can be sometimes heard in the game's ambiance noises in Grand Theft Auto IV, but they cannot be physically seen in the game.
  • Katt Williams mentions that he has never seen a cat or a dog in Liberty City.
• In the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V, if one plays as Franklin Clinton and is taking Chop out for a walk, cats nearby will run away out of fear.
