Kat or Mr. Kat is a sentient evil (or maybe not evil) alien agent of a planet called Catnip home to an entire race of kat like aliens. He is initially introduced as the primary antagonist, though as the series progresses, his motives become more complex and ambiguous than simply causing trouble for Coop.


Background

Kat is the prince of his world he has been picked to be sent to Earth in search of food or to find a new planet for their species, by the King (AKA Kat's father). Reasons of why Kat was chosen have not been established, and nor has Kat's presence. However, hints have been thrown out into the series on how and why Kat is here.

Place of Origin

Kat is a native of the planet "Catnip", an alien world inhabited by a race of cat-like creatures. While little is known about Catnip, both the planet and it's inhabitants have made more than one appearance throughout the series.

Arrival on Earth

Kat's arrival on Earth, He was sent down to take over Earth as shown in Tickled Pink

Human Contact

The first human that Kat encountered was the 10 year-old Coop Burtonburger, who by chance, happened to be searching for his prized baseball, which his younger sister Millie had thrown into the bushes during a game of catch. When Coop finally located his ball, he hurried to retrieve it. The creature then emerged from the bushes and roared menacingly at the boy, causing him to flee in fear. Kat was captured by Millie shortly after, when she went looking for the ball that Coop failed to return with. Curiously, a coughing sound can be heard when the ball falls out of the bush that Kat is hiding in, suggesting that he may have attempted to eat it.

Kat's Adoption

At first when Millie asked her father if they could adopt a strange looking animal (supposedly a cat), Burt turned her down, stating that whatever "He, She or it" was, it had a collar on and therefore probably had an owner. He was forced to compromise though, when his daughter threw a tantrum, deciding that she could keep Kat if and only if they couldn't find it's owner. Satisfied, Millie dubbed her new friend "Mr. Kat" and wasted no time dressing up and feeding the creature. Coop was equally commited to getting rid of their new guest, having already made up a whole pile of "missing cat" posters. His efforts were ultimately in vain though, as both Millie and Kat worked to ensure that Mr. Kat would become a permanent part of the family.

Appearance

Kat's physical appearance can be likened to that of a somewhat small Sphynx cat, however, as an alien he has numerous traits that are unique to him, including large reflective eyes and extremely durable claws. In "Nip Duck" when Kat is taken to the vet for a checkup, the veterinarian states that he cannot find Kat's pupils, implying that he doesn't have any and what appears to be his pupils are simply reflections of light in his eyes. Intriguingly still, while attempting to listen to Kat's heart, the vet can find no trace of a pulse at all (though Kat is able to fabricate a heartbeat in order to avoid suspicion). Later in the episode it is revealed that Kat is also part cyborg, as evidenced by his abnormal X-ray. In spite of his extraordinary body however, Kat is still susceptible to trivial things such as poison ivy, fire-ant venom and skunk spray.

Kat also exhibits several humanoid qualities, such as walking upright, opening doors and manipulating objects with his hands.

Alien Abilities

See: Kat/Powers

Kat is able to make use of various abilities, such as X-ray vision, Heat rays, a Vacuum-mouth and Corrosive spit. He is also shown to be quite strong, despite his small size. His greatest asset however, may be his intelligence and engineering abilities. Kat has been able to construct rockets, lasers, comunicators and even a teleportation device out of nothing but ordinary household appliances.

Multilingual ability

Amazingly, Kat is able to understand human language (though he is unable to speak it) despite having been on Earth for such a brief period. (Although it is possible that Kat studied Earth's languages prior to his arrival, or that either he or his species has been to Earth before).

Weaknesses

Reaction to Earth Viruses

Curiously, Kat is shown to have an unforseen reaction to Earth's native viruses. Symptoms include swelling and blisters that cover the entire body. Stranger still, is the fact that merely washing himself with soap and water is sufficient enough to reverse the effects of infection.

Reaction to Junk Food

Kat is also shown to put on weight very quickly whenever he consumes food with fattening properties. Cat food, however, including his favourite treat, "Fishy Frisky Bits" seem to have no weight effect at all unless eaten in enormous quantities.

Personality

Kat enjoys music and dancing just like an average teenager. He uses his powers selflessly as shown in Bend it like a burtonburger where he is inspired to make several more robot slaves after Millie buys herself a pampering robot.

Temperament

Kat is shown to be quite docile at times, giving him the appearance of a normal house cat. However this may just be an act to blend in, as other times he can be found toiling away at some new scheme or invention. It's also notable that Kat seems to get along, (or at the very least, have no problem) with anyone who doesn't get in his way. For those who do however, Kat shows no mercy. This is backed up by the fact that he has a seething hatred towards Coop and Dennis, who constantly foil his plans, while Burt and Millie are considered friends, despite being human. It is also shown that Kat has no problem with Mrs. Munson, until she upsets his plans in "Dial B For Babysitter".

Irritability

Kat has a rather short fuse, (on par with his owner Millie) and is quick to anger at the slightest grievance, despite his best efforts to remain nonchalant. While Coop may be considered the primary nuisance in Kat's life, there are many trivial things such as taking a bath, trying new food or meeting new people that contribute to the feline's overall aggravation.

Behaviour

Despite being an alien, Kat has quite a lot in common with earth cats. When he's not trying to further his plans; Kat enjoys sleeping, tearing up the furniture and has a strong dislike for baths. He also displays a fondness for yarn, cat food, and fishy frisky bits and is easily distracted by any of them. Oddly enough, on more then one occasion, Kat has shown to be quite proficient at dancing. In the episode "You'll Be Show Sorry" Kat exhibits his talent as an entertainer, scoring top marks during a pet show.

Alien Activity

During his time on Earth, in-between messing with Coop and maintaining his guise as an ordinary house cat, Kat has engaged in several otherworldly operations.

Rocket Science

Throughout the series, Kat has shown both a fondness and an apttitude for rockets, as well as the science behind them. On more than one occasion he has managed to launch a rocket into space, one of which appears to be a makeshift satellite, broadcasting a message in Kat's native language.

Portals

Kat further demonstrates his vast understanding of science through the creation of various devices that allow for the opening of wormholes and portals (usually to his homeworld). So far, despite Kat's success in opening a wormhole/portal, he has yet to make full use of it, as Coop and Dennis have managed to foil his plans every time.

Extraterrestrial Communication

Kat has made several attempts to communicate with his alien bretheren, with limited success. Typically all communication is done via his damaged collar, with the odd makeshift attachment here and there.
