With dogs, breeds are often used as a shorthand for personality stereotypes. Cat breeds are rarely as distinctive as dog breeds (certain exceptions like the Persian and the Siamese notwithstanding) — see This Index Meows for more about cats other than stereotypes only. So when writers want to use a cat's visual appearance to denote its personality they usually rely on its color and its fur length.
When a white cat is paired with an orange, black or black-and-white cat, the white cat is usually female and the non-white cat is usually male. The monochrome type of pairing— black or black-and-white with white— is more common in cartoons made in The Golden Age of Animation.
Long-haired cats, usually Persians and Angoras, are often portrayed as prestigious or high-class.
In fiction, whenever there are kitten sibling characters, they usually each have a different fur color. A black or gray kitten, an orange kitten, and a white kitten seem to be most popular for triplet kittens, essentially serving as a feline equivalent of Blonde, Brunette, Redhead.
Sometimes, a cat's breed is used to determine its personality by making it a kind of voiced ethnic or nationality stereotype, especially if the name of the breed has a country in it. This often has little to do with how the breed really acts, as anyone who has cats will attest. Breed stereotypes are rarely done with cats since breed variations aren't always as striking and well known. However, a handful of cat breeds do have consistent stereotypes associated with them in fiction, as can be seen below.

In Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats:
In "The Song of the Jelicles", Jellicle cats are black-and-white, and fit the "even-tempered and placid" stereotype ... until the Jellicle Moon rises and they go to the Jellicle Ball.
In "The Old Gumbie Cat", Jennyanydots' coat "is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots" and she kind of fits the "hyperactive" stereotype, being a bustling Apron Matron, with multiple projects on the go to civilise the household pests.

Felicia from The Great Mouse Detective is a huge, bloated Angora that acts as Professor Ratigan's personal enforcer. She devours Bartholomew, and thoroughly masticates Fidget, two minions to Ratigan that displeased him. Felicia displays pampered cat haughtiness at the bloodhound Tobey, lifting her tail at him, just before receiving Laser-Guided Karma.

Cats: Most of the cats don't fit any colour stereotypes but, in the video version, there are three cats who do:
Victoria is the only all-white cat. Her role is performed mainly through dance, where she's implied to be a symbol of grace and innocence, and is extremely sensitive to the moods around her. Her coming-of-age moment sends all the cats into a frenzy. In the filmed stage production, her dance and reaction scenes are often paired with the black Mistoffelees for colour contrast.
Skimbleshanks is a ginger tom. He's an engaging, cheeky cat who has a reputation for being the hero of the railways; the cats believe the trains only run smoothly because Skimbleshanks is there to keep the humans in line and on the job by either fixing all the problems that crop up or alerting the humans to issues so that they can fix the problems in time. His one flaw is described as being his temper, which gets triggered by disorder; he can be quite draconian about ensuring everything and everyone is kept in order so that the trains can run smoothly.
Mistoffelees is the only all-black cat, described as being black from his ears to the tip of his tail. He is the most mystical cat, capable of manipulating light, telekinesis and producing electricity from his paws. He is implied to have some hypnosis, illusion and voice-throwing abilities, he does possess a psychic sixth sense, and is revealed to be capable of teleporting others or himself. In the Invitation to the Jellicle Ball, his dance is paired with the all-white Victoria for colour contrast. The realities of stage and film production, where lighting tends to wash out all-black costumes, means that the Mistoffelees cat is usually portrayed as a tuxedo cat to bring the costume to life, even though his description as an all-black cat rarely changes. In these cases, his tuxedo appearance mimics that of a stereotypical stage magician to emphasise his mystical nature.

The Aristocats features the rare example of colorful ethnic cat breed stereotypes, featuring a Russian cat (Billy Boss), a Siamese (Shun Gon), an English cat (Hit Cat), and an Italian cat (Peppo). However, in terms of outlook and personality, they were all pretty much beatniks/hippies, and they played the ethnic stereotypes up a lot more than the cat breed ones (Shun Gon, for example, had buck teeth, played the piano with chopsticks, and at one point slammed a cymbal onto his head like a coolie hat).

Tom and Jerry:
Tom, a grayish-blue cat with white patches, while famously and memorably buffoonish and clownish, he was sometimes shown as lazy or mean, and did sometimes torment Jerry for fun, but it depended on the episode.
If Tom likes a molly, she will almost always be completely white-furred.

Storm From the Shadows introduces Honorverse readers to Dicey, an enormous Maine Coon. (At least, Michelle Henke thinks he's a Maine Coon; he's of rather indeterminate origin.) Dicey was "adopted" (read: won at a game of cards) by Henke's steward, Chris Billingsley, hence his name. He fits the "tough survivor" breed stereotype perfectly, when he's not busy demanding affection from his chosen humans, Michelle herself first among them. He also has a penchant for stealing doughnuts.

Miraculous Ladybug:
Plagg is a spirit that resembles a black cat, and has many of the stereotypical traits. He's the literal incarnation of bad luck and destruction, mysterious, laid-back, sarcastic, and has a tendency to wander around and poke at things.
Plagg's master, Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir, being a human superhero with a black cat motif, arguably fits the sociable, good-natured, companionable part of the stereotype.

Being a mutant cat, Master Shard in Shards of a Memory has plenty of small quirks that reflect this. She purrs when she's comfortable, she licks those she's protective of, she has a taste for fish, catnip is banned from the lair due to an undisclosed Noodle Incident and she claws on their tree and plays with yarn when she thinks no one is looking. It is also implied that since the life-expectancy of a cat is much shorter than a human, she ages much faster.

Varjak Paw:
Varjak and his family are purebred cats of the fictional "Mesopotamian Blue" breed. For all effects, the breed seems to be the Russian Blue in all but name (down to their green eyes). Varjak's siblings and parents fit the "snooty, lazy gray/blue cat" stereotype. They're pampered pets who look down upon non-Mesopotamian Blues. Varjak himself isn't like his family, being the White Sheep with brown eyes and a more open personality.
Sally Bones is the leader of a local gang of strays. She's mysterious and terrifying. Sally is completely white with Icy Blue Eyes, averting stereotypes. She plays off the Ethereal White Dress trope, not the "nice, white cat" stereotype.
Varjak is forced to flee his house when two Creepy Twins invade it with their master. They're both black furred cats.
Varjak's friend Holly is a resortful and snarky white stray cat with black patches.
Dark brown Tam averts the stereotypes. She's a friendly, if cowardly, cat.

Stray:
As a young cat, Pufftail once tried to court a pretty white Persian called Princess. It turns out that she preferred a chubby, aging tom over Puffftail and thought of Pufftail as an Abhorrent Admirer. Pufftail considers her a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing but, due to Unreliable Narrator, it's unclear whether she was leading him on or whether he just didn't notice she wasn't into him.
Pufftail briefly mentions a spoiled female Siamese named Millicent. She looked down upon her owners as servants.

Gatomon from Digimon Adventure follows the White Cat sterotype a little: Generally good, female, and often paired with an orange friend. Subverts it that's she not upper class or rich, and instead of an orange cat, she's paired up with an orange hamster/bat thing.

Guardian Cats and the Lost Books of Alexandria:
Baitengirth, or "Bait" as he's usually known, is a Russian Blue with a Preppy Name. He's an intelligent, refined stray cat who previously lived with a rich owner and won several cat show awards. He was thrown out onto the streets when he got into a fight with his owner's new Persian kitten. Later on it's revealed that Bait is actually Cicero's previous successor before Marco. He was dismissed because he was too self-centered and cruel to be a Guardian. Bait still holds onto his resentment and wants revenge after Cicero replaces him with Marco. Cicero notes that most of Bait's dignified appearance is just a characteristic of Russian Blue's rather than a personal trait of Bait's.
Caffeina is a young white Persian stray. She likes reading Cat Fashion and is a bit spoiled, but still sweet.
Tweezer is a Maine Coone and acts as The Big Guy of the Dead Cats Society. He's a rough-seeming stray with a Dark and Troubled Past, but he's actually nice once you get to know him.

The Ren & Stimpy Show: Stimpy is a fire-engine red cat, and the nicest character on the show who portrays the stereotypes of being the red-furred protagonist who is humble, friendly, lazy, the comic-relief (if not particularly bright by exception) and is called an "fat bloated eediot" for a reason, and has a white or off-white front of his snout to his belly and has Innocent Blue Eyes.
The Jimmy Durante cat he's partly based on, in the Looney Tunes short "A Gruesome Twosome", is an aversion of this stereotype.

Chi's Sweet Home: Chi fits the "friendly" and "hyperactive" tabby stereotypes. Kuroino/Blackie is a black cat, but his personality seems to be a mix of the "orange" and "gray" stereotypes.

Some Pokémon play with the cat breed stereotypes, such as Zangoose playing the mean Persian cat stereotype straight (although it's mainly based on a mongoose, it still resembles a Persian cat), Espurr being an affectionate Scottish Fold with Psychic Thousand-Yard Stare, and Leafeon averting the Siamese cat stereotype, being more in line with the more-affectionate portrayal of real-life Siamese cats. Perrserker is a Norwegian Forest Cat with a Viking motif.

Sebastian is often in the care of Alexandra, the troupe's Token Evil Teammate, who has a white streak herself, and like Alexandra, Sebastian is guileful and subversive. Fortunately, Sebastian never slips into evil territory, remaining Lawful Neutral by using his guile to subvert villains.

Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch is traditionally a completely orange cat. However, due to the 90s show he is always black nowadays, usually with some sort of white markings. He's a sarcastic, somewhat mischievous cat. Salem is actually a warlock cursed to live as a cat due to the crimes he committed (this is also a later retcanon change caused by the Live-Action Adaptation). He's also Sabrina's familiar.

Big Kitty is a Maine coon and a Gentle Giant.
Pretty Kitty is a white Turkish Angora and a beautiful upper-class priss.
Chatty Kitty is a Siamese, and while not particularly mean, she's pretty self-centered and won't stop talking about her daily life.

The film Jiji, a black shorthaired cat. He fulfills the black cat stereotype of being Kiki's familiar and being snarky, especially in the English dub, but is quite friendly.

Bad Luck Blackie plays around with the idea of the unlucky black cat. The eponymous Blackie uses his bad luck to protect a whitish shaded silver kitten (gender undetermined) from a Bully Bulldog. In the end the bulldog neutralizes the bad luck by painting Blackie white, but the white kitty paints himself black and gives the dog his comeuppance.

The "black cats are bad luck" stereotype is discussed in Luck (2022). Major character Bob is a black cat from the Land of Luck, but as he's a Scottish black cat he's considered good luck. It's eventually revealed that he's not Scottish and thus actually falls into the stereotype; he faked his good luck status (and Scottish accent) after finding a lucky penny and taping it under his collar.

The Cat Who... Series: The Siamese stereotype of being mean is subverted with Koko; like real life Siamese, he tends to be bright, friendly, inquisitive, and mouthy.

The Friends episode "The One With The Ball" had Rachel get a sphinx cat called Mrs Whiskerton, which she becomes convinced actively hates her. However, it's mentioned that the reason Rachel bought Mrs Whiskerton is because her grandmother owned a very affectionate sphinx that Rachel had loved.

Salem the warlock-turned-cat in Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a snarky black cat familiar to the titular teenage witch, Sabrina. Interestingly, Salem from the Sabrina the Teenage Witch comic book is traditionally an orange cat (though the original oneshot had him as a black cat) but in the 90s was made into a black cat to match the live-action adaptation.

The Stuart Little movies have Snowball, a white Persian, who doesn't really fit either of those types exactly: he'd like to think he's high-class and refined, but really isn't, and personality-wise he's more of a gray (though he starts off as a villain before his Heel–Face Turn).

Sailor Moon has Luna, who subverts the usual black cat by being very much a good kitty; both she and Artemis are both examples of The Mentor so he fills that white cat stereotype but not really any others except possibly the 'rich' one as his 'owner' Minako Aino's family is shown living in a large house like Usagi's (Luna's 'owner') which in central Tokyo, and in the Azabu-Juuban Ward in particular means you are quite well off but as it's never played up (compared to the cat-less, but cat-loving, Ami Mizuno) he doesn't really fit that one. Their daughter, Diana, is gray and fits the mischievous stereotype.

Tabitha from HouseBroken is a Persian and starts the series a pampered, stuck-up beauty queen. She becomes more of a Defrosting Ice Queen as the series develops.

Naota's cat in FLCL fits the old, fat, and lazy gray cat stereotype.
