Cats Are Mean. Not only that, but they're also little balls of teeth and claws in a relatively small size, and a propensity to cling to objects, possibly while scratching it as best they can. And they tend to get very angry when handled roughly.
All of this makes them a wonderful projectile weapon. Forget the Bee-Bee Gun, terrify your enemies with the Cat-apult!â„¢
Expect to see Amusing Injuries in the form of tiny cuts to the face, where the cats will inevitably attach themselves. Variants include swinging a cat around like a melee weapon, or using a cat that can launch its own weapons.
A primarily comedic subtrope of Abnormal Ammo. Related to That Poor Cat. When an actual catapult is involved, it's usually a Visual Pun.

In the film version of Coraline, the title character throws a cat at the Other Mother in order to buy herself time to run away. The cat makes it out alive, but he gives Coraline a cross look when they meet each other again in the human world.

Garfield's Christmas Tales: In the second chapter, "The Great Snowball Fight", Garfield comes to U.S. Acres for the holiday season, only to find Orson, Roy, and Wade being pelted with snowballs by Gort, Wart, and Mort, Orson's three mean older brothers. When one of the pigs pelts Garfield with a snowball, he vows revenge and teams up with Orson, Roy, and Wade to build a catapult, with which to take down Gort, Wart, and Mort. When Garfield's team runs out of snowballs, they resort to launching Garfield, allowing him to easily take down the pigs.

In Umineko: Golden Fantasia, one of Bernkastel's attacks is to use her cat minions as projectiles. She kind of does it in Umineko: When They Cry too, although they "fly" rather than being thrown.

Awesomenauts brings us Derpl Zork, astoundingly dim-witted heir to Zork Industries. When asked what form of devastation should be issued forth from his mighty combat walker, he simply drooled and said "I wuv cats". Thus came the holo-cat cannon. Yes, holographic cats.
