"Miss Kitty" is an older woman who runs a brothel. She's charismatic when necessary, but has no tolerance for rowdiness in her establishment and very often has a shotgun handy to make certain that her policy is enforced. She goes out of her way to make certain that no-one mistreats her girls, and she runs a tight ship with them as well. She acts as mother-confessor for anyone in town and always has time to provide people with advice and common-sense wisdom. Occasionally, Preacher Man berates her for operating a Den of Iniquity, but most of the time he accepts her business as a necessary evil (assuming he's not secretly a regular customer). Initially, Bowdlerization restricted her activities to running a saloon or burlesque house of dance hall girls, with only the implication that the women are actually prostitutes. In the 1950s, this was used as a justification to add a fanservicey burlesque song to a film. In today's media, it's usually much more obvious that she's running a brothel with ancillary booze service. If the two are close in age, she will be the love interest of The Sheriff or the U.S. Marshal. She is the employer of the saloon girl and The Piano Player. The Bartender is always her trusted subordinate, if she employs one. Miss Kitty is a staple of The Wild West and other types of frontier fiction. In fact, the trope was so pervasive in Western Canada in the post-World War I era that the phrasing "Miss Firstname" was (and to some extent, still is) used only to refer to madams and whores. This naturally surprises visitors from the southern US, for whom this phrasing is a respectable way to refer to mature women. Hilarity can ensue. The Trope Namer is Miss Kitty, the proprietor of the Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City in Gunsmoke. Should not be confused with the burlesque dancer in The Great Mouse Detective or former WWE Diva Stacy Carter, who used this name before changing it to The Kat. Has nothing to do with Cat Girl. |

Angel: In the episode “War Zone�, Angel visits the high class demon bordello "Madam Dorian's" to investigate one of its clients being blackmailed. The Madam is happy to help them in order to preserve her business' reputation for privacy. In “Couplet�, Angel and Groo visit a human but supernaturally enchanted bordello to obtain a sexual charm for Cordelia from its' sorceress Madam (the plan being that they would find ex-cop Kate Lochley from the first 2 seasons working there as a hooker but Elizabeth Rohm couldn't get time off 'Law and Order' to make the cameo). |

In the Bardic Voices series, the Madam of the brothel that Rune gets a job at (as a musician playing in the common room) goes by the name of Amber. (Not her real name, just the name that all madams of that brothel goes by). She is a nice person and cares for all her employees, from the serving girls and boys in the common room to the ladies working upstairs. | |

Bart discovers and eventually ends up working for one of these women on The Simpsons. (Her business is called a burlesque house but it's heavily implied to be a brothel.) Even though the show is set in modern America, the matron of the house plays this trope completely straight and makes Marge look foolish by comparison. This episode led to the Awesome Music — "We put the *spring* in Springfield." | |

Discworld: Mrs. Rosie Palm is one, having risen to President of the Seamstresses' Guild of Ankh-Morpork after working as a Seamstress herself. Seamstresses are referred to as "Miss" while the head of the guild is "Mrs". This causes Sir Samuel Vimes to commit a minor gaff in Night Watch when he travels back in time and comes across Rosie and calls her Mrs. Palm. At that point she was just another working girl and corrected him that it is Miss Palm. | |

Mama Mabel from Luke Cage (2016). She's long dead in the present day, but she was Mariah Stokes' grandmother and Harlem's crimeboss in the 70's and 80's by way of running a brothel out of her house and selling illegal arms. And, not unusual for a brothel madam, she used her resources to provide for the community (turkeys for Thanksgiving, disposing of abusive boyfriends, etc.), ensuring that she was loved and feared. She also has ties to a few other characters across the MCU Netflix shows, such as putting Benjamin Donovan—lawyer to Mariah and Kingpin—through law school, and Piranha was born to one of Mabel's girls and a customer. | |

Fallout: New Vegas has "Pretty" Sarah. Once she was pretty... before she was burned and raped by the Fiend leader Cook-Cook and not necessarily in that order. She now lives in the Casa Madrid Apartments in Westside acting as a madam for her three prostitutes. She may be burned, but she's much tougher than she looks and never likes people messing with her "merchandise". That .44 magnum is not just there for show. | |

On Adam Ruins Everything, Adam debunks the notion that the founding of the Wild West was all the doing of gritty white male cowboys. He meets up with a saloon owner named Pearl, and an actual historian, who explain that the towns on the Frontier were basically work camps, with no women. When women did come to the West, some of them found that there was a market for sex (and not many other options open to women)...and that it was a very lucrative one. The prostitutes of the Old West used their newfound wealth and power to transform those settlements from work camps to cities with schools, hospitals, etc. The gritty white male cowboy Adam was talking to is shocked and appalled. | |

Yakuza: Like a Dragon has Hamako, the proprietress of an establishment in Yokohama that is a restaurant...officially. Unofficially, the only food offered is tea and some small snacks. The main attraction of her "restaurant" is the working ladies. She provides Ichiban Kasuga official residency in her establishment to provide him with a legal address to find employment after he is exiled from the yakuza, as well as to exploit a legal loophole that makes it harder to crack down on her extralegal enterprise. | |

Little Dogs on the Prairie gives this a wink-and-nod reference, despite being a religious series; one of the main characters is introduced as Miss Kitty, here to run the local saloon — then she clarifies that it's Kittey, and she's here for the salon. She's a hairdresser. Still, she has the "heart of gold" aspect down. | |

Stella "The Midnight Star" in Silverado. Unlike other examples she wasn't forced into the life by circumstance, she chose it because the night life most suited her. Hence the nickname: "She's always there but she only shines at night." | |

In The Lone Ranger (2013), Red is the one-legged owner of a brothel John and Tonto investigate. Her ivory prosthetic hides a shotgun in the heel which she uses to blow out an overly grabby client's chair. She only runs the brothel because her career as a ballerina was brutally ended when it's implied that Butch Cavendish ate her leg. | |

In the Assassin's Creed games that take place in Renaissance Italy, Ezio finds allies in various brothel madams throughout Italy. Period setting notwithstanding, these women fit the Miss Kitty bill as shrewd, intelligent businesswomen who genuinely care about the women in their employ and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. At one point, Ezio's own mother and sister become madams of a brothel in Rome, in order to feed information to the Assassins. | |
