In an evil contrast to how much Heroes Love Dogs, Diabolical Masterminds are cat people. If they don't have a face, they will usually have a pet cat, usually some shade of white or black, sitting on their desk or in their lap, that they stroke as they describe their Evil Plan. Why do bad guys like cats? Maybe because Cats Are Mean — they kill birds and mice, just so they can offer you the corpse. Cats are lap-sized and perfect to pet while scheming. Or maybe it's because Cats Are Superior and believe they are entitled to be worshiped and revered by humans, or deserve to Take Over the World themselves. Dogs are faithful and loyal, but cats are fickle with a superiority complex. Villains and cats just fit. It's the perfect accessory for a Card-Carrying Villain, especially the Crazy Cat Lady type. The Big Bad's Right-Hand Cat will have varying degrees of a personality depending on the context of the series. Some will display sentient facial expressions and even an evil laugh, showing a morality in sync with their master's. Some just sit and look pretty - as stoic as ever, yawning and purring like any other ordinary pet. Even in animation, the cat will probably never speak, but it will almost always have a name. This may stem from the tradition that All Witches Have Cats and often use cats as their familiars. Sometimes prone to the cat being a Morality Pet or biting back and run a Heel–Face Door-Slam if the Big Bad doesn't dispose it. In more-modern settings, this kind of villain will be probably part of an Animal Wrongs Group. See Kindhearted Cat Lover for heroic examples when a character's fondness for cats shows they're a good person, or at least not all bad. Cardinal Richelieu was a famous cat-lover (he owned 14 cats at the time of his death) — and got a Historical Villain Upgrade since Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers. Some adaptations picture him petting a white cat while scheming, making Richelieu the likely Trope Maker. Pirate captains will have a Pirate Parrot instead, while Rich Bitches have spoiled lap dogs. See also Feather Boa Constrictor. Please note that Right-Hand Cat at its core refers to passive evil pets, feline or otherwise. If the pet is also an active fighter, it belongs in Right-Hand Attack Dog, even if it is a cat. |

The Dirty Harry parody Sledge Hammer! has one episode where a crime boss is always seen with a cat and ends up throwing the cat out of the window when he is upset. It is not surprising when Sledge kicks him out the window at the end of the episode (and even more ironically, the cat lands safely on the crime boss' chair). | |

In the kung fu film Kid From Kwangtung, the main villain owns a black cat, which he strokes in numerous scenes while watching his minions kill off Redshirts, in a rather obvious nod to Blofeld. When the villain get into fights though, the black cat somehow remains in his hands without being scared off. | |

House, in one episode of season 4, deals with Death Cat. To confuse his team, he puts it on his lap, plays with a cigar, and says, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." More than one Bond fan has noted that this was said by Goldfinger, not Blofeld, though he gets Blofeld's mannerisms pretty well. | |

James Bond: Licence to Kill Big Bad Franz Sanchez is sometimes seen with an iguana. It even has a little diamond necklace, which might be a call back to the one Blofeld's cat had in Diamonds Are Forever. Parodied in No Time to Die. Big Bad Lyustifer Safin kidnaps Madeline Swann and her 5 year-old daughter Mathilde and brings them to his island. When Bond arrives at the island to rescue them and destroy the nanobots inside, he meets Safin who is sitting on his chair with Mathilde right next to him while stroking her hair Blofeld-style. |

Dr. Cox also makes use of this trope when confronting a pediatric physician in his office full of toys (sorry, collectibles), by stroking a plush white Persian cat. |

I'm surprised we don't get cats to pet and mustaches to twirl." The other O5 replies that she used to have a pet cat, but she gave it up when she joined the Council, presumably either because she would be too busy to care for it or because having a pet was seen as a security risk. | |

Discworld: Parodied in the series, when Lord Vetinari, a Magnificent Bastard dictator who began as a sort of Blofeld spoof, had an old terrier called Wuffles, even though other characters and the narrator had him pegged as the "white-cat-stroking type". In the Time Travel Prequel Night Watch, the young Vetinari's aunt has a Right-Hand Cat, but it's a borderline-feral and rather flatulent moggy, which Vetinari feels isn't really appropriate. He even thinks it should be a long-haired white cat. Evil Harry Dread, a wannabe-dark lord from The Last Hero, had intended to play this trope straight, but found out he's allergic to cats. The closest he could come was a fluffy white hamster in a diamante treadmill. |

In Final Fantasy XIV, Quickthinx Allthoughts, the leader of the Goblin Illuminati responsible for summoning Alexander, is almost always accompanied by his black courel kitten, Shanoa. Even when he's battling the Warriors of Light, he allows Shanoa to roam around the battlefield for morale support. In fact, one of the most important mechanics of the battle is preventing said morale boost from reaching Quickthinx (via destroying the floating heart which personifies it). | |

If it is killed, Kel'thuzad gets quite upset with the players and threatens to send the Scourge to hunt them down. Notably, it's one of the few times you can hear Kel'Thuzad being genuinely angry. If you collect the specified vanity pets you can get Mr. Bigglesworth as a pet for yourself! For pet battles he is classified as an undead creature, but with a mix of undead, elemental and beastly attacks. |

Green Lantern: Atrocitus, leader of the Red Lantern Corps has an interesting use of the trope in his fellow Red Lantern Dex-Starr, who is a cat from Earth who earned a Red Lantern Ring thanks to his backstory, so he's pretty inteligent for a normal housecat, and as such, is not a pet, but an equal member of the corps. Despite this, Atrocitus seems pretty fond of him and is not uncommon to find him petting the cat and calling him a good kitty. Also adding to the subversion, is that the Red Lanterns aren't really bad guys as much as really, REALLY violent anti-heroes. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Lord Shojo pretends to consult his cat, "Mr. Scruffy", as part of his pretense of senility. An inversion in any case, since Shojo is a good guy. Of course, Mr. Scruffy now appears to have become a genuine Right-Hand Cat to the Heroic Comedic Sociopath Belkar. | |

James Bond: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, as pictured above. His ever-present fluffy white Persian is probably the Trope Codifier, being responsible for most, if not all, of the parodies and references listed on this page. This is actually due to his face being hidden from the audience in the first few movies, so there was greater focus on his pet that you'd normally have, to give the camera something to look at. A Funny Background Event shows that while the base in You Only Live Twice is being attacked, the cat is dead scared and trying to escape Blofeld's grasp!note As you can imagine, this wasn't acting by the cat; it became startled by the pyrotechnics and ran off, and it actually took the film crew several days of searching before they found the poor thing hiding in the rafters. Apparently, the cat also had a rather nasty habit of relieving itself on Donald Pleasence's lap during filming. It goes one step further in the opener to For Your Eyes Only — when Bond gains control of the helicopter and comes after the Blofeld expy, his cat promptly runs off! There was a Bond comic strip for a while, where Blofeld's daughter was running SPECTRE. She also had a cat, albeit a black one (probably drawing on another trope). Diamonds Are Forever plays with this a little, when Bond confronts Blofeld and his Body Double. Unsure of which is which, Bond kicks the white Persian in the room and shoots the one it jumps to for safety. Sadly, it doesn't work, as there's more than one cat too. Sanchez in Licence to Kill has a Right Hand....iguana. Same general idea only reptilian. In Spectre, Franz Oberhauser has a white cat hanging around his torture chamber. It's an early hint that he's actually this continuity's Blofeld. |

Mildly parodied in Danny Phantom, to the point of Running Gag status. In several episodes of the first two seasons, Danny encourages his arch enemy, Vlad, to get a cat, to which he usually gives an emphatic "No!", but lo and behold, the second episode of the third season had him sitting in his study, petting — what else — a white cat, named after Danny's mother, Maddie. | |

In 1956, even before Blofeld made it cool, back in the original book of The Hundred and One Dalmatians, Cruella de Vil had a white Persian cat, as opposed to the heroic dog-loving Dearlys. When they actually met the cat, Pongo and Perdita Missis found she was actually nice (we had already learned of Cruella's drowning of her kittens — as if that woman needed extra Kick the Dog credentials). She then joined the dogs in wrecking Cruella's private fur collection. | |

The Thrawn Trilogy: The comic book version often depicts Grand Admiral Thrawn cradling and stroking a ysalamiri, a nearly vegetative lizard creature, like it's a cat, when in the books he carries one in a nutrient frame strapped to his back or connected to his command chair. Ysalamiri negate the powers of his psychotic Dark Jedi ally, and occasionally he reaches up and strokes it to remind C'baoth that he can't be choked, electrocuted, or charmed, but he doesn't carry one around in his arms or on his lap. You can't really do that with ysalamiri. Plus, they smell. Still, the depiction is universal enough that it's practically an extension of his Iconic Outfit. | |

ReBoot: Hexadecimal, as an insane anthropomorphism of a computer virus, somewhat inexplicably, has a small round cute thing with a feline face called Scuzzy (as in a pun on "SCSI") as a pet. In one episode, Bob and Mike the TV find to their horror and sorrow that Scuzzy also doubles as Hexadecimal's Right-Hand Attack Dog: one that can grow impossibly large, move very fast, has very sharp teeth, and can clone itself as necessary. Her male counterpart, Megabyte, has Nibbles, a slug-like creature that was formerly sentient but reduced to that form after losing a game. Nibbles used to be, in a sense, Megabyte's father. Nibbles is the Null of Doctor Matrix, the father of Enzo and Dot, and the designer of the Gateway Command. |

A few Kim Possible villains have toyed with the concept of the Right-Hand Cat: Gemini, the most straightforwardly "Bondish" villain on the show, has a yappy pet Chihuahua named Pepe. Camille Leon, who is a parody of Paris Hilton as a shapeshifting villainess, has a Sphinx cat named Debutante, who lives in her designer handbag. Ron Stoppable, when he is changed into a villain in "Bad Boy", takes to stroking a confused Rufus in a Blofeld-esque manner during a hand-wringing rant. |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Russia has a cat — the only animal that doesn't flee from him — but oddly enough, he is never depicted stroking it (though he does pet him with apparently genuine affection), and whether he's actually evil is up for debate. Not to mention, he's not the only cat-owning nation-tan. Japan is seen feeding his own cat Tama/Japaneko, and it's implied that most if not all the other Nekotalia cats belong to their corresponding nations. |

Whether he would be as cruel as most other kings in the setting, we won't know as he kills himself in season six.

Twisted Wonderland Mozus Trein is not a bad person, just a Stern Teacher, but he's based on Lady Tremaine from Disney's Cinderella, so he's often accompanied by his perpetually frowning cat Lucius, even in class. Fellow Honest, eventually revealed as the Arc Villain of the Playful Land event, is accompanied by the Cat Boy Gidel who's complicit in his wrongdoing. |

In a surprisingly not-over-the-top example from Warhammer 40,000, select special characters have pets that accompany them onto the battlefield. Inquisitor Torquemada and Space Wolves' Njal Stormcalle both have android eagles. The Chaos Lord Huron Blackheart has his Hamadrya, a demonic Familiar, and some Chaos Sorcerors also take them as well. These are actually reasonably logical in the setting. | |

The geese, part of the castle's security system, have been shown to be very ill-tempered, and the one in Luna's lap, while calmed, is giving the rest of the room the evil eye. This is all Played for Laughs, of course, as Luna is a Friendly Rival. | |

Spoofed in the "Secret Service Dentists" sketch on Monty Python's Flying Circus: "I'm glad you could all come to my little party. And Flopsy's glad, too. Aren't you Flopsy?" When the villain doesn't get a response, he shoots Flopsy and says "That'll teach you to play hard to get. Well, poor Flopsy's dead, and he never called me mother." Although Flopsy was a rabbit, not a cat, it still sorta works. | |

In Beast Wars, Megatron's Right-Hand Cat is his... actual hand. In two of the three forms he uses over the series (So Last Season at work), his beast-mode head is his robot-mode arm. He actually pets it at times, and at one point, when he's "asleep", the head-hand is looking around on its own. Near the end of the series, he turns from the monitor he's watching, the head-hand turns toward it, and tracks back and forth as things happen onscreen. He also has his rubber ducky. | |

Police Squad!: The TV comedy has fun with this one in a few episodes, including one scene where a man is stroking a white cat until someone enters his office, at which point he casually puts the cat away in a desk drawer. He has a puppy in another desk drawer, not to mention a flock of doves in his filing cabinet. The Boss is first shown via a Blofeld-style lap-cam pointing at his cat, until he gets tired of this and leans down to speak directly into the camera. |

One episode gives him A Day in the Limelight when Roger makes Doug look after him while Roger's away. He trashes the house, and eats pizza and ice cream, and is generally nasty. Then, he gets sick and Doug freaks out, thinking that this is because he let the cat get its own way, and worries about what Roger will do... turns out, he was neither sick nor a "he". She was pregnant. | |

Transmetropolitan: Gary "The Smiler" Callahan at one point notes that he wants a cat so he can keep and stroke it like a bond villain. This happens at the opening of a Motive Rant where he's revealed to be a misanthropic monster who wants to fuck over America for his own entertainment, making its connection to this trope even stronger. Spider, meanwhile, has a cat... A three-eyed, two-mouthed, chain-smoking mutant cat who loves urinating at Spider when he's having a bad day. Spider does, at one point, treat her as a right-hand cat during "Spider's Trash", but otherwise she serves more as a walking Pet the Dog moment for the otherwise Jerkass Spider. |

Fidelia Lapointe of Never Satisfied has Duchess, her ocelot familiar. Even though familiars are independent people from their magicians, Lapointe treats Duchess like a cross between a pet and a stuffed animal, setting a teacup on her head or clenching her fist in anger while petting her. | |

In the book 1633 (in which an American town is transported to 17th-c. Europe), the people of Grantville send Cardinal Richelieu a Siamese cat as a "diplomatic offering". He takes it and strokes it in exactly the way described here. (Persians evidently were introduced in Europe in 1620 according to T.O.W., so one of them wouldn't have been quite as impressive a gift, though a modern Persian's appearance is evidently very different-looking to those times'.) | |

Subverted in the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers Five-Episode Pilot, wherein Fat Cat debuts as Chlordane's Right-Hand Cat, only to become a villain in his own right for the rest of the series (while Chlordane is never heard from again). Even during the pilot, after helping Chlordane steal a ruby, Fat Cat steals the ruby from Chlordane for his own purposes, making sure to return it before its absence is noticed. | |

What the fat cat in FLCL actually was is unclear, but Haruko spends a remarkable amount of time and attention on it. Apparently, she was using it to communicate with her boss. For those unfamiliar with FLCL, don't even try to work out how said communication is supposed to in any way work. | |

In the Captain Future novels by Allen Steele, Ul Quorn discovered a shapeshifting alien creature called Oog that gets adopted by the Futuremen for a while. In The Guns of Pluto the Futuremen are captured by Ul Quorn who takes back Oog for himself. While he's stroking Oog on his lap, Ul Quorn complains that he used to be able to get Oog to shapeshift into a white Persian cat, but it doesn't seem to want to anymore. Captain Future then sends a telepathic command to Oog to shapeshift into a porcupine, making the Big Bad shout in pain and distract everyone at a crucial moment. | |
