The Cat Came Back	comment	No matter how hard you try to get away from a person, there they are ahead of you. A comic version of Offscreen Teleportation. The trope is named after the song and cartoon The Cat Came Back, where a man desperately tries to get rid of a cat, but no matter what he does to get rid of the thing, the cat comes back "the very next day" (and brings massive misfortune to anyone who tried to take it away). With just a tiny tweaking, such a plot can easily go from comedic into horror territory: variations of the story of the demon (or corpse, or spoon-wielding killer) you just can't get rid of, no matter what you try... If you're dealing with an object of similar tenacity, see Clingy MacGuffin. For characters who keep coming back after being killed off, see Death Is Cheap. For people you can't get rid of even temporarily, see The Thing That Would Not Leave. Also may overlap with Joker Immunity, when a hero can never dispatch a villain for good. Not to be confused with The Bus Came Back, The Cat Returns, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, or The Cat That Came Back (an alternate title for Ghost Cat).

The Cat Came Back / int_1b49ce18	comment	A major plotline in The Aristocats. After greedy butler Edgar abandons the titular cats in the French countryside, he assumes they're lost for good, unaware that they've met friendly animals that helped them find their way back home. Upon arriving back at the house in the climax, Edgar is in disbelief they returned, and decides to mail them to Timbuktu to ensure they won't come back again.

After learning that Tom might be eligible for a million dollars as long as he avoids inflicting any physical pain on any other animal, including mice, Jerry takes advantage of this by showing up everywhere Tom is in and deliberately annoys him every chance he gets. It gets to a point where Tom finally loses his temper and starts attacking Jerry, feeling that a million dollars isn't worth getting harassed by a mouse.

The Cat Came Back / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Bart and Lisa escape from Mr. Burns through a laundry chute, only to find him waiting for them when they hit the ground. Lampshaded when Bart incredulously points out that it's physically impossible for Burns to have arrived first. Mr. Burns gets another example when he uses the trapdoor in his office and the victims fall out of the ceiling in the same office, despite this being physically impossible. Burns simply responds exasperatedly "Oh, it's doing that thing again..." In a "Treehouse of Horror" episode, with Homer threatened by a psychotic Krusty doll; Homer drops the doll into a Bottomless Pit, but it comes back by riding back home under the car. In "Homer Loves Flanders", Homer finally starts to like Flanders... to the points that their roles end up getting reversed and Flanders tries as hard as he can to get Homer off his back. It doesn't work. In the episode "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story" Moe tosses Barney out of his bar only for Barney to immediately appear behind Moe in the bar. This scene has since become meme shorthand for reoccurring problems.

The Cat Came Back / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: In the short Yankee Doodle Daffy, Porky Pig is a talent agent trying to go on vacation, who first has to get away from Daffy Duck, who is trying to convince Porky that his young client "Sleepy LaGoon" has star quality, mainly by demonstrating his apparent talents himself. A similarly-themed cartoon (Draftee Daffy) has Daffy trying to evade "The Little Man from the Draft Board", who even follows him into Hell. Subverted in the Bugs Bunny short Tortoise Beats Hare. It wasn't the original tortoise that kept inexplicably escaping Bugs' methods of leaving him behind. It was a series of identical tortoises which the first one bribed to screw with him. Pepe LePew. No matter where That Poor Cat goes, Pepe is there to hold her in his arms. That red hairy monster, Gossamer, is also quite persistent in following Bugs in that one cartoon. This also happened to Ralph Wolf, when he proved unable to evade Sam the Sheepdog. Like the Tortoise Beats Hare example listed above, it turned out that there were multiple Sams.

Then Raven states that if they touch the boys they will be contaminated with cooties as well, and she and Starfire attempt to touch Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. The boys leave the tower to go hide somewhere in the city, but no matter where they hide, Raven and Starfire find them. The boys get cornered in a bank vault and they get touched by the girls, and are contaminated by cooties, prompting Robin to admit that girls are better than boys and uses the cootie catcher to decontaminate themselves.

The Cat Came Back / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: The first book features the Dursleys being dogged by magical postal owls in this fashion. Taken to its logical conclusion in The Film of the Book, where Harry looks out the window, while Uncle Vernon is happily spouting about how "there's no post on Sunday." Their lawn, car, and roof are covered in owls, as are the neighbors' lawns, cars, and roofs, and their neighbors' lawns, cars, and roofs, and so on. The entire subdivision is besieged with owls, all to get Harry his acceptance letter. All while Hedwig's Theme plays quietly and cheekily in the background. Harry tends to have this problem with various admirers who mean well but make him very uncomfortable with their hero-worship. In Chamber of Secrets, Harry finds himself constantly followed by Colin Creevey, which leads to the poor kid getting petrified when he tried to visit Harry in the Hospital Wing at night. Ron, meanwhile, has this problem with Lavender Brown in the sixth book and there's a brief period of time when Harry has to also dodge Lavender, along with Cormac. Let us not forget Romilda Vane, she of the love potion which, by sequence of events, very nearly gets Ron killed.

The Cat Came Back / int_43f52aa9	comment	The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The Staff of the Everscamp compels whoever has it to never let go of it, and whoever holds it is followed by four daedric (demonic) scamps, though they do nothing more than follow the owner (and emit a terrible odor). The only way to get rid of the staff is for someone else to willfully take it, or to return it to its shrine. Consider this: You can kill them infinitely for the hell of it. You could literally set up an entire mini-story based around that staff... People also use it as a source of infinitely-spawning enemies for Level Grinding. But nothing in Oblivion has reached such memetic status as the aptly named Adoring Fan. After gaining notoriety in the Imperial City arena, he will begin to insist on following around and being completely freaking useless. If he dies, whether naturally or by "accident", he will respawn in the exact spot you first met him. Many players actually make something of a sport out of this, trying to find out just how many ways one might be able to kill him.

The Cat Came Back / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The early book The Light Fantastic has an extremely elderly wizard preparing an elaborate method of escaping Death. The last step is climbing into a tiny airtight box and locking it from the inside. Just as he settles down, he hears a voice in his ear: "Dark in here, isn't it?" Inverted with the Igors, who stay out of your way most of the time but appear behind you right when you need them. In Going Postal, an employer of an inquiring turn of mind stands in front of a bear trap and calls for his Igor. He hears the bear trap go off, then turns around to see an uninjured Igor holding the sprung trap. Igor tells him this isn't the first time, for him or for any Igor; one of his uncles was employed by a man who liked to stand with his back to a pit of spikes when he made the call. Then one day he forgot it was there. "Oh, how we laughed, marthter." In Going Postal, Moist von Lipwig finds that he is being relentlessly and cheerfully pursued by Mr. Pump, his parole officer. Mr. Pump, being a golem, has a definite advantage over Moist in that he never needs to eat, rest, or even breathe. Also shows up in Guards! Guards! which has the villain at the end of the book futilely fleeing from the supposedly imprisoned Vetinari. Discussed by Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax in Wyrd Sisters when they need to get rid of a crown, but are afraid that someone will find it sooner or later. Nanny compares it to a magic ring that, even if you throw it into the sea, will be right there waiting for you when you get home. Granny however claims this has never actually happened to either of them... but it does happen to Granny's student, Tiffany Aching, with a necklace, in Wintersmith.

Whiffle Hens are famous for their ability not to be contained or killed, and Lubry bet a million dollars that Castor can't kill Bernice. And he doesn't, though not for lack of trying. After a month's worth of strips featuring Castor trying to off Bernice in increasingly outlandish ways, Lubry leaves, taking Bernice with him. Initially relieved, Castor is stunned to find Bernice following him! As Lubry explains, this is because Bernice has taken a liking to Castor:

The Cat Came Back / int_53a0bd32	comment	The Twilight Zone (1959): Decidedly non-comedic example in the episode "The Hitch-Hiker", in which a young woman is taking a road trip by herself across a couple state lines. Her first day out, she sees a hitchhiker standing by the side of the road, thumb out, and after she passes him she keeps seeing him, state after state and night after night, until finally she panics, goes to a phone booth and calls her mother. Who thinks that she is a prank caller, because her daughter died in a car crash two weeks ago. When the woman gets back in the car, the hitchhiker is in the back seat, staring at her in the rearview mirror.

Eventually, her dog jumps onto the bus, while she yells at the driver to "get out of [her] life!" The driver replies "It's not your life, it's the life you could have had," and we learn that the woman and the dog were both hit by a car at the beginning of the episode. The dog is brought back to life and, had the woman had the courage to board the bus as well, she could have been revived. Instead, she fades away.

The Cat Came Back / int_60f02ddb	comment	American Dad!: This seems to be Roger's thing; if you have something he wants, or if you've slighted him, there is no escaping him. Happens when Hayley and Jeff are trying to flee from Roger, attempting to take the bag of money Stan gave to Jeff. Their attempts fail when Roger is right there where they're hiding. The escape ends in the Great Wall of China with Roger finally getting the money. That is, what was left of it: they spent most of it trying to get away from him. Also happens in the episode the family has a roast of Roger and he tries to kill them. Even going into space doesn't stop him from following them. Taken to a hilarious extreme in "The Worst Stan": Stan tries to kill a man by shooting him several times, throwing his body off a cliff, repeatedly running over the body in his car, feeding the remains to an alligator, shooting the alligator and having the skin made into boots, a belt and a handbag, and somehow he's absolutely fine in the next scene with no explanation aside from The Power of Love.

An anthropomorphic bird who was a gigantic geriatric named Gorgeous Gal fell in love with him instantly. In her mansion, she rode an escalator down towards him so she could greet the woodpecker with a big smooch. Woody liked her sexy voice but was turned off by her appearance. So he turned the escalator on full blast in reverse knocking her out of a window. He thinks he's rid of her but when he goes to sit down he winds up right on her lap. Woody tries to run away but Gorgeous appears behind every door he opens and every corner he turns ready for some flirting and kissing. Woody runs clear across the country and swims to a small island but Gorgeous Gal grabs him, marries him and presumably ravishes him in a golden submarine on their honeymoon.

The problem is, that his owners didn’t want him, so they tried to get rid of him every way that they could, but every single time, Perrito would come back, as loyal to his owners as he ever was. One day, they were fed up with him, so they wrapped him in a sock, tied it to a rock, and tried to drown him. Thankfully, Perrito survived, but he isn’t mad at his owners in the slightest.

We got a serious one in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: In "The Legend of Alice May", Mr. E uses Alice May in a ghost girl plot to give the gang a old Crystral Cove yearbook. In "Pawns of Shadows", the gang unmask the Oliberatax as Alice May.

Yossarian spends much of the second half of the book trying to escape Nately's Whore, going to such lengths as to take her up in a plane, fly over Italy, strap a parachute to her back and kick her out (over German held territory), only to return to Pianosa and find she's already waiting for him.

In "Jolly Lodgers", Squidward goes to Hotel Halibut for some alone time away from SpongeBob and Patrick while his house is being de-contaminated. However, SpongeBob and Patrick happen to be staying at the hotel as well, and Squidward is right between their rooms, because the hotel is hosting a jellyfishing convention which they want Squidward to come to. Not wanting to be bothered, Squidward tries to get away from them, but sadly wherever he goes, SpongeBob and Patrick show up in the hotel activity of his choice, prompting him to flee the scene. It is to the point the two start appearing in the hallways one after the other and cornering him until he enters the convention like they planned, and it never stops until Squidward tells pest control to evacuate the hotel in the end.

The Cat Came Back / int_c4282b71	comment	Pinkie Pie in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic does this so often it's practically a superpower: Happens to Rainbow Dash at the start of the episode "Griffon the Brush-Off", where Rainbow tries to avoid Pinkie Pie, only for Pinkie to follow her all across Ponyville. Hilariously, Dash is fleeing by air at near-supersonic speed while Pinkie is simply bouncing along at a casual pace. Pinkie does it to Dash again in "Party of One", while trying to find out why her friends are skipping one of her parties and why they're keeping it a secret — although this time Pinkie follows Dash at full gallop. Exaggerated (like most everything Pinkie Pie does) when Rainbow Dash hides inside the bell of the town bell tower. As she's clinging to the dark inside of the bell, the bell's "clapper" opens its eyes... In "A Friend in Deed", Pinkie gives Cranky Doodle Donkey this treatment when she chases him around Ponyville trying to get him to accept her apology for damaging his scrapbook. This includes the likes of putting on a beaver costume and actually chewing down a tree, and replacing a statue of Princess Celestia. Doodle actually wins the second chase by boarding up his house, although Pinkie still tries to squeeze in through his keyhole.

The Cat Came Back / int_cd6bad8a	comment	The Twilight Zone: The Twilight Zone (1959): Decidedly non-comedic example in the episode "The Hitch-Hiker", in which a young woman is taking a road trip by herself across a couple state lines. Her first day out, she sees a hitchhiker standing by the side of the road, thumb out, and after she passes him she keeps seeing him, state after state and night after night, until finally she panics, goes to a phone booth and calls her mother. Who thinks that she is a prank caller, because her daughter died in a car crash two weeks ago. When the woman gets back in the car, the hitchhiker is in the back seat, staring at her in the rearview mirror. The Twilight Zone (2002): A variant. A woman continually sees a bus driven by a creepy guy no matter where she goes. Eventually, her dog jumps onto the bus, while she yells at the driver to "get out of [her] life!" The driver replies "It's not your life, it's the life you could have had," and we learn that the woman and the dog were both hit by a car at the beginning of the episode. The dog is brought back to life and, had the woman had the courage to board the bus as well, she could have been revived. Instead, she fades away.

In all the subsequent games, he attempts to leave her at home rather than bring her along on dangerous investigations — not that he doesn't want her around, but because he worries about her so much, as is made clear in his journal entries. She sneaks along anyway. It's justified by an intense case of separation anxiety and monophobia.

The kicker? He locked himself out of the lab. He then spends the last thirty seconds or so of the cartoon going on a tirade about how he's no better than "that stupid coyote or that crazy duck". Also done in "Sister's Got a Brand New Bag", where Dexter goes to increasingly desperate attempts to escape Deedee showing him her new dance. The ending is the most amusing part: he gives up and watches her dance, admits that it's pretty good, and the two say goodbye amiably.
