Kitty Is Not a Cat is an Australian cartoon produced by BES Animation for Seven Network. Described by BES Animation themselves as being "in the style of Monsters, Inc., Three Men and a Baby and with a little Top Cat thrown in", the series is the collective brainchild of Bruce Kane and Maurice Argiro, who also created Monster Beach and Exchange Student Zero.A group of 15 stray cats have inherited an old decaying mansion left to them by an eccentric baroness. Each cat is a master of a specific musical instrument and brims with their own quirky character, so naturally, they just spend their days partying away and practicing their tunes. Their carefree life is suddenly interrupted however when a little orphan girl named Kitty shows up at their doorstep. Kitty is at that age where children believe they can be anything they want when they grow up... and Kitty has decided that she wants to be a cat.Reluctantly, the cats decide to take Kitty into their household, but they aren't entirely certain what to do with this tiny human who dresses in an orange catsuit and only speaks in incomprehensible meows and purrs. Nonetheless, the gang will try their best to take care of Kitty and perhaps teach her more about being a human. And while they may not really have the best understanding of humans and are often confounded by the way humans act, these 15 felines love Kitty with all their hearts. Even though they find themselves getting into plenty of shenanigans as they do their best to raise Kitty, they can always count on Kitty and each other to learn a few things about both being human and being a cat along the way.The series officially premiered on 20 April 2018 on 7TWO in Australia. It was renewed for a second season in September 2018 that premiered in November 2019. In October 2019, it was renewed for a third season, which ultimately proved to be its last, concluding the show at 130 ten-minute episodes. In the United States, the first season was made available online on the Roku channel in late 2019, but was then taken off by July 2020. It was later added to the Kidoodle app in the following year.The intro to the series can be seen here, and full episodes can be watched on the official YouTube channel here. The show also has official Instagram and TikTok pages. | |

Badly Battered Babysitter: Spook turns into one for Kitty in one episode — though it's actually more his own fault than Kitty's. | |

Know-Nothing Know-It-All: King Tubby thinks he's an expert on humans and human behaviour. About Once an Episode he'll lapse into a detailed explanation on some particularity about humans, which is without fail based on a spectacular misunderstanding. | |

Truncated Theme Tune: In season 2, Jetpack Distribution heavily shortened the intro once the show aired on TVP ABC in Poland for unknown reasons. This didn't happen during the season's original Australian broadcast. | |

The Smart Guy | |
| Kitty Is Not a Cat / int_3946634e | comment |
The Smart Guy: There are three of them among the fifteen cats: Miley is the bespectacled Deadpan Snarker youngster who generally knows better than most what's going on but seldom bothers to do anything about it. The Nazz is the down-to-Earth old-timer who usually dispenses the words of wisdom. Mr Clean is the cat equivalent of a Gadgeteer Genius. | |

Fearless Fool: Kitty, in most circumstances. One episode does reveal that she is afraid of the dark, but for the most part, she's utterly fearless and not particularly aware of danger when it threatens. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Kitty Is Not a Cat / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Kitty, although it's unclear whether this really is her name or just what she likes to be called. Some of the cats have very descriptive names: King Tubby is rather fat, Thorn has a "thorny" personality, Happy is always smiling, and Spook is easily startled. The human neighbors, the Stinkletons, are about as comically unpleasant as their name suggests. | |

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics | |
| Kitty Is Not a Cat / int_6e6b8ca7 | comment |
Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Thorn and Petal have very feminine shapes with wide hips and hints towards hourglass figures — plus, Thorn wears lipstick, for some reason. Miley has a similar body shape to the male cats, but has pink fur. The trope is completely averted with Luna, who doesn't have any visible feminine characteristics. | |

| Kitty Is Not a Cat / int_92b9e234 | comment |
Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: While most of the cats wear either nothing or perfectly normal cat collars, five of them fall under this category: King Tubby wears a tin can on his head, which is meant to be a crown. The Nazz wears a scarf and a hat. Miley wears eyeglasses. Thorn wears a pair of white flat boots. Last Chance wears an Eyepatch and an arm in a cast. | |

Furry Reminder: They may well stand, talk, and play music, but the cats are still easily distracted by squeaky toys, they wash by licking themselves, and they'll use everything as a scratching post. | |

Pilot | |
| Kitty Is Not a Cat / int_c3943bf3 | comment |
Pilot: The show seems to have had an unreleased one, with only certain clips remaining in a teaser that was released in 2016. From what is seen, it has a slightly Darker and Edgier vibe, and a few changes were made in the final version, including the scrapping of Blossom and Rose from the main crew (though the latter was repurposed as Thorn's sister, and given a major personality change). | |
