All cat species in the Pokémon franchise

The Pokémon franchise has added over 1,000 different Pokémon since it all began back in 1996. While some Pokémon designs are completely fantastical or based on inanimate objects, many are based on regular, everyday animals. From fish to birds to axolotls, just about every type of animal on earth has been Pokémon-ized at some point.

Among one of the most popular base animals for Pokémon is cats. Pokémon have been based on domesticated cats, lions, tigers, and more since Generation I. In the years since, some of the game’s earliest cat Pokémon have even received new regional forms and updated looks.
