Off the top... Tiger Commander in Meltdown Man was a fave. (Liana at a stretch too I guesss). There was the talking cat informant who asked Dredd to save a guinea pig, Butch in Zippy Couriers, an FS where the alien commander disguised as a cat has a whale of a time on Earth before being dragged off to the vet, Henry Moon...
Likely to be more, but then cats aren't my fave subject.

Wasn't there a talking cat in a Dredd story?
And a future shock about an alien being transferred into the body of a cat.

Pigs are great. Dogs look up to you, cats look down on you. They treat you as equals.

I like cats. In fact I like the fact the dont give a shit about and see you as a glorified tin opener, dogs on the other hand are just stupid pant and dribble everywhere, barking "Yes Massa"
In fact pick up Filidae, the story of a cat detective, not as bad as it sounds..... Honest
Yer Slips
PS- I am broadly stereotyping but I dislike fawning idiots and thats how dogs act.

A dog will fetch a stick when you throw it. A cat will ignore you. It won't even stop to wonder why this biped keeps throwing sticks. It is for this reason that I prefer cats.
Wasn't there an ABC Warriors story where Mek-Quake looked like a cat for some reason?

There was the Dredd pastiche (is that the right word?) of Calvin and Hobbs which had a big cat. That might count too. Though it wasn't a real cat. Well it was in the sense that it could kill people. It was a kind of quantum cat that had a probability of existing at any one time.

Dogs for me.
Yeah, I know they're stupid and utterly dependant and all the rest, but frankly the whole 'pet' thing is a simple transaction: you put in money and time and affection, you want something in return. With dogs you get all the big sloppy stupid thicko adoration that you could possibly ever need, whereas with cats you could fall off a tall building and they wouldn't be that bothered.
I suspect if I was a pet I'd be a cat, which is why I can't stand the arrogant smug feckers. Someone (might have been Pratchett, thinking about it) said something like "If cats looked like frogs, we'd realise what horrible little bastards they actually are". Too true.
Stupid things are much more entertaining than independent things. Just look at 'AWS'.

Well as I have said earlier, I have two cats and both of them show me love and affection. I don't mind dogs, but if I wanted a possible dangerous animal in my house, I'd have a panther.

it was the strangest looking cat I'd ever seen...

I have two cats. One's a straight-forward selfish creature like most, but the other has the personality of a puppy.
He follows me around everywhere and is always mucking about and having fun with you. He's great.
I've never had a dog, because cats are low-maintenance, and you can just go out all day and leave them alone.
