In {{TP}}, in order to buy the [[Slingshot]] from [[Sera's Sundries]], Link must catch a [[fish]] for {{Term|TPHD|Sera|link}}'s Cat. This is due to the Cat running away after being scolded for eating a fish intended for the family's dinner. Sera's Cat is named after the young hero. Other notable Cats include [[Jovani]]'s Cat, [[Gengle]], who is the leader of a group of Cats in [[Hyrule Castle Town]], and [[Louise]], [[Telma]]'s Cat, who assists Link while he is in [[Wolf Link|wolf form]] at a number of points in the game, namely during [[Midna]]'s desperate hour.
In {{TP}}, many {{Plural|TPHD|Cat}} appear throughout {{Term|TPHD|Hyrule|link}}. {{Plural|TPHD|Cat}} will pounce and attack nearby {{Plural|TPHD|Cucco|link}}.

This is due to the {{Term|TPHD|Cat}} running away after being scolded for eating a {{Term|TPHD|Fish}} intended for the family's dinner.<ref>{{Cite|You... You didn't happen to see my little {{Color|TPHD Red|cat}} out there, did you? He ate the fish we were going to have for supper last night, and I gave him a good scolding...but then he went out and hasn't returned... I'm so fraught with worry for him... I've exhausted myself...|Sera|TPHD}}</ref> {{Term|TPHD|Sera}}, exhausted from worry, is unable to run her shop while her {{Term|TPHD|Cat}} was missing.<ref>{{Cite|Ohhhh... I'm terribly sorry...but my mind is so filled with thoughts of my little cat that I simply can't deal with customers right now...|Sera|TPHD}}</ref> After a {{Term|TPHD|Fish}} is given to {{Term|TPHD|Link (Cat)}} the {{Term|TPHD|Cat}}, he returns to {{Term|TPHD|Sera's Sundries}}, allowing {{Term|TPHD|Link}} to shop at {{Term|TPHD|Sera's Sundries}} again.


In the [[Hidden Village]], twenty Cats return to the village after Link defeats the [[Bulblin]]s occupying it. The [[Cucco]] who looks after the Cats, referred to as the "Cucco Leader," asks Wolf Link to [[Cat Chat|entertain the Cats]] in exchange for a [[Piece of Heart]] by speaking to each one of them. However, it warns him that the Cats are very forgetful and will need to be spoken to all over again if Link leaves the village.
A group of {{Plural|TPHD|Cat}} gather around {{Term|TPHD|Jovani|link}}'s house in {{Term|TPHD|Hyrule Castle Town|link}} that can be seen playing with balls. The leader of these {{Plural|TPHD|Cat}} is {{Term|TPHD|Jovani}}'s {{Term|TPHD|Cat}}, {{Term|TPHD|Gengle|link}}. When {{Term|TPHD|Jovani}} sold his soul to a {{Term|TPHD|Poe|link}} and turned into gold, {{Term|TPHD|Gengle}} was also cursed and turned to gold, petrifying him to his owner's head.<ref>{{Cite|I can't move... I can't go see my girlfriend... My pet cat {{Color|TPHD Animal Green|Gengle}} is frozen on my head... I don't think I could be more miserable.|Jovani|TPHD}}</ref> Collecting the {{Plural|TPHD|Poe Soul|link}} of 20 or more {{Plural|TPHD|Poe|link}} will free {{Term|TPHD|Gengle}} from his curse.<ref>{{Cite|Can you find and defeat the {{Color|TPHD Red|20 ghosts that lurk in the dark}} for me?

While {{Plural|TMC|Cat}} do not appear in {{SS}}, {{Term|SS|Skyloft|link}} is home to {{Plural|SS|Remlit}}, which strongly resemble and behave similarly to {{Plural|TMC|Cat}}.

In {{TFH}}, Cats are found in various places in [[Hytopia]]. Many appear in [[Madame Couture's]], but two are found outside, lounging on a bench and a roof, respectively. The Cat on the bench will meow when talked to without the [[Cheetah Costume]].<ref>{{Cite|Meowwww!

Strangely, however, it can only be seen in this Mirror, and cannot be approached.

Cats that sit outside on the bench west of Madame Couture's will tell Link that the [[Street Merchant]] adjusts his prices whenever he is in a good mood,<ref>{{Cite|Oh! Hello, meow! I'm a cat!

These Cats also emulate Madame Couture's habit of slipping into a mix of English and French. The Cat sitting on the couch facing the Dressing Room claims to be Madame Couture's guardian, as well as the guardian of the store owner's secrets, freely gossiping about Madame Couture's relationship with her sister, [[Lady Maud]].<ref>{{Cite|Welcome, stranger! Gimme some fish! Just kidding, nya ha. Wait a minute... Do you actually understand what I'm saying?! That's amazing, meow! I'm the guardian of this store.
