One of the most famous cat characters in anime, Artemis is the guardian deity of Venus – Minako, who exhibits a somewhat forgetful but ultimately reliable personality when needed.

The blue cat in “Fairy Tail” lacks any special abilities, aside from creating chaos in comedic situations. The name given to him by Natsu adds to the charm of understanding Happy’s personality.
4. Tony Tony Chopper
The small reindeer with a high hat and blue nose has proven himself time and again as a valuable member of the Straw Hat Pirates. While Chopper may act like a timid child and often “runs away” from Luffy, he is a genuinely good friend, straightforward and always ready for adventure.

Although capable of transforming into a human, Blair from “Soul Eater” prefers to embrace her cat form. In her human guise, Blair is an exceptionally charming femme fatale, often mischievous and causing a stir.
