Did you know that the cat species has the most villagers with 23 total in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? With so many to choose from, maybe you need help narrowing it down. So today, I am ranking all the cat villagers in Animal Crossing. Maybe it will help you make a decision on who to invite to your own island.
This is an opinion piece, so there are no right or wrong answers! Just sharing my own personal thoughts.
Counting down from…
#23: Stinky
Sorry you are coming in last, bud. But I am not a fan of the masks on villagers. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are blue and red, his catchphrase is “GAAHHH,” and he has the fitness hobby.
#22: Moe
I know Moe is a favorite among players but there are just too many better ones, in my opinion. If you want a blue cat… Tom would be my choice over Moe. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are black and gray, his catchphrase is “myawn,” and he has the play hobby.
#21: Monique
Snooty for cat villagers is just as good as smug. Monique looks like a movie star and we are here for it. But she is a little too specific for me, which is why she isn’t ranking higher. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are purple and pink, her catchphrase is “pffffft,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#20: Kid Cat
I don’t care for the helmeted villagers but Kid Cat is looking pretty adorable under there. He’s great for a hero vibe if that is what you are going for. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite color is red, his catchphrase is “psst,” and he has the fitness hobby.
#19: Tom
Cute cranky kitty. I love that he has the education hobby, too. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are black and gray, his catchphrase is “me-YOWZA,” and he has the education hobby.
#18: Tabby
Tabby is such a little rocker. Her music hobby is perfect for her, though I know she wants to be a pop star… she is much more edgy than that. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are black and gray, her catchphrase is “me-WOW,” and she has the music hobby.
#17: Kabuki
He has a pretty cool design, though a little intimidating perhaps. But overall, a cool zen vibe villager. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are purple and red, his catchphrase is “meooo-OH,” and he has the music hobby.
#16: Katt
Giiiiirl those fangs. So fierce. I love a good sisterly villager and Katt is an awesome choice. I had her as a starter and wasn’t mad about it. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are purple and black, her catchphrase is “purrty,” and she has the music hobby.
#15: Ankha
I think a lot of people would be mad that Ankha is ranked at 15 but I am not buying into the hype. That isn’t to say she isn’t awesome!! I love Egyptian history and the whole vibe. Just a middle of the road choice overall because there are so many good cats. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are colorful and brown, her catchphrase is “me meow,” and she has the nature hobby.
#14: Olivia
I love white kitties! Olivia is such a cutie and I love her wide eyes. I wish I could rank her higher. These babies are truly so hard to rank. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are white and black, her catchphrase is “purrr,” and she has the music hobby.
#13: Merry
OHMYGOSHMERRY. That’s how I feel when I see peppy kitties. She’s so cute. Such a classic. My daughter loves her. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are pink and aqua, her catchphrase is “mweee,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#12: Tangy
Tangy, you bright and sunny villager! Love her design so much. She is such a delight to have around. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are green and yellow, her catchphrase is “reeeeOWR,” and she has the music hobby.
#11: Kitty
Kitty gives off queen energy, honestly. Her coloring is fabulous and her eyeshadow is perfection. If Purrl wasn’t my favorite snooty cat, Kitty would be runner up. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are green and gray, her catchphrase is “mrowrr,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#10: Rudy
Rudy is so playful and just a really cute cat. With a red nose (like Rudolph), I feel like he goes great on winter/Christmas-themed islands. He was also my starter villager and he gets points for that nostalgia. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are yellow and beige, his catchphrase is “mush,” and he has the play hobby.
#9: Rosie
AW. Rosie is such a staple to this game. She has an adorably cute and bubbly design and is easy to love. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are red and pink, her catchphrase is “silly,” and she has the music hobby.
#8: Bob
Fun fact: Bob was the first Animal Crossing villager ever made. When you think of the game, he is probably one of the villagers that comes to mind first because he is BOB and he is LOVED. He is a forever-popular and favorite and it’s easy to see why. He’s a cool purple cat with an awesome design. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are red and colorful, his catchphrase is “pthhpth,” and he has the play hobby.
#7: Punchy
Look at him. What a cool dude. There’s a lot to love here, from his hooded eyes to the whiskers. Punchy is an absolute mood and he’s a great choice. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are blue and aqua, his catchphrase is “mrmpht,” and he has the play hobby.
#6: Lolly
The sweetest Tabby cat. I think Lolly is one of the most popular villagers of all time and for good reason. Her coloring and design is so soft and pretty. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are gray and pink, her catchphrase is “bonbon,” and she has the music hobby.
#5: Raymond
Gosh, I love him!! I love his dialogue as a smug villager (smug is perfect for a cat, after all) and his design is so cool. Love the heterochromia representation, but not so much the office setup in his house. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are black and gray, his catchphrase is “crisp,” and he has the nature hobby (shocking.. I would picture education).
#4: Purrl
Chic and stylish Purrl with her gorgeous lower lashes and beautiful calico coat. I have a calico so she gets a lot of bonus points for it. Love a good snooty cat and she is it. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are gray and blue, her catchphrase is “kitten,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#3: Felicity
My love for Felicity creeped up on me but wow, I just love peppy personality on the cats. She is so chic with the most adorable bob and her eyes are so pretty. I love her coloring and her double-wave and her French-girl flair. All of it!! Underrated gem. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are yellow and orange, her catchphrase is “mimimi,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#2: Mitzi
Mitzi is such a dear. Her design is based on a Siamese cat and I think it’s very well done. Her coloring is fresh and her eyes are one of her best features. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are beige and brown, her catchphrase is “mew,” and she has the education hobby.
#1: Kiki
Black. Cat. Energy. I LOVE this girl so much. Kiki is just the right amount of cozy and spooky. Her design is flawless and she has the education hobby (which I am partial to). Her little purple toe beans are also *chef’s kiss.* She is perfect for any island, but an absolute must on autumncore and Halloween islands. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are beige and brown, her catchphrase is “kitty cat,” and she has the education hobby.
