Mr. Kitty or just Kitty is Eric Cartman's pet cat,[2] who made his first appearance in the episode, "The Unaired Pilot".
Background[]
Mr. Kitty is Cartman's pet cat. Usually when he attempts to get some of Cartman's food, to which Cartman always replies by yelling, "No, Mr. Kitty! That's MY (name of food)" several times, each time his voice becoming more aggressive. This results in either Mr. Kitty hissing angrily at Cartman for being greedy, attempting to scratch him, running away due to his owner's abuse or simply walking away off-screen unable to get sustenance.
Mr. Kitty would later have a prominent role in "Cat Orgy", in which his gender has shifted towards female and he is in heat. Mr. Kitty meows loudly wanting to mate, much to Cartman's confusion and annoyance. After attempting to have sex throughout the episode, Mr. Kitty assembles a massive group of male cats to come home with him. He then proceeds to get all the cats high on catnip (which they snort in like cocaine) and all the male cats proceed to take turns having sex with Mr. Kitty. Cartman and his babysitter Shelley Marsh were, needless to say, horrified. They were able to get rid of most of the cats using catnip and Skylar as an unwilling participant.
Mr. Kitty's next real appearance would be in "Major Boobage", in which Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan attempt to test whether or not it is possible to get high off of male cat urine, and Mr. Kitty is again male in this episode. The test proves to be successful, as Kenny gets high and ends up in a hardcore drug fantasy, that he becomes addicted to. When "cheesing", as it is called, becomes a major drug issue in South Park, the cats of the town are rounded up by the authorities. Showing uncharacteristic concern for his cat, Cartman proceeds to hide him in the attic, in which Cartman gives him a diary so as to record his life, in a manner similar to Anne Frank. Later, Cartman begins to hide more and more cats up in his attic with Mr. Kitty, until Kenny, completely addicted to Cheesing, breaks in and uses them to get completely wasted. After Gerald Broflovski, the key opponent to cheesing, is caught doing cat urine himself, the ban on cats is lifted and Mr. Kitty is free to live with Cartman like before.
Mr. Kitty returns with another big role in "Faith Hilling", where he was caught by Cartman posting pictures of himself on the internet with bread around her head. After Cartman and the boys finally realized that "Faith Hilling" was out of style, they used Mr. Kitty to perform various other memes. When they went to do the meme at the Colorado Republican Debate again, Mr. Kitty was seen being held by Eric when he was to perform the meme. Instead of using the meme that involved Mr. Kitty, Cartman instead "Faith Hill'd" the audience, which praised it for being well done.
While Mr. Kitty has not made any appearances in the show since "Faith Hilling", he continues to appear in the video games like South Park: The Fractured But Whole and South Park: Snow Day!. It is unknown if he was ever taken to the Coney Island Hotdog that Cartman and Liane lived in from "City People" to "DikinBaus Hot Dogs".

Prior to his appearance in "Major Boobage", Mr. Kitty had a black nose, with the exception of her original appearance in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" where he had a pink nose.
