Animal Crossing: New Horizons came exactly when the world needed it most. Part of what makes it so appealing is how wholesome and cheerful that it is. Besides, rural island living is looking extremely appealing in 2020. If that's not already appealing enough, Animal Crossing introduces some absolutely adorable cat characters as villagers.
There are several different cat villagers, and each one has their own unique interests and personality. However, these are the cutest feline friends that appear in New Horizons.
10 Felicity
Ms. Felicity is a "peppy" villager who loves fashion and swimming. She has orangish-red bangs, pink blush, and a cute pink button nose. Plus, she has off-white fur, wide eyes, and she carries a happy smile. Like many peppy villagers, Felicity loves to sing and often says "ohmigosh" and "totes," adding to her adorableness.
Felicity's house looks like a comfy backyard. It has sky-themed wallpaper with a picket fence, and a grass patterned floor. Additionally, her cute personality matches her appearance. She's a great villager to have around on the island.
9 Punchy
This "lazy" cat character is hilarious, and his humor will definitely keep players entertained. His sleepiness shows through his heavy eyelids, but his eyes still open wide when he's shocked or afraid. Ergo, Punchy considers "staying awake" to be his top skill. It's easy to assume that this guy takes a lot of cat naps!
Punchy's house is simple, and so is his apparel. After all, lazy kitties don't have time to decorate or become fashionistas. This villager's funny dialogue and adorable pointy ears make him a prime candidate to be a cute new island neighbor.
8 Olivia
Olivia is sassy and "snooty." Her home is decorated fancily, and she is not keen on being overtly kind. As a result, this kitty is great for those who want the blunt truth without all the sugar coating. This cat may not be pleasant to have around, but her attitude is entertaining, nonetheless.
She has long eyelashes with blue eye shadow, pink and burgundy pointy ears, and a mole under her left eye. She's still cute even though she's not the sweetest option. For those who enjoy a crisp personality, Olivia is a cute villager to have around.
7 Katt
Katt's "sisterly" personality makes her the ideal adorable villager. Her fangy smile and wide, yellow eyes make her one of the cutest cat villagers in New Horizons. Plus, she's positive, uplifting, and easy to get along with. Her fur is brown and beige, and she often wears red shirts.
This kitty loves rock n' roll, which is evident when visiting her home. She has a drum set and an electric guitar just chilling there in her living room. What a queen! It sounds like Katt is a great villager to start a band with.
6 Lolly
Her gray stripes and cute, comma-shaped eyes make Lolly one of the most precious cat characters available in New Horizons. She is the cuddly, friendliest type of cat that every pet owner wants to have. Her "normal" personality mixed with her invisible nose makes her one of the most precious cat villagers.
Lolly's mouth appears as a little happy squiggle. Her house is average, with basic furniture and neutral colors. She's a simple and sweet kitty that everyone should have on their island!
5 Rosie
Rosie is a blue cat with Pac-man shaped eyes, pointy ears, and pink blush. Her house is as adorable as she is, with its soft pink theme which matches her dress. She's yet another "peppy" popstar character who desires fame. Subsequently, she wants to be an actress and is great at karaoke.
Her favorite furniture items are from the Lovely Series, and she is all about the "cute" theme. She is sweet, excitable, and easy to get along with, making her an ideal candidate for this list.
4 Ankha
Now it's time to get serious. Ms. Ankha is a "snooty" villager, but her persona comes off as stern. Therefore, her face is in a constant state of somber. A smile will never appear, even when she's in a decent or even good mood. This is somehow what makes her so adorable, adhering to the classic grumpy cat look.
She has yellow fur and wears a navy colored eyeliner. She dresses in Egyptian-themed clothing, and her home follows this theme. The decor inside her house makes it look like an Egyptian tomb. How creative!
3 Purrl
Purrl is as precious as she looks. Despite being "snooty," she's pretty approachable. However, the snooty trait does show through her slightly self-centered nature. On top of that, this cat is all about clothing, even focusing on staying "chic" while camping. This in combination with other comments indicates that she is very upper-class.
She's marked with a Calico pattern and has wide eyes, eyelashes, and a slight smile. This cute kitty is very into her appearance, so expect to hear lots about fashion and makeup.
2 Kiki
This adorable black cat is among the cutest of them all. She has yellow eyes and a happy, wide smile. Additionally, she wears a cute sweater vest and wants to become a writer. Her home is very artsy and humble. Moreover, Kiki is sweet and often expresses the love reaction when she talks to players. How wholesome!
Kiki seems to be a country gal in New Horizons, given her love for Western decor and the fact that K.K. Country plays on her radio. This adorable writer is the perfect cute cat inhabitant for those who love the arts.
1 Rudy
It's interesting that the devs chose to cameo Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer in cat form. Rudy's appearance is exactly what his name indicates. As a result, he is brown and white with a cute red nose. Rudy is a "jock" villager and loves to talk about his workout routines.
His home is full of green children's toys and has an overall green color theme. Rudy the Red-nosed Kitten it is! This adorable guy is great to invite over around Christmas time. However, just remember, he's not actually a reindeer. This fella won't be pulling your sled around.
