A lion-like feline Pokemon, Solgaleo is covered by a massive mane that looks like a crown. There are also tufts of fur on the chin and cheeks. At first glance, the mane looks like the sun but in a stylized manner.

As the character has an affinity with the sun, it is one of the most powerful Pokemon characters. It can also enter Ultra Space by creating various Ultra Wormholes. Lastly, it is famous for its signature moves called the Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash and Sunsteel Strike.

31. Litten

A black and red feline, Litten is a fire-type, solitary cat Pokemon. It has red eyes with bright yellow sclera and a small nose. The face is both black and red, and it also has cloud-like pointy fur on the cheeks, as though these are whiskers.

This Pokemon character is a little temperamental. It hides its emotions and does not prefer affection. It coughs out fireballs, which is its way of overcoming its foes.

30. Mew

A pink cat Pokemon, Mew has a wide, rounded snout that matches perfectly its big blue eyes. It also has relatively short arms but a long tail that’s thin on the tip. With hair so fine and sheer, the only way to actually see it is through a microscope.

Now here’s the kicker to a rather “normal-looking” cat Pokemon: Mew possesses every Pokemon’s DNA. With this unique attribute, this allows Mew to use various attacks after learning them all – and this smart kitty excels at it!

29. Raikou

A massive cat, Raikou summons and uses the power of electricity. It’s a mammalian Pokemon with features resembling a Sabertooth tiger. So, definitely a feline in every way – and a large one, at that.

Because of its type of power, Raikou is typically seen during thunderstorms. This cloud-riding beast quickly paces across grasslands and sends out cries that come with shockwaves, causing the ground to tremble with its significant vibration and power.

28. Meowth

One of the most popular cat Pokemons, Meowth is a quadruped as a normal kitty. It has a small body with cream fur that impressively turns brown. On its head is a shiny koban gold coin, which is its famous striking feature.

With a fancy for shiny things, this feline is on the prowl at night time and picks up any sparkly objects – loose change included! It’s also capable of producing plenty of coins through Pay Day and throws coins at its opponents. Win the battle and all those glittery things are yours!

27. Absol

While not exactly feline-confirmed, Absol does possess a cat-like facial features – a sharp chin, chiseled jaws, and exquisite almond eyes. It also lets out a kitty-like trill, which is typical of a housecat.

What’s fascinating about this character is that it appears right before horrible things occur. No wonder Absol’s strongly associated with danger and disasters. Or could it be that it’s the one causing these bad things? Who knows!

26. Luxio

A quadrupedal cat Pokemon, Luxio closely resembles either a youthful lion or lynx… Or a combination of both. Covered in blue and black wavy hair, the tuft of hair on its head gives away a lion-like appearance but with large, rounded ears that stick out.

This tough character sends out electric pulses through its sharp claws as a means of communication. But when ready to fight, it generates a million volts of powerful electricity to defeat its opponent.

25. Skitty

A cat Pokemon from Generation III, Skitty is evidently a kitty in every way – a pink feline with smiling eyes and long, erect ears. It also has an extraordinary-looking puffy tail shaped like a balloon with needles sticking out of it.

Just like an average cat, it loves to chase anything that moves… Even its wagging tail. Sweet and adorable, Skitty is all about cuteness and charm – nothing dark or foreboding about this innocent-looking character at all!

24. Luxray

Luxray is a larger and more powerful version of Luxio, which it evolves from. From head to foot, this cat Pokemon appears as a mature lion with shaggy fur all over its body and a mane framing its head. On the tip of its tail is a yellow star with four points.

Luxray’s superpower is its X-ray vision, which allows it to see through walls and various objects. But since this power depends solely on electricity, Luxray needs to recharge a lot by sleeping for longer periods.

23. Purugly

Image from Instagram:@un_arceus_pokedex_

Pudgy and round, Purugly is a white feline with purple-tipped pointy ears and zigzagging whiskers. But don’t be deceived by its apparent heft; this cat Pokemon is actually quite swift when angered and can attack its opponents like nobody’s business.

This cute but fierce kitty clasps its forked tail around the waist to appear more intimidating to its opponents. It also frightens other Pokemons by barging into their nests and claiming these as his.

22. Shinx

Image from Instagram:@nickochu143

A cross between a Sphinx and a Lynx, Shinx is a cute little feline with a star for its tail. Its hair is black on the rear and blue on the front, appearing slightly like Luxio but without a mane and long and profuse tufty hair on the head.

When danger is close by, its fur gleams radiantly. This move is blinding to its opponents, allowing it to flee so quickly. It also produces electricity by contracting its muscles, which is another one of its superpowers.

21. Zangoose

This purple cat Pokemon is as enchanting as can be – a tiny nose on its cream-colored muzzle, round emerald eyes, and cream hind paws, shoulders and neck. But behind all that cuteness, Purrloin is rather mischievous – and delights in its naughty stunts.

However, even when caught stealing, Purrloin is forgiven easily all because of its unfaltering charm. Its powerful attack is in its claws and never hesitates to use them when threatened.

19. Glameow

A slender kitty with its infamous spring-shaped, curled tail with a white fluffy tip, Glameow appears quite glamorous and elegant. It has enticing eyes that can emit hypnotic powers, which this cat Pokemon does not hesitate to use when the need arises.

18. Liepard

12. Sneasal
