You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.236.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 June 2025. Your current IP address is 54.236.35.144.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Plot ==
''Kitty Is Not a Cat'' follows the story of a little girl called Kitty who has a big imagination who feels like she can be anything she wants, even a cat. Kitty arrives at a house full of partying felines, who suddenly find their lives turned upside down. They attempt to teach Kitty how to be a human when she actually prefers to live her life as a cat.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/the-screen-guide/t/kitty-is-not-a-cat-2018/33644/|title=Kitty Is Not a Cat (2018) - The Screen Guide - Screen Australia|website=www.screenaustralia.gov.au|accessdate=29 March 2019))</ref>

== Characters ==
=== Main ===
* Kitty (voiced by [[Roslyn Oades]]) - The titular heroine who is not a cat. She has black hair and wears an orange cat costume with a red collar. Her skin is white, with light maroon cheeks on her face. She is an orphan. Her origin or how she found out about the mansion with the talking, smart & musical cats remains a mystery.
* King Tubby (voiced by [[Rove McManus]]) - An obese black [[Bicolor cat|tuxedo]] [[Persian cat]]. He has black fur and wears a red collar and a tin can for a crown. Self-appointed "King of all cats", Tubby spends most of his time "sitting on his throne, pretending he knows just what's going on". He however regularly provides explanations on certain aspects of humanity, albeit shaky ones. Oddly, he doesn't seem to play any musical instrument.
* The Nazz (voiced by [[Stephen Hall (actor)|Stephen Hall]]) - A dark orange [[Norwegian Forest cat|Norwegian forest Persian]] [[fox]]-cat. Maybe the oldest cat in the mansion, The Nazz is also the sanest, wisest, and most responsible one, who tries to keep a semblance of order. He's a talented and experienced piano player who composed and recorded several albums' worth of songs. The Nazz doesn’t appear in season 3.
* Petal (voiced by [[Cal Wilson]]) - A [[Russian blue]] cat, soft-spoken, calm, who takes great care of others, but knows how to be firm when needed. She plays the [[saxophone]].
* Timmy Tom (voiced by Rachel King) - A light blue [[Tabby cat|tabby]] cat. The youngest of all the cats, Timmy is almost always seen in Kitty's company, and they always get along wonderfully. He can still play a few instruments, notably pianos.
* Miley (voiced by Rachel King) - A light pink tabby cat. She has pink fur with a light pink belly. She wears glasses. A brilliant, snarky, sour loner, Miley is usually seen reading a book or cultivating her individuality. She has a well-hidden soft spot for Kitty, which doesn't stop her from expressing her criticism in her [[idiosyncratic]] way. She can use a keyboard, but her specialty is samples, [[synthwave]] and [[electronic music]].
* Cheeta (voiced by Rove McManus) - A cyan [[Siamese cat]], no one is ever sure if what is going to come out of Cheeta's mouth; will be a creative piece of advice, or some more nonsense solution that will likely make the problem worse. Still, he sometimes has good (if unusual) ideas, and plays the [[guitar]].
* Ginsburg (voiced by Vincent Milesi) - A cyan tabby cat, Little is shown about Ginsburg, safe from the fact that he is usually not very quick, likes to end his sentences in "[[Man]]", and is an incredible [[drummer]].
* Pierre (voiced by [[Rupert Degas]]) - A cyan tabby cat, Refined, elegant, and French, Pierre is the mansion's cook and plays the [[Bass (guitar)|bass]].
* Ming (voiced by Rupert Degas) - An obese [[Balinese cat|Balinese persian cat]]. Scary, cold and distant, Ming behaves like an inscrutable Sci-Fi B-Movie villain. He's always had very ambivalent feelings towards the [[mansion]]'s new resident. He plays [[Electronic keyboard|keyboards]] in a very personal manner.
* Mr. Clean (voiced by Rupert Degas) - A [[Maine Coon]]-[[Manx cat|Manx]] cat. Small, dirty, and simple, Mr. Clean is a humble cat who is very satisfied with his own hygiene. He's been shown to know how to grow fruit and vegetables, which he himself sums up as, He apparently plays the [[violin]].
* Happy (voiced by Rupert Degas) - A [[Chartreux]] eyes-closed cat, Happy would have a hard time seeing his own paws, but this handicap has resulted in a unique character trait: since he can't see the bad in anything, then everything is amazing to him all the time! He provides lighthearted comic relief and plays the [[trombone]].
* Last Chance (voiced by Rove McManus) - A green injured tabby cat. Everyone knows cats have [[Cat#Superstitions and rituals|nine lives]]. Last Chance is on his, well, last one, but he isn't going to let this bring him down. He plays the [[trumpet]], and announces King Tubby's arrivals and house meetings.
* Thorn (voiced by Cal Wilson) - A black and white [[Sphynx cat]]. She has black fur with a white muzzle and belly. She wears a red collar around her neck. She also wears a pair of white boots. Dark, menacing, classy, and cold, Thorn may seem scary, but has shown more many times how deeply she cares for little Kitty. She is an impressive singer.
* Spook (voiced by [[Jamie Aditya]]) - An [[Abyssinian cat|Abyssinian]]-[[Munchkin cat|Munchkin]] [[Arachnophobia|arachnophobic]] cat. Spook perfectly illustrates the expression "scaredy cat". He's terrified, startled, or worried by nearly everything, but finds comfort in a sappy romance television show, and apparently has a knack for technology. He doesn't play instruments, but knows his way as a [[Disc jockey|disc-jockey]].
* Luna (voiced by Rachel King) - A brown-haired tabby cat, Luna tries to avoid effort whenever possible, except when music and dancing are involved. She plays the [[sitar]].

=== Recurring ===
* The mice (both voiced by Jamie Aditya) - are a pair that work for King Tubby and wheel him out of places in which they don't do happily. They frequently complain about how they aren't given a break.
* Harold Stinkleton (voiced by Rupert Degas) - One of the neighbours. He is idiosyncratically grumpy, clueless, and submissive towards his wife.
* Olive Stinkleton (voiced by Rachel King) - One of the neighbours. She is typically prissy, haughty, and bossy towards her husband.
* Stanley "Stan" Stinkleton (voiced by [[Marg Downey]]) - The youngest Stinkleton is usually depicted playing video games, eating, sleeping, and doing as little of worth as possible.
* King Tubby's Mom (voiced by Rove McManus) - An obese black tuxedo Persian cat. She is the mother of King Tubby.
* Rose (voiced by Cal Wilson) - A yellow and white Sphynx cat, she is the sister of Thorn.
