The Cat

' The Cat' is the deuteragonist of the 2009 film Coraline.

Coraline
The Cat was a black cat who acted as a companion to Wybie Lovat, the son of t he local landlady. When Coraline Jones and her partner with the Cat and Wybie, Coraline mockingly referred to the Cat as a "wuss puss," much to his annoyance. However, when Coraline entered the Other World, the Cat followed her and revealed his ability of speech in the Other World, as well as informing Coraline that the Beldam, the creator of the Other World, would often tried to keep him out of the Other World, but had failed. The Cat warns Coraline of the dangers of the Other World, but Coraline ignores him.

Coraline came across the Cat while she was searching for the Beldam, during which the Cat revealed the Beldam intentions of keeping Coraline forever. After Coraline's parents were kidnapped by the Beldam, the Cat accompanied Coraline on her journey into the Other World. During Coraline's game with the Beldam to find her parents and the eyes of the ghost children, the Cat helped Coraline retrieve the third Ghost Eye by killing the rat who had stolen it. During the final confrontation with the Beldam, the Cat attacked by the Beldam and tore out her button eyes, rendering her blind, before escaping into the real world, along with Coraline, the ghost children, and her parents. When the Beldam's severed hand later attacked Coraline to steal the key to the Other World, the Cat alerted Wybie, who destroyed the hand.

Afterwards, the Cat made one final appearance lying on a post before disappearing behind it.
