The Cat

Were you looking for The Cat's counterpart, The Rat?

The Cat is the secondary antagonist of Five Nights at Candy's 2. He is a special animatronic, like The Rat, as he is only active on Night 6 and Night 8.

There is very little known about The Cat in comparison to the other animatronics, since The Cat has relatively few appearances in the plot.

Appearance[]

The Cat appears to be a changed version of The Rat, with a lighter texture and a blockier head. There are tears in his head, ears, and body. He bears endoskeleton feet and a right endoskeleton hand, with only the left being undamaged. A great portion of his left leg is missing, revealing endoskeleton frame underneath. There's also a hole in his chest.

Behavior[]

The Cat will start anywhere in the cameras in the said nights that he is on, and will attempt to get to the player, like the other animatronics. At times, he will attempt to get into the vents, like Withered Chester. Like most of the animatronics, he has two jumpscares, depending on if the camera is used or not.

Trivia[]

From Emil Macko's concept art in the Extras menu, The Cat was originally going to have his teeth more sharper.
- This was scrapped for an unknown reason.
Unlike the other animatronics, The Cat and The Rat can appear in the same room together.
After passing Night 8, clicking on the fourth star on the main menu will send the player to a minigame, showing the Grand Reopening of Candy's Burgers and Friends, with The Cat and The Rat performing. This most likely is the very first establishment, and existed sometime before 1965 (when Old Candy and Blank were most likely first created, judging by their minigame), with New Candy, and New Cindy made around 1992, while The Cat and The Rat have deteriorated.
- This may suggest that they are the original animatronics of the CTC Entertainment franchise, paralleling Fredbear and Spring Bonnie from the Five Nights at Freddy's series.
The Cat and The Rat are both similar to Tom and Jerry, from the series of the same name.
- Additionally, both of their names rhyme, and they do work together to get to the player.
When viewing The Cat and The Rat on the extras menu, the music will slow down and change to a low beat.
If the player is attacked by The Cat or The Rat, the Game Over screen says that Marylin was mauled to death by an unknown predator, to the point where it resembles a bear attack, according to the newspaper shown. If the player is attacked by any other of the animatronics, the Game Over screen simply claims that Marylin has gone missing.
- This means The Cat and The Rat are the only animatronics that will expose Marylin's corpse, after killing her.
Some thought that The Cat and The Rat were springlock animatronics, but this has been disconfirmed by Emil Macko on Twitter.
