Out of the cat villagers, ten are male and fifteen are female. Of these, six are peppy, five are snooty, four are jocks, four are lazy, three are normal, two are cranky and one is uchi. There are currently no smug cats. Out of the cat villagers, only Meow and Pierre have not re-appeared after Doubutsu no Mori e+.
