~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And here, as requested, are Honorable mentions, in no particular order (some less honorable than others), with their reasons for exclusion:
Mikeko (Ace Attorney): Apparently Apollo's cat but as far as I can tell it was only mentioned not shown, you've got other cats in
Any of the playable cats (Catlateral Damage): yeah I'm not even digging into that I mean I tried but naaaah (not to sound lazy but if it doesn't have a good wiki page I'm not doing it sorry I've had this many cats to dig through; I did save the game to check out in my own time tho so cudos for that)
Tasque Manager (Deltarune): not cat enough
Doraemon (Doraemon ): if only this thing had cat ears... or a cat tail... preferably both... I get that it's a robot but it could be a lot of animals honestly
Lizzie (Empires Smp): whomst (if what I found is what was meant then it's a fish not cat)
Kitty Cheshire (Ever After High): not cat enough
Nepeta Lejiom (Homestuck): not sure she's cat at least ENOUGH if at all, don't know enough about homestuck, owner of Pounce who is in anyway (entry said they're sorry lmao)
Schrödinger (Időfutár): "Time-travelling cat" I have failed in finding their picture and it seems too niche to be presented without it even though I am so intrigued and regret I don't know the language of the source material I'd love to give it a read/listen
Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid): Compares himself to ocelots and meows apparently, but no visible cat aesthetic sorry
Raku-chan (Nyan Neko Sugar Girls ): why.
Aisha Clan-Clan (Outlaw Star): not enough cat
Honey the Cat (Sonic the Hedgehog): that's enough cats from sonic (real reason: model so low-poly she would cut her opponents, and before you argue - there's a difference between pixel models and low-poly old games models)
The song pet cheetah twenty one pilots concept album lore: oof yeah um I get what a concept album is kinda buuut it's just a weird entry idk we've got plenty of fandom cats to go around
Gaetan (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt): Witcher from school of cat but he's still well pretty much human (don't come at me about witchers not being the same as humans he's not a CAT and that's all that matters to me)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's next?
Well, I have to make the bracket itself. As you can see, there's a bit more cats than I was intending to have, which means that certain polls in round 1 will have more than just two options. I can already tell you that a lot of the cats from the same fandoms are going to be eliminated in round one. That's why I kept them in. I'm planning on making up the first round match ups based heavily on the similarities between cats and the fandoms they're from. ALSO as you've probably noticed, some cats come in a bundle. That's because they're a family. I'm not doing this to Kitty Softpaws and Puss (at least YET), because even though they also get married in the end, there's a huge gap in their submission numbers. If you're wondering, how big, you may want to know that up to Tigger from Winnie the Pooh (that is, almost the entire first pic) are the cats that got 2+ submissions, in their order of popularity.
Next step - brackets!!! I want to do this well and I hope I don't underestimate certain fandoms!!!

Duchess of Cambridge launches photography project to capture spirit of lockdown Britain
The Duchess of Cambridge is on the lookout for pictures documenting the best of Britain, from home schooling to the nursing front line
By Hannah Furness,
Royal Correspondent 7 May 2020 • 12:01am
The Duchess of Cambridge has called on Britain to capture photographs of life in lockdown, as she launches a project to document “resilience, bravery and kindness” during coronavirus.
The Duchess is working with the National Portrait Gallery to build a collection of pictures reflecting how the country is coping under Covid-19, from images of the nursing front line to the realities of home schooling.
Inviting submissions from members of the public, she will curate around 100 of the most insightful into an exhibition called Hold Still, intended to “capture the spirit, the mood, the hopes, the fears and the feelings of the nation”.
Launching the project, the Duchess said: “We’ve all been struck by some of the incredible images we’ve seen which have given us an insight into the experiences and stories of people across the country.
“Some desperately sad images showing the human tragedy of this pandemic and other uplifting pictures showing people coming together to support those more vulnerable.

“Hold Still aims to capture a portrait of the nation, the spirit of the nation, what everyone is going through at this time.
“Photographs reflecting resilience, bravery, kindness – all those things that people are experiencing.”
The Duchess, who is patron of the National Portrait Gallery and a keen amateur photographer herself, is said to have been particularly struck by photographs of grandparents seeing visiting grandchildren through their windows, and the bruised faces of nurses wearing PPE.
One of the images which inspired the Duchess was taken by Telegraph photographer Heathcliff O'Malley in April, showing a masked member of staff at London clothing company holding armfuls of scrubs manufactured quickly for the NHS.
Hold Still is intended to recognise all those staying in lockdown to keep the nation safe under three themes: ‘Helpers and Heroes’; ‘Your New Normal’; and ‘Acts of Kindness’.

Open to all ages, the project will invite those taking part to write a short submission to go along with their pictures, outlining the emotions behind it.
The Duchess will speak about Hold Still via video on ITV’s This Morning today (thurs). Submissions for Hold Still can be made via www.npg.org.uk before June 18th.
One hundred shortlisted portraits, judged for their content rather than technical skill, will then feature in a digital exhibition, with plans for them to go on physical display in the future.

Nicholas Cullinan, director of the National Portrait Gallery, said: “Even if we are alone, we can all create something together. We are honoured to partner with The Duchess of Cambridge on the Hold Still project, which will provide an inclusive perspective on, and an important historical record of, these unprecedented times, expressed through the faces of the nation.
"The National Portrait Gallery reflects the history of Britain through the personal stories of the people who have helped to shape it. We are now inviting each and every person, across every city, town, village and home in the UK, to share their portraits with us in this unique collective endeavour.”
