In the 1960's Shintaro Tsuji, founder of the Sanrio company found that by adding cute designs to otherwise mundane objects, they became much more popular and successful. While initially using Licensed characters, by the 1970s he hired several cartoonists to create characters made for the primary purpose of being cute and adding magic to ordinary objects. The first line of Sanrio characters and second character ever made was their new Brand Icon, an anthropomorphic cat with a bow on her head and no visible mouth. Because Sanrio's motto was "Social Communication" and they wanted their brand to introduce them pleasantly to the world they wanted to include a greeting with her name, thus was born the brand image of Hello Kitty, one of the most merchandised and well known characters on the planet.
While Hello Kitty is how she's often referred, her real name is Kitty White. Because Kitty is designed to be applicable and versatile no matter the cultural context, there's not actually that much information about her background and details about her shift wildly depending on the version. Kitty is officially stated however to be a British Antropomorphic Cat born to George and Mary White along with her younger twin sister Mimi White on November 1. She has a boyfriend named Dear Daniel, a best friend My Melody, and a cat of her own called Charmy. She has an official height of 5 apples tall and weight of 3 apples, with a love for apples, her mama's apple pie, playing piano, and collecting cute things.
Saying more about Kitty is difficult as she is deliberately made to be shaped to various stories and roles. While her personality remains consistent as is her relationships to the other Sanrio characters, they deliberately play many roles, with Kitty sometimes being a little girl, sometimes an adult baker, sometimes a superhero, sometimes a monster, sometimes a metaphysical entity from another dimension, and sometimes a normal neighbor in an average British Suburb. But what's always true in every version is that Kitty White's persona and what she represents. Kitty is a symbol of friendship and greeting people with an open heart.
This blog is a Composite but part of why it took a while is Kitty has a LOT of media and some of it I was just unable to find. There's more Kitty content but I hope this will be a fun analysis for one of the most famous characters in fiction.
Immaterial Existence:
While most series depict Kitty existing in a world mostly similar to our own, some settings suggest the Sanrio characters exist in a world made of human dreams. In the Higurashi crossover, Kitty says they come from a world of love and dreams, appearing from a mirror. In Onegai My Melody, Melody and Kuromi both come from Mariland, a land stated to be formed from human dreams and nightmares, explaining their ability to consistently (like every episode) interact with the dreams of humans (First Instance: 8:12.) This is treated as quite literal with the spirit of Dark Power going to keep humans from dreaming so that Mariland will be annihilated in the series finale. Sanrio has also depicted Kitty as having a ghostly form in numerous official pieces of Merchandise.
Non-Physical Interaction:
As might be expected from a being sometimes described as being made from dreams, Kitty can interact with immaterial things consistently. She was able to grab her love from the air to use as an ingredient. Kitty and Melody were able to physically see and interact with Kuromi's bad mood, Melody even bumping her head on it with the characters being able to literally consume the remnants of it later. Also in a few episodes of Growing Up with Hello Kitty she reverses the Iris In, showing a degree of metafictional interaction. Kitty has explicitly broken the fourth wall numerous times as well as physically manipulated the Iris In.
Shapeshifting:
Outside of going from the size of plushies to roughly human size and back between mediums Kitty has shown other forms of transformation. In particular in the Crossover Toys with Transformers she has shown the ability to turn herself into a car and back. In Hello Kitty vs Gundam Kitty transforms to become as large as a mecha as well also seemingly being made of metal? The RX-78-2 has a height of 18 meters which Kitty approximately reaches the size of. Both Chip and Sam have shown superhuman elasticity as well, and it's likely Kitty could replicate this. She and the other Sanrio characters in the Higurashi crossover turned into outfits for the Higurashi cast to wear
It's possible Kitty can grow to cosmic sizes as she sometimes appears on material with another pair of Sanrio characters called the Little Twin Stars, which are literally a pair of stars, but it's more likely this is a feat of the Little Twin Stars' shapeshifting than Kitty's as most of their depictions seem to depict them as being small.
Likely Imagination/Dream Manipulation:
Imagination and Dreams are very important to the people of Mariland, as might be expected given the dreams of humans shape their world. Kuromi pretty much every episode of Onegai My Melody makes a human's dream come true in a way they didn't expect to be mischievous. This was done because changing a dream to a nightmare would give her a black note, 100 of which would have given her the world threatening ultimate nightmare power (6:43)
Sanrio characters will sporadically show the ability to materialize things just by imagining them. In Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures the trio of Kuromi, Pompom, and Baditz seemed to accidentally imagine aliens into being. The plot of the ep is them playing a game and thinking they accidentally brought them out of imagination and while the ep resolution is that it was something else, the end of the strongly implies the aliens are in fact there as they imagined them. Kitty herself doesn't perform this feat but it's fairly reasonable to think she could do this too, as she's certainly not treated as less imaginative than these three.
Possibly the biggest feat of imagination manipulation is Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theatre, albeit with an asterisk. In this series Kitty and her friends perform plays with the stage turning into the world of the play. It's not clear if this transformation is diegetically in the series or it's a representation of watching the play, with some contradictory bits for both interpretations (For instance in Episode 2 Sam as the Pied Piper commands fleas to chase Catnip and they're still doing so after the play ends, but in Episode 3 they weren't done designing Melody's wings so they malfunction in the world of the play). However if you do think this is an example of them bringing things to life from their imagination then they created several play worlds, including a Star Wars parody that takes place "once upon a meow in a galaxy far away" and with several events in the world of the play taking place over an extended period of time longer then a play would take suggesting a different flow of time such as an ep parodying the Grinch that takes place over Christmas Eve and the next day
Physical Power:
Sanrio is not a series focused on fighting or combat, with that said the few times it comes up it's fairly consistent that Kitty is considered the physically strongest of the main cast. She has numerous feats of overpowering other members of the main cast. When Kitty, Kuromi, and My Melody were in a virtual RPG Kitty was the Knight to Kuromi's Black Mage and My Mel's White Mage. During the Hello Kitty/My Hero Academia crossover material, various Sanrio Characters were matched with characters based on their quirk such as Keroppi the Frog with Tsuyu, Tuxedo Sam with a popsicle and hot coffee matched with Shoto, Cinnamoroll on a skateboard with Tenya, etc. Kitty was matched with All-Might suggesting her specialty is in similar regards of physical prowess and inspiring hope. Probably the clearest example comes from the game Hello Kitty Roller Rescue where Earth is invaded by the Block Empire, even the normal footsoldiers of this Empire making the citizens of Sanrio Village flee in terror. Kitty then defeat that same invasion starting with those same foot soldiers and working up to the Block Empire's Mecha.
This game in general has some of the highest physical power feats in the franchise. At the very start of the game, the Block Empire's Mothership destroys a planet with such force it is somehow felt on Earth, the mothership clearly withstanding the shockwaves of its own power,. Kitty stopped this Mothership at its core, causing it to explode and either escaping or withstanding the explosion. After its destruction Block-O, the ruler of the Block Empire forms the Block Empire's Mech, the Block Warrior. Block Warrior is likely stronger than the Mothership, is stated that it will Doom the Earth, and in the bad ending of the game literally turns the Earth into a giant cube. Several villagers from Sanrio village pedaling is enough to charge the Photon Cannon with enough power to defeat Block Warrior, these being the same villagers that Kitty is stronger than, and in the good ending destroys Block Warrior and launches Block-O far into space instantly. Kitty's job in this fight was to "slow down" Block Warrior to keep it from reaching the Photon Cannon as it charged up. During gameplay this involves throwing bombs at Block Warrior and Shooting Cannons at it to slow it down, and in gameplay Kitty can survive attacks from Block Warrior. Also of note is that Kitty's own personal attack is considered comparable to one of the cannons used to slow it down. There's some argument she might be stronger going again into scaling to the Little Twin Stars, which are literal stars and are in Hello Kitty Roller Rescue, Kitty being the one having to save the day against the Block Empire's Invasion and distract Block-O. With that said you could argue that like the energy output of stars is only continent level, and/or that they were stars in the land of stars but that their small forms wouldn't scale to that and they can't turn as big as stars and ram into things since that would destroy the Earth. Broadly, Kitty's best physical feats are in the plantary range, with a potential stellar higher end.
While most Hello Kitty crossovers doesn't really contain fighting, there are some notable feats for Kitty in crossover metal. In the Sonic Dash Hello Kitty event one could play as Hello Kitty in Sonic Dash's usual gameplay, showing her defeating the basic Sonic enemies. I have found very conflicting information about how strong Sonic characters are so I can't really say how strong this is. This is also true with playing Kitty and Melody in Super Mario Maker, defeating basic Mario enemies. In the Hello Kitty/Gundam crossover, Kitty casually blocks an attack from a Gelgoog. Gelgoogs' Beam Rifle is said to rival that of the RX-78-2 which tanked a nuclear blast. In Puzzles and Dragons's Sanrio event, Kitty is considered a 4 Star Enemy, comparable to the Angel Exia who can fill the world with hopeful light and the Demon Crowley who can fill the world with darkness as well as Mjolnir whose tremors shake the continent. In Cookie Run Ovenbreak, Kitty can be played and defeat basic enemies. If she scales at all to the Mid Tiers, she would scale to Pudding a la Mode Cookie who can vaporize oceans and blow up the world. During the Hello Kitty🩷Pac-Man Arcade where normally in the intermission Pac Man would be chased off screen by a ghost only to return as Giant Pac Man chasing the ghost, instead it's Kitty chasing the ghost suggesting Kitty is stronger than the ghosts and Base Pac-Man. Pac-Man is a character that can literally become one with the Earth and in Episode 46 of Pac-Man's Ghostly Adventures he is sucked into a space worm whose breath can pull planets and who has a black hole inside of it. He requires transforming to escape, though just being able to survive being swallowed by a space worm who's sleeping breath pulls planets and going through a Black Hole would probably still be a pretty good feat for Kitty to scale to somewhere in the planetary to stellar range. There are some potential higher-end feats that I will talk about later, with her bestowing power onto other characters.
Speed:
Kitty is also fast enough that she can seem like a blur to her friends. She even moves like a blur to Kuromi who can move like a blur to the others. Kitty has numerous showings of reacting to lightning and lasers. Kuromi uses lasers as part of her normal Halloween Decorations. Kitty explicitly dodges "Photon Balls", photons being light particles. Block Warrior was also able to somewhat react to and try and block the Photon Cannon after it was fired that launched Block-O into space instantly with Kitty treating this Block Warrior as slow and lumbering, mostly meant to dodge its attacks in gameplay and distract it for the Photon Cannon to fire. She was also able to quickly travel to the Moon in a play version of the Tale of the Bamboo Princess and in a play version of Pinocchio she drives a tiny moon to the window of Grandpapetto.
A lot of the crossover scaling still applies. She scales to the speed of baseline enemies of Mario, Sonic, and Cookie Crush, however fast one thinks those are. She was able to match the RX-78-2 in speed flying around in space. Kitty as a 4 Star Monster would be comparable to the Knight of the Sky Verche in Puzzles and Dragons who can run as fast as a bolt of electricity. She also scales to Pac-Man and the Ghosts who can circle the globe quickly and in Season 2, Episode 10 of the Ghostly Adventures of Pac-Man the Ghosts travel from a Cosmic Ghost Pirate Ship back to Pac-World in minutes, which is very clearly FTL.
Statistics Amplification/Transformation:
Kitty, by raising her strawberry cellphone in the air and shouting "Power the Kitty", can absorb the power of her fans and transform into her superhero identity Ichigoman who has enhanced physical capabilities as well as lightning manipulation and shockwave generation. She also has the same ability as other Puzzle and Dungeons Monsters of leveling up by defeating opponents and boosting her power with orbs. She can also lightly boost her physical capabilities for apples. Kitty's Skill in Puzzles and Dragons Apple Power boosts the power of balanced characters by 1.5x. Outside apples she was able to boost her power from eating a dumpling.
Supernatural Charisma/Power-Bestowal:
Kitty like a lot of Sanrio characters has a potent ability to make friends even winning over the love of Hive Mind Insects like Bees in seconds. In an adaptation of Snow White, she had the usual princess quality of people and animals instantly loving her except for the Evil Queen, is said to be the most beautiful princess even known, her beauty is said to be out of this world with a beauty divine that reached across the land in their adapation of the Bamboo Princess story, and in their version of Hansel and Gretel, the birds apologized for eating their bread crumbs by showing them the way home. This can also allow them to bring out the potential of their friends. In Puzzles and Dragons, Kitty and Tyrra is a 5 Star Monster made from combining the 4 Star Kitty and 2 Star Tyrra, a small fire lizard. For comparison 5 Star Monsters like Iida can contribute half the energy to create new stars and shoot beams into space at millions of times the speed of light. (21:15) The implication seems to be that Kitty brought that level of power out of Tyrra. In the Higurashi crossover, Kitty and her friends are able to grant Rena and her friends enough power to fight a Fragment (Kakera) by turning into outfits for them to wear. Kakera are crystallizations of concepts such as alternate worlds, possibilities, and fates containing entire universes. Kitty giving Rena enough power to fight one therefore is an even greater level power boost, though this may not scale to Kitty directly as Sanrio characters sometimes show the power to bestow a level of power above themselves, with Melody doing this almost every episode of Onegai My Melody.
Self-Sustenance:
Even outside her immaterial form, Kitty has shown the ability to act unhindered both underwater and in space.
Enhanced Agility:
Kitty is the protagonist of numerous platformer games including Hello Kitty to Hanabatake which shows Kitty going through a series of platforming that it presents as literally her daily routine just to water flowers, including making jumps bigger than she is tall and jumping between moving water pots in midair. This is something she can apparently do on a daily casual basis. In Hello Kitty World, Kitty levitates around on a Balloon avoiding dangerous obstacles. She was also able to dodge a laser trap in the Block Empire Mothership. She can also double jump.
Flight/Levitation:
In numerous versions, Kitty depicts the ability to levitate herself and others as well as fly, even becoming a streak of pink energy flying alongside RX-78-2 in the Gundam crossover.
Immersion/Metafictional Movement:
Kitty in Crossover Promotional Art with Ring is shown exiting a television as Sadako does. She's also appeared in a computer before and was able to enter the world of Gundam which she watched on Television prior in the Gundam crossover.
Potential Water Manipulation:
Not sure what to make of a potential feat but in Hello Kitty to Hanabatake Kitty waters flowers that are... already underwater. It's not clear how to take this feat, but underwater lakes and rivers ARE a thing formed when dense bodies of water have a much higher salinity then the surrounding area. Or it could be just an odd gag feat, akin to characters making fire underwater in cartoons like Spongebob.
Fire Manipulation:
In Puzzles and Dragons, Kitty is classified as a Fire Attribute Monster, suggesting some level of fire manipulation.
Light Manipulation/Paralysis:
In Gundam vs. Hello Kitty, Kitty created a blinding light with her transformation and travel. In the adaptation of the Bamboo Princess story, the people of the Moon emanated a light that paralyzed those who saw it, and Kitty is one of them.
Energy Manipulation:
In Hello Kitty Roller Rescue, Kitty's wand is charged with a pink energy called "Love Radiation" which she uses to push aside enemies, even in groups at once.
Forcefield Creation/Attack Reflection:
Kitty can create an invisible forcefield that blocks attacks coming at her in a cascade of hearts before returning the energy onto her opponent. She was also able to reflect tracing missiles back to the sender.
Purification/Restoration:
Kitty's energy when redirected turned the Gelgoog into a Chibier, Cuter, and Friendlier version because she accidentally caused this transformation to happen to many other robots as she and Amuro flew around in space. She restored a pie by physically putting her love into it, her feelings undid a witch's curse, was able to make Sam and Chip's noses shrink after they grew from lying, and during the Higurashi crossover after the battle was done she and her friends restored the town.

Psychic Powers:
Kitty has shown both telekinesis as well as telepathic communication. In fact the reason Kitty does not have a mouth according to Sanrio is because she speaks to the heart past any language barrier.
Life-Granting/Clothing Manipulation:
Hello Kitty made a snowman which is very heavily implied to have come to life. In the adaptation of Pinocchio she also turned Sam from a penguin puppet into a real penguin which also changed his outfit.
Resistances:
In Roller Rescue gameplay, Kitty can be turned into a block and return to normal. In Onegai My Melody, Kuromi and Baku are able to survive relatively unaffected the power of the Spirit of Dark Power that was transmuting everything on Earth and draining their dreams (3:12) Like Most High Power Puzzles and Dragons characters she also should have some resistance to all the basic orb types giving Resistance to various forms of Element Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Poison, and Status Effects
Hammerspace:
Kitty on multiple instances, has pulled large objects out of small bags or out of nowhere.
The equipment she's typically had is mostly fairly mundane objects like a mallet to whack things, balloons to float, and roller skates to move quicker. She did use a magic pendant that reflected a mouse witch's magic back at her and ambiguously defeated another large mouse enemy in a Nutcracker adaptation. There is one other exception:
Mech:
In the Ichigoman Manga, Kitty has a Mech that regularly fights Major Mecha threats that are much stronger than Kitty. The exact power level is unknown, so just treat it as an unknown but substantial amount stronger than Ichigoman.
Temporary Power-Ups:
As mentioned, because Kitty can be played in Mario Maker, Sonic Dash, and Cookie Run Ovenbreak, she can use all the powerups in those games, though the degree this is allowed in a normal vs match is not really standard-izeable.
Reactive Evolution/Alternate Forms:
A mechanic in Puzzles and Dragons is that various Monsters have evolved forms that are stronger. There are numerous alternate versions of Kitty in the game, especially with the latest update. Curiously some of these are not listed as evolutions of Kitty. As this is a Composite they would presumably be allowed in some form? This is important cause these forms are the strongest things for Kitty. These Forms regularly get into 6, 7, and even 8 Stars. These characters would be relative to entities that can cause the mystic dimension to fall apart if they count. I would treat these forms as specific conditional transformations Kitty can achieve but aren't standard
Goddess Kitty: A Light Attribute Monster (Light in P&D also encompassing Lightning) with Time Manipulation, Power Bestowal, and Healing
Princess Valkitty: A further evolution of Goddess Kitty with the same powers but greater
Further Fire Evolutions: Witch Madookitty, Great Witch of the Bedchamber Hello Kitty, Witch Remukitty: Stronger Fire Manipulation, Damage Reduction, and Dream Manipulation
Further Water Evolutions: Witch Reechekitty, Great Witch of the Enchanting Seas Hello Kitty, Witch Norzakitty: Stronger Water and Ice Manipulation, and Damage Reduction
Further Wood Evolutions: Great Witch Zela Kitty, Great Witch of the Deep Forest, Witch Aljaekitty: Stronger Wood and Earth Manipulation, Storm Creation, and Damage Reduction
Further Light Evolutions: Good Morning Hello Kitty, Goddess of Daybreak Aura Hello Kitty, Witch Salinekitty, Great Witch of the Open Sky, Witch Fascakitty, Good Day Hello Kitty, Goddess of Day Meredith Hello Kitty: Stronger Light Manipulation, Lightning Manipulation, Power Bestowal, Healing, and Damage Reduction as well as Astroremkinesis (Manipulation of Celestial Bodies, these forms can raise the Sun and cause Daytime)
Further Dark Evolutions: Rattine Hello Kitty, Witch Rattine Hello Kitty, Witch Veroah Kitty, Great Witch of the Mirrored Hall Hello Kitty, Witch Nellekitty, Good Night Hello Kitty, Goddess of Night Noctaria Hello Kitty: Stronger Dark Manipulation, Healing, Dream-Scrying, Mirror Manipulation, and Astroremkinesis (Lunar, can raise the Moon and cause Nighttime)
Ultimate Form: Master of the Great Witches, Hello Kitty: An 8 Star Monster who has mastered all magic types
Intelligence:
In the same way Kitty is treated as particularly physically powerful compared to the other Sanrio characters, she is in recent depictions, considered generally more competent and sensible, with a relatively high general intelligence. The other Sanrio characters believe it's impossible for her to fail because she's Hello Kitty, her bow being 0.05 degrees crooked is considered a sign something is wrong, and during the Block Empire's invasion, the other characters' plan was basically just to support and help Kitty. She was the only one to see through the epidemic of bad news, solved the train mystery before anyone else, and built the second fastest car in their car derby, coming in first the second race after Chococat started playing to have fun instead of to win. Also in the Lost Media amusement park attraction film Monsters of Planet Godzilla it was revealed the general of Earth's forces to stop Godzilla was... Kitty White. This means that scaling her to the other characters in general intelligence would probably be fair.
The most important one for this scaling is Chococat who is treated as a genius inventor. Even just in Supercute adventures where Kitty is treated as relative to him, he has created an anti-gravity ray, a shrink ray that could also make things grow and implied to be able to shrink things subatomic, a kindness machine made with unstable proto-matter making it not work quite right, a robot Keroppi, a machine to help Pompompurin fly, a machine that projected Kuromi, Melody, and Baditz into movies, and a time machine that he specifically wanted Kitty's help with to make sure nothing went wrong. Chococat is probably the smartest Sanrio character and may scale to the technology seen in Roller Rescue including a teleportation device and the cannon that defeated Block Warrior. While he is the smartest though, nothing suggests he's substantially smarter then Kitty in general intelligence with Kitty helping him build his time machine and fix a funhouse that contained a portal to the Onyx Dimension. It also means she should scale to Kuromi who even in Supercute Adventures uses advanced gadgets like ghost-hunting equipment, it's implied has tech that can teleport objects on two seperate instances, and was able to identify a piece for Chococat's time machine, something that's referenced in a later season when she remakes the time machine from a prior ep. She was also able to somehow turn her house and everything in it into pumpkin for pumpkin day and easily manipulated the boys.
Outside of general intelligence, Kitty has also mastered many skills. The most relevant of these are her combat skills, magic skills, and acrobatics. In Puzzles and Dragons she is considered a master of all forms of magic with max exp suggesting she is perfectly skilled in combat as well as basically defeating an alien invasion all by herself. Notably, this is a verse where Melody's grandma beat an archery contest by hitting all the targets at once and Kitty has fought numerous presumably stronger enemies at once. Likewise as mentioned just to do her regular flower watering requires masterful acrobatics, she's avoided laser traps, and she has been the protagonist in numerous platformer gamers. She's also mastered a ton of other skills that are less relevant in combat such as acting, medicine, piano etc.
Also, she canonically kicks ass
Weaknesses:
Obviously, Kitty from a powerscaling perspective is a bit odd in that Sanrio as a verse is broadly very peaceful and saccharine, and while she has fought several times even in canonical stories, Kitty like most Sanrio characters, is not one for combat, preferring to make friends. Like the other Sanrio characters would likely avoid trying to harm her opponent seriously in a fight first, and could be manipulated by a more malevolent personality. This is also why she doesn't have that many defensive abilities, as people simply don't try to harm her that often.
Beyond that, Kitty can be impulsive and reckless. While her optimism and positive attitude are part of what make her appealing, they also lead to her assuming the best will happen which can lead her to be taken off guard when don't go right. She also had the weakness of being too independent, thinking she needs to solve everything herself because she is THE Hello Kitty instead of relying on others to help.
Also she is very easy to distract, especially with butterflies, because... she's a cat.
Personality:
50 Years ago the first Hello Kitty Product was released. Since then, she has amassed a massive brand her with even her friends getting large series devoted to them, becoming the second highest grossing brand in the world (After Pokémon), and essentially embodying the Kawaii culture, emphasizing softness, cuteness, and childlike innocence. She is a representation of a particular value in Japan, one of pure-hearted sweetness and cuteness as the predominant aesthetic, bringing magic to the mundane and spirit to the inanimate, becoming an official and unofficial cultural ambassador of Japan.
Part of the reason she could do this is because of what she represents. Kitty is drawn with no mouth so that no matter one feels, one can feel along with her. Kitty is drawn with no mouth because she does not speak from the mouth but from the heart, communicating past language barriers. Kitty is a perpetual optimist, someone who greets each day as full of possibility and excitement. She is open-hearted and eager for adventure, excitable, curious, and with a love for fun, the prototype for the kind of energetic but innocent young girl character that took the world by storm since Kitty's emergence.
Kitty's depictions have broadly grown more mature along with her original audience and her brand image form a spunky and curious child to a friendly adult who sometimes bites off more then she can chew but has established a network of friends to help her. She has been so SO many things from quite literally a goddess to a devil, a child to a superhero, a leader to a loner, but what remains the fundamental core of Kitty White is seeing something new: a new person, a new day, a new adventure and excitedly saying "Hello!"

When I first started this analysis, there was one opponent I had in mind for Kitty, and as I did more research, the matchup only seemed to make more and more sense to the point that I genuinely think this would be a perfect matchup and can't see them fighting anyone else.
Recommended Opponent:
Garfield:
During the 1970s two fictional cats were made on opposite ends of the globe that would go on to be massive merchandising giants and quite possibly the two most famous cats in all of fiction. Despite this in both personality and what they represented culturally, they were complete opposites. While Kitty is friendly, excitable, and adventurous, representing the childish innocence and emotional softness of kawaii, Garfield was rude, snarky, and lazy, representing a rebellious devil may care attitude that also became popular in the 1970s. These two brand icons not only started as almost opposite attitudes: Optimistic vs Cynical, Adventurous vs Lazy, Friendly vs Confrontational, but what they morphed into in modern meaning and meme culture is also the inverse with Garfield being meme-d as some kind of eldritch horror while Kitty is meme-d as befriending eldritch horrors, the two possibly most famous cats in all of fiction representing deflating something mundane by making it horrific and deflating something horrific by making it mundane. And what makes it better is that somehow the two have almost parallel-ing feats with feats that are pretty safely in the FTL and Planetary Ranges with highball feats that keep paralleling each other, with even their lower feats and their abilities having a lot of parallels. I genuinely think these two could not have a better matchup for each other then this.
Next Time:
Thank you to Thor for this amazing trailer for my next VS Prediction and thank you the reader for your patience.
