Catnip

Catnip is a siamese cat, who is likely of Mediterranean, Eastern European, or Jamaican descent (probably all three) and from the Northeast. She only made an appearance in Sanrio's 1987 work entitled Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater, where she was notorious for playing roles such as Darth Vader, Ebenezer Scrooge, Count Dracula, Dr. Frankenstein, and various fairytale villains in plays that Hello Kitty and her friends put on. She was voiced by Cree Summer Francks. The likely reason she has never appeared in any Sanrio work since is because she and her bulldog companion named Grinder probably joined a gang of some form.
