“Spandex is the best disguise.”
― Picture quote, Wild World
Kid Cat (1ごう,#1?) is a jockcatvillager. His name may come from his childish looks and attitude, and the fact that he is a cat, and may also be a reference to Kid Flash, a character from DC Comics. His name could also be referring to KitKats, a type of chocolate bar. He is one of the five superhero villagers, the others being Agent S (No. 2), Big Top (No. 3), Rocket (No. 4), and Filly (No. 7). His initial phrase, "psst," is a sound made when confiding a secret and is an onomatopoeic word used to describe the sound a feline makes.
Kid Cat is a white cat with a red helmet and sweat bands. His ears are light blue on the inside while white on the outside, sticking out from his helmet. His tail is white transitioned to light blue and his sweat bands are red when colored with a white tip. He has large, wide-open eyes which are covered by his helmet's visor. He initially wears a No. 1 shirt, which matches his red helmet.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
Kid Cat has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated, but often come across as self-centered and dense. As a jock villager, Kid Cat is very interested in his hobby, and may compete against the player at catching bugs and fish. Jock villagers get along with peppy, cranky, and sisterly villagers, but conflict with the laid-back lifestyle of lazy villagers. Snooty villagers may also be difficult to get along with for Kid Cat.
His name in the German version of City Folk was a translator's mistake - "Petra" being a feminine German name.
Kid Cat is most likely a reference to the famous Japanese Tokusatsu franchise, Super Sentai. Due to him being part of a team of five superheroes which all have suits with different colors, all having a number, 1 being Kid Cat's number referencing that the leaders are usually represented by the number 1. in a Sentai team, red is the color used by the leaders of a Sentai team and his Picture Quote is also referencing the fact that the suits used in the Super Sentai series are made of spandex.
Similarly, Kid Cat's pose looks exactly like the Kamen Rider transformation pose. Which was a series made by the same company that created Super Sentai, Toei.
