Catchphrases	"...go fig'"

Rita is a fiesty grey and white cat who is often seen singing. She accompanies her best friend Runt on their adventures to find a home. She is first seen in Episode 7: "Piano Rag / When Rita Met Runt" after her owner sends her to the pound for being "so independent."

Personality:

Rita is a stereotypical cat, independent, cold, aloof, intelligent, and sarcastic. However, this is a front masking a soft side of her that really longs for affection. This side of her is shown in numerous episodes, such as "Smitten With Kittens". She is often frustrated by Runt's dimwittedness, at first treating him with disdain and stating that once they found a home, she would leave and he was on his own, but gradually warms up to him throughout the episodes, even giving him a kiss on the head in one episode, and displaying relief in seeing him when she is captured by a chef. Her affection for Runt extends to when she is taken by a girl onto a train to live in a beautiful home, she jumps off when Runt is attacked by another dog before he can get onto the train, and she beats the stuffing out of the other dog, going on to tell Runt she has grown fond of him and she will never go anywhere without him, that they would find a home together  or not find one at all. 

Her voice was provided by actress and singer, Bernadette Peters.
