Relationships[]
The Pussycat family[]
As it was stated above, Kitty has been remaining a warm relationship with the Pussycats since their kitten age. It was not affected in a negative way. She was one of the first, who aided Delilah in her return to the society after the incident with Mechanikat.
Ian Zaleski[]
Their relationship began from teaching Ian English, during the "Operation Scratching Thunder" - Kitty was attracted by Ian's physical appearance at first, which was deepened after learning his warmer side of his personality. Ian's presence caused Kitty and Delilah to feel jealous about him since both females had a returned crush on him; Ian's marriage with Delilah caused Kitty temporary grief both towards her childhood friend and her love.
The grief passed away in the "Cat-a-Clysm" episode when Kitty was married to Ian for the purpose of the mission the Team Pussycat was assigned for. After the legalization of that marriage, Kitty's attitude towards Ian and Delilah changed in a positive way. She later gave birth to Ian's daughter Christina.
The remaining Team Pussycat members[]
Kitty has been maintaining healthy relationships with all the remaining team pussycat members, there have not been any serious issues with her team mates.
The Comintern[]
The experiences with the Russian Communist Party members taught Kitty great disdain towards the communards:
- she has encountered Dolt-on-Istov on several occasions, starting from "Dial D for Drunkard" episode, when his regular habits disgusted her. The issue has gotten more severe in Season 5 when Doltie attempted to serve Kitty and her closest family (including her daughter and niece) alcohol as a family dinner course - it ended up with destroying Dolt-on-Istov's alcohol surplus;
- Paskudnikov and Igor Tolstyi have made attempts in wooing Kitty before and after her marriage to Ian Zaleski. Usually, she takes care of the lupine communist, while Ian handles the Siberian Forest comrade.
