This article is about the main character. For the deranged feline, see Cat.
Katarina "Kat" Cassidy is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Kenny) of Kenny The Shark.
Appearance[]
Her usual outfit consists of a purple midriff shirt, red sandals (later sneakers) and navy denim jeans, though on some occasions she wears a purple one-piece swimsuit with a yellow zig-zag across the center. She also has green eyes, shoulder-length black hair, fair skin and freckles. On one episode, she wore a purple tracksuit with yellow design and red shoes.
Personality[]
Kat is optimistic and fun-loving but does get in trouble for some reasons. She is dedicated to Kenny's protection, and will not hesitate to use force against those who would wish to hurt him, as seen in "Kenny-napped!".
Kat is also an elementary/middle school student who‘s also the only human (aside from the viewer) who can understand Kenny's language.
Early Life[]
Kat was born in Tiburon, California. She is 10 in the series.
History[]
As seen in the title sequence, Kenny and Kat first met at a pet store. They became best friends instantly.
Besides Kenny, she does never seem to have any friends except for Oscar.
Kat has accompanied Kenny on all of his adventures, whether she likes it or not.

Trivia[]
- She switches between wearing usual shoes and sandals in some episodes. Though she seems to wear sandals the most.
- She’s trans.
- Kat appears to have two different animation models; at most, her hair either hangs straight down or curls up on either side, in the style of the 1950's (see gallery). The straight-haired look became more common in season 2 and is often seen with Peter Cassidy's "brunette" color scheme.
- The aforementioned "1950's" style appears to be the finalized animation model, as it was used in the opening titles.
- We guess her full name is Katarina because of the episode "I Love the Nightlife" after Kenny says "Kat. Oh, Katarina." in a sing-song voice.
- According to "The Check Up", she had dentophobia, the fear of dentists.
- In "Kenny the Veggie" she became a vegetarian.
- Her different outfits across the series include a wig and glasses, a dress, a heist jacket, an old-timey diving suit, pajamas, skateboarding/rollerblading gear and a soccer uniform.
- Her hobbies/interests include (as read above) skateboarding, roller-blading, playing video games, soccer, reading books on ocean life, surfing and (for a short period) the saxophone.
- She’s very similar to June from Little Einsteins. The only two differences being that she has green eyes and June has brown, and while June is obsessed with dancing, Kat is not.
- It’s revealed that Kat used to have a lot of cool friends but none like to hang out with her anymore because she has Kenny and they’re afraid.
