There are few characters as rooted in speculation in the Neil Gaiman novella Coraline, as the cat. Countless Coraline YouTubers have come up with their own strange theories about who this feline really is, so in this video I'll be looking to put the mystery to rest by exploring everything we know about the cat.

The cat is the only character other than Coraline herself with no Other World counterpart, and he lacks any real name. We can use clues in the story and similarities to depictions of cats throughout history and to learn more about the cat and start to draw some conclusions.

This will cover the entire known history of the cat from the novella. Please note that this will only analyze the characters as written in the book. I will show clips from the 2009 movie as a visual aid, and talk a little bit about the movie version of the cat at the end, but for the purposes of Horror History, the book is canon!
