Katie

"W-want M-Mommy..."

- Katie

Katie (まいこちゃん Maiko-chan) is the daughter of Kaitlin the cat. She is a small yellow kitten with brown hair and small black eyes with eyelashes. She wears a blue dress with a pink flower on it. In Wild World or City Folk, shortly after visiting another town via Wi-fi, either you or your friend may find Katie crying in your town. When talked to she will tell you that she has been separated from her mother and will beg you to take her to the town of your friend. If you refuse, she will start sniveling instead of crying. If you say that you will take her to Kaitlin, Katie will follow you to your town gate. Be sure that you walk slowly, because if you walk too fast, Katie will fall over and cry. The only building Katie can go into is the town gate. If you go into any other building, she will not follow you. When you leave the building, she will cry and ask you where you were.

Scene in Wild World or City Folk
When you reunite Katie with her mother, you will see a little scenario:

Katie: Mommy! (runs to Kaitlin) MOMMY!

Kaitlin: You! Oh where have you been, you naughty kitten?

Katie: Sniff? S-sorry, Mommy...Waaaah!

Kaitlin: Oh for goodness sakes, what am I going to do with this child, always wandering off...(turns to player) you there! Are you the kind-hearted soul who brought her back to me? Oh thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done without you! Katie! You naughty kitten! Say thank you to the nice person!

Katie: Sniff...sniff...Th-thank you.

Kaitlin: Well I suppose we should be heading home. I must thank you again. You are truly an angel. Hey say goodbye!

Katie: Bye bye!

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Katie has grown older now and travels without her mother from town to town. If she visits your town, she will be seen walking around your town and ask you if you could take her to a friend's town. If you take her with you to the train station, she will either get on the train with you or lose her ticket and miss the train as a result. Regardless, you will still get a gift from her the next day via a letter. If she missed the train, she will tell you in the letter that she got the next one.
