Broadcast[]
Kitty Is Not a Cat premiered on 7TWO in Australia on 20 April 2018. The first season concluded on 25 May 2018. Season 2 premiered on 11 November 2019, but did not complete its broadcast; after the episodes "Sibling Rivalry/Dog Whistling" aired on 29 November 2019, the rest of the season would not air on the channel, for unknown reasons. The show is no longer airing on the channel at all; as of August 2024, its third and final season has not aired in the country.
The entirety of Season 2 would see release on Kartoon Channel in the United States in November 2021, including the episodes that have not aired in Australia to this day. The service does not have Season 1, unlike various other American streaming services. The copies that the service hosts has also shortened the show's theme song from one minute long to 15 seconds, which has also happened when the show aired on DreamWorks Channel in the Middle East and TVP ABC in Poland for unknown reasons; when Season 2 aired in Australia, the opening theme was its regular 1-minute length.
All three seasons have aired in English on ETV Bal Bharat in India since its launch on April 27, 2021, with Season 3 premiering sometime in May 2023. It would be the first international release of that season's episodes in English; however the season has also aired prior in Poland and China.
Showmax, a streaming service in South Africa, would also host all three seasons of the show. In either 2020 or 2021[5], the service had the first two seasons. It is not known when they began hosting Season 3, and eventually the show would later be removed from the service. The series, including Season 3, was added back to the service in August 2024. This is the first release of Season 3 in English in high-def quality.
Worldwide[]
In South Africa, the show premiered on Disney Channel on 23 April 2018, only a few days after its original release in Australia. In New Zealand, the show is broadcast on TVNZ 2 from 2019 to 2020. Only the first season has aired on both of these channels.
In the United States, the first season was released for free, and out of order, on the Roku channel around December 2019, although it was later removed from the service. Kidoodle.TV would later stream the first season of the show. Sensical hosts a randomly assorted group of episodes of the first season. A few episodes of the first season are also available on Oznoz.
In the United Kingdom, as of March 2021 episodes are available on demand via Virgin Media's Virgin Kids section. However, since these are listed by title and not by episode number it is unclear whether any episodes have been omitted. On Amazon Prime Video, the first 6 episodes are also available on the service.
International versions[]
On Jetpack Distribution's now closed site, they note that they have commissioned Danish, Hollandic Dutch, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Malay, Norwegian, Swedish, Thai, Taiwanese Mandarin, European Portuguese, Latin American Spanish and Persian dubs - however, as of 2025, they have not premiered yet.[6]
