Kamineko Kamineko is a seemingly harmless cat that Sakaki encounters every morning on her way to school. However, Kamineko is not as harmless as he looks because every single time Sakaki tries to pet him, he bites her. He seems to hold a real grudge against Sakaki, because at one point he gathers all of the cats in the neighbourhood to attack her.

Tadakichi-san Tadakichi-san is Chiyo's dog. Apparently he is a French breed. He's very docile and gentle, which is good for Chiyo, because he's about the same size that she is. Chiyo walks him nightly as part of her routine. Sakaki adores him too (probably because he doesn't try to bite her), and is always eager to walk and pet him.

Chiyo ChiChi (Chiyo's dad) Chiyo ChiChi is obviously not actually Chiyo's dad. It's a weird cat thing that appears in Sakaki's dreams, proclaiming to be Chiyo's father. It speaks, it flies, and it has tea with Chiyo. Even though it only appears in Sakaki's dreams, she tends to think of it as real, and mentions it many times throughout the series.

Yamamaya (Maya) Maya (short for Yamamaya) is a mountain cat from Okinawa. The girls meet him on their class trip and *gasp* he actually likes Sakaki. Later on when Maya's mother dies, he makes his way to Tokyo and finds Sakaki again. Since Sakaki can't have pets at home, Chiyo offers to keep Maya until Sakaki moves out. Finally, poor Sakaki gets a cat of her very own!
