Arguably, what's really inside a Dalek travel machine!

I had to pull our youngest cat Arya out of the toilet one morning as I was trying to leave for work. She had blue toilet bowl stuff on her so I had to give her an impromptu bath and blow-dry. My boss just laughed when I called her to tell her why I was going to be late.

Assuming you're possibly asking legitimately, Tennant's Doctor makes the comment in "Fear Her" because of the events in "New Earth", facing off the corrupt Sisters of Plenitude (a race of "CatKind", felines who had evolved into sapience). However, during his return to New Earth in 'GridLock", he encounters Brannigan, a kindly male CatKind, his human wife, and their children (taking after their father's side of the family). Meeting Brannigan and later a repentant Novice Hame (a young Sister who knew nothing of the earlier nefarious actions but was arrested anyway), helped to change the Doctor's opinions about cats. The "kitten" he is cuddling in that GIF is meant to be one of Brannigan's kids. They even got a shot where the production dubbed in the word "Momma!" when the kitten meowed.

So, yeah, we know Colin Baker's Doctor liked cats (hence his various pins), Tennant's Doctor was "turned off" by traumatic events, but later reevaluated his opinion.

On the other hand, you may have seen these episodes and are just having a bit of fun.
 
It probably would have proven too impractical because the makeup appliances were so delicate as to be single use only, but I would love for the Doctor to wind up with a CatKind traveling companion. I'm still amazed at the detail put into those face pieces.Though for "just" TV, those appliances had "fur" punched into the foam rubber (or maybe silicone). Usually, productions, even movies, "make do" with pieces simply "painted" with patterns to suggest fur. But these were actually "fuzzy", something normally reserved for only the most robust movies.
 
They used to sink good money into the reboot during Eccleston and Tennant.

The Moff took over and I'm not so sure the Beeb had as much confidence in him.

All personal speculation and no basis in reality other than I witnessed the quality of Who drop significantly even in Moffat's very first episode with Smith. Can we say film-school shot with the cricket bat, if that?
