This person wrote hey Cat what's wrong with you I wish I knew seriously my parents have
taken me to doctors but they don't even know there's a theory see my mom used to be a competitive
breath holder I swear she can hold her breath for like four minutes she could be a dolphin
except she's not grey or that great a swimmer anyway apparently she used to hold her breath
when she was pregnant with me a lot so some people think that's why I tend to be like
okay I should go time's up
Catarina Valentine is a very strange character to say the least in season one she's a ditzy
but bright girl with a tendency to bounce from happy-go-lucky to huffy and puffy in
season two her voice raises a few octaves but she's still a pretty normal if a bit air
headed teenager then you get to seasons three and four and well
you want to know what flavor it is don't you and this only got worse when she got her own
spin-off Sam & Cat but why did this happen what could have caused Cat to quickly coast
off to the corner of the crazy cuckoo Cathedral well let's take a look
a girl doesn't dye her hair that color unless she has psychological problems my hair color
has nothing to do nothing to do with my psychological problem
one of Cat's most consistent traits is her love for her friends through both Victorious
and Sam & Cat she never wants her friends to get hurt and she's almost always willing
to help them whenever they ask for it she's also extremely talented she's able to sing
to dance she can act she's a great cook she keeps her balance on the very difficult rabbit
bull ride in "The Gorilla Club" she's shown to be a great makeup artist in "Tori the Zombie"
and lest we forget she makes her own stage costumes in her costume class and is able
to accurately predict Beck's measurements just by looking at him in "Beck Falls for
Tori"* to say she's a very well-rounded student would be an understatement but with all this
talent comes some very bizarre quirks Cat often forgets the number three keeps food
in her bra she's addicted to a children's candy called Bibble she dates a lot of boys
who never stay in a relationship with her for very long she has a habit of spending
more money than she should and earlier on she has a phrase that she says repeatedly
what's that supposed to mean what's that supposed to mean
which actually originated from 1999's The Amanda Show sketch Moody's point you know
the one where misty says I just finished washing my hair with that special shampoo recipe and
I want to dry it before it dries what's that supposed to mean okay bye did you know that
huh did you anyway separately these quirks can come off as well quirks but together they
seem like symptoms for something much more serious maybe Cat has low level autism it
would explain a few things and knowing how unstable her brother is her parents probably
wouldn't put her through cognitive behavioral therapy or any sort of treatment because in
their eyes she's fine after all she has friends gets good grades is very talented and seems
to function a lot better than her brother does we're onto something here but personally
I don't think Cat is autistic it wouldn't explain her rapid and unrelenting mood changes
but you know what might explain it a video from the slap.com where Robbie sings about
each character okay there's this girl named Tori she goes to a school it's a performing
arts school where the kids make the rules her teacher is the psycho no ifs ands or buts
wearing sandals in class and drinking milk from coconuts her sister is a diva she's a
real pain bar none she thinks she can sing even with a giant tongue her friend's name
is Andre he's got a mind of a poet he plays a crazy piano and he can really really flow
it Tori's nice to Jade but Jade's mean to Tori where's the sense in that well I guess
that makes a good story and Cat is bipolar she can really do in they're a crazy cast
of characters let's sing it all again wait what and Cat is bipolar she can really do
you in and Cat is bipolar she can really do you in Cat is bipolar what this means is her
mood alternates between mania and depression according to the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders otherwise known as the DSM I'm using the fifth edition the
diagnostic criteria for manic episodes has seven noticeable symptoms number one is inflated
self-esteem or grandiosity number two is decreased need for sleep number three is being more
talkative than usual or feeling pressure to keep talking number four is flight of ideas
or subjective experience that thoughts are racing number five is distractability number
six is increase in goal-directed activity or psycho-motor agitation and number seven
is excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painful consequences
do these sound familiar Cat Valentine's over-the-top behavior can easily be attributed to her going
through one of her manic episodes now that we know that we need to determine what type
of bipolar disorder she has yeah there's more than one after doing some research it seems
that type 1 bipolar disorder previously known as manic depression would be the most likely
candidate it contains both full manic episodes and major depressive episodes has an onset
as early as childhood and is twice as likely in women than it is in men by golly I think
we've got it but the question that still remains is how did this happen well two causes of
mood disorders are stressful life events and genetics um Trina maybe you should pull over
if you're gonna put on lip gloss maybe you should talk less that's what my dad always
says
the valentine family is very odd it's amazing how much we know about them despite never
actually seeing many of them we know that her uncle Jesse soaks his feet in chicken
fat every Sunday her aunt Pearl and uncle Walter don't flush the toilet unless absolutely
necessary her cousin Jesse shot her brother her mother used to be a competitive breath
holder her dad thinks she should talk less and her brother has a laundry list of psychological
problems and criminal offenses Cat's Nonna seems like the only normal person in her family
as we can see in Sam & Cat Cat's family is clearly missing a few screws but the only
real indication of anything more going on is in this scene all boyfriends and girlfriends
fight a lot don't they well sometimes but yes or no let her talk you never listen me
talk can I go now I'm under my bed I'm under my bed this scene always comes to mind when
I think of Cat's home life maybe her parents argue a lot maybe her brother and her parents
argue a lot and Cat hiding under her bed is her way of coping with the fear of domestic
abuse as much as I'd love to speculate this really is all we have on the subject the point
is Cat's disorder wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility if her family is anything
to go by despite all of that Cat shows nothing but love for her parents and her parents love
her at least they love her enough to send her to school with a bodyguard to help her
Bibble addiction the only other thing I could find on her family was this one time my brother
found a vacuum cleaner in our church basement he took it home and now he keeps it in his
room you should call the church and tell them he has it oh they wouldn't want it back Cat's
family goes to church are they Christian or Catholic what denomination how long have they
been going my name is cat here's a video for you I know it's not fancy but it's something
to do so if you get bored just come online to the slap.com where everything's fine a-deep-bop-doop-dop-doobadi-doo
all the students at Hollywood Arts have a locker that represents them Andre's has a
piano that requires him to play music in order to open up Robbie's locker has a mosaic of
baby bottle nipples from his childhood with a separate bottom locker for Rex showing his
attachment to his childhood and Beck's locker is transparent because he has nothing to hide
or he has nothing going on but we're never shown Cat or Trina's Locker if this behind-the-scenes
photo is anything to go by we can assume that this is Cat's locker it's pink with what looks
like a red rose until you look closer and see that it's actually a ladybug climbing
out of wild grass Cat Valentine appears to be this beautiful symbol of love joy and happiness
from afar but the closer you get to her the more visible the truth becomes the ladybug
being the hidden truth about her mentality and the wild grass being her unstable home
life forever trapped against this world coated in her favorite color pink Cat Valentine the
beautiful parasite whoo all right there you go you asked for it and I made it sorry for

I did have another theory about Cat it had to do with her medicine prescriptions and
how they might be giving her too much dopamine which resulted in her becoming a lot more
childish later on in the show I just couldn't find enough evidence to support it anyway
