The Family Cat was a British independent band founded in 1989. The band played live for 5 years and recorded 3 albums. Their labels were Bad Girl and Dedicated and their first single was "Tom Verlaine". Their only mainstream chart entries were "Magic Happens" and "Airplane Gardens".

Influenced by the last 30 years of popular music from the Beatles to Scott Walker to the Velvet Underground, their music was very melodic and radio friendly but in spite of critical acclaim from the music press the band were unable to reach the heights of "Britpop" bands like Oasis or Blur.
