==Speedy deletion of [[:Brian Phipps]]==
The '''Catbus''' (or ネコのバス, '''Neko no basu''') is one of the two most recognizable characters in the [[Studio Ghibli]] film ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'', directed by [[Hayao Miyazaki]]. It is a large creature, depicted as a grinning cat with a hollow body that serves as a [[bus]], complete with windows and seats coated with fur, and a large bushy tail. A door magically appears when a person would like to board it to travel. With its multiple [[caterpillar]]-like legs, it runs, flies, bounces, and hops across forests and lakes to reach its destination, making whole [[rice]] fields sway in its wake. Its eyes shine a yellow light brightly like headlamps to guide it. Mice with glowing eyes suspended next to its destination sign and from its rump serve as running and tail lights. The Catbus is visibly female, as can be seen during minutes 79-81 of the film.

==Speedy deletion of [[:Jason Cahoon]]==
With its large elongated smile and its ability to appear and disappear at will, Catbus is reminiscent of the [[Cheshire Cat]] from ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]''. Often used to transport Totoros, in the film it makes an exception to help the O-Totoro. When O-Totoro asked it to help Satsuki find her lost sister Mei, its destination sign read "next stop, little sister". After the sisters are reunited, the Catbus volunteers to whisk Mei and Satsuki over the countryside to see their hospital bound mother. When the Catbus finally leaves them, its body fades into the evening shadows.

The Catbus was also featured in the short 20-minute film ''[[Mei and the Kittenbus]]'', which is shown only in the [[Ghibli Museum]]. In the film Mei, the younger sister, meets the child of the original Catbus, which is simply named Kittenbus. It is just large enough to fit Mei inside, and can only stir up [[dust devils]]. They fly into the forest with many other cat-based vehicles, including different types of catbuses and cattrains, which are carrying Totoro and many other forest spirits to a catliner, which is depicted as an ancient cat. Mei meets O-Totoro and befriends the catliner, before returning to her home in the kittenbus.
