"Not everything can be a kitty."
"I say everything can be a kitty. What're you gonna say about it?" - Ben and Fraser
The Kitty running gag refers to Fraser's tendency to refer to any animal at all as a kitty, even if it isn't even remotely cat-like. This first occurred during the Skyward Sword live show with the Remlits and persisted into many a show after. Not to be confused with Kitty Glitter.
