What “Here Come the Cats” can mean
People type “here come the cats” and land on four different works. I split them here so a lyric search does not dump you into a Windows zip, and a book search does not dump you into Vault radio.
The four works that actually match
| Work | What it is | Where to go | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| HERE COME THE CATS | Free Windows boss fight by Paledoptera, v1.0.0; itch published 7 Nov 2026 UTC (8 Nov Singapore) | Game | 2 store pages |
| Here Come The Cats | Song by Waitress (Kennedy Rubio). Stores disagree on the day. | Song | Genius, Apple, Bandcamp |
| Basie’s Up | Jazz cue also called Making Waves and Here Come the Cats! | Fallout | 1 wiki account + uploads |
| Here Comes the Cat! | 1989 bilingual picture book, Frank Asch and Vladimir Vagin | Book | Wikipedia + Open Library |
Is it Deltarune?
Only the Paledoptera game sits in that conversation. The itch page and the Game Jolt page both present Dess in a short rhythm bullet-hell. Toby Fox’s name is not on the credits. The song, the Fallout cue, and the picture book do not take place in that world. If the question is “is here come the cats a deltarune,” the useful answer is: one of the four is a boss fight built around Dess, and the other three are not.
Store games that only share the words
Three other listings use a close title. I do not fold them into the boss fight.
- Google Play “Here Comes The Cat!” (package com.hero.DragonCat, developer slime.dev.game) showed 10+ downloads and an update dated 10 Jun 2026. That is one store listing.
- Steam app 5388140 is Neko ga Kita: Here Comes the Cat, published by Morikatron. The public store record showed S$9.99 and 28 Oct 2026. One listing.
- App Store id 1268300759, once titled Here Come The Cats!, returned a missing page on 9 Nov 2026. I do not describe it as a current download.
Band, not the musical
Waitress the band is Kennedy Rubio’s Los Angeles project. Sara Bareilles’ musical is a different Waitress. The song page and the band page keep that split. “Here comes the cat,” singular, is the book’s title, not a lyric variant I would send to Genius.

Questions
Is HERE COME THE CATS a Deltarune chapter?
No. Toby Fox did not publish it. Paledoptera published a free Windows boss fight that uses Dess and the song.
Is the singular “here comes the cat” the same work?
Usually not. That spelling pulls in the 1989 picture book and a few store games with similar titles.
Which result should I open?
A fight or a download: the game. A lyric stuck in your head: the song. Vault radio: Fallout. A children’s book: the 1989 title.
