Maskerade, a Discworld novel by Terry Prachett is a spoof of

Mutts is a comic strip in the U.S. It features a cat named
Mooch and a dog named Earl. In one strip, the head title shows the
Cats logo, only Mooch is dancing in one eye, and Earl is
dancing in the other (like in the Cats logo), and Mutts is
written like the logo. Through the comic strip, Mooch sings, and the
last thing he sings are lines from "Memory", before Earl throws a
boot at him.

The Sunday newspaper comic "Grand Avenue" by Steve Breen had a
Cats refrence. The date of this particular one was September
12, 1999. It shows the kid in his room, which has all sorts of
theater posters all around it, one of which is a Cats poster.
The other one you can see on that date was a Les Miserables poster
(the kid's hair also poofs out similar to a Cats wig, but I
don't think that counts). Thanks, Fleetpaw!

The boy was standing on a cardboard box on his front lawn, with a
sign propped up that read, "Cats: 25 cents." He had put a bunch of
stuffed cats on the box, and he was wearing a cat costume and had his
face painted up, and coming out of his mouth was a broken musical
note, no lyrics (thanks, Jemima Mistoffelees!).
