Appearance[]
Katie has very short black hair that is always neatly styled and clipped away from her face.

At night, she wears a white short-sleeve shirt, pink striped pajama pants, and blue slippers with white polka dots.
Personality[]
Katie is very understanding, open-minded, very sweet, kind, and loving; she doesn't mind a little mess of her apartment. She always tries to make sure her dogs are content.
She is adopting both Max and Duke, at different times, purely because she couldn't stand to see them in the pound. Likewise, she is always expecting the things she does to have the best possible outcome. The way she introduced Duke to Max could have turned out much, much worse than it did.
Plot[]
The Secret Life of Pets[]
Katie first adopted Max, by the time he was just a puppy, after she found him abandoned in a cardboard box, and then they move into her apartment in the apartment building. After that, they both spent many moments together for years; like going to the park, spending time in the rain, helping clean the dishes, and admiring the skyline of New York while eating pizza.
Katie needs to go to work almost every day, but Max can't understand where she is going, which beings him lots of disturbance. Though many nearby pets visit her apartment pretty often, she doesn't seem to notice or feel annoying about it. One day, Katie brings home a stray dog Duke, and she is excited that Max already has a brother, but he isn't. Despite Max's complaints, she doesn't seem to understand his disturbance - because what she hears from Max is barking instead of talking.
The next day, Katie leaves again for work, now leaving both Max and Duke alone; after coming back home (without having noticing that her dogs embraced an adventure), she is glad to see her pets getting along well; even though many things in her apartment are in a mess, she doesn't feel angry. In the end, she and her two dogs watch the skyline of New York outside the apartment.
