Kate Worley (March 16, 1958-June 6, 2004) was an American comic book writer best known for her work on Omaha the Cat Dancer.
Omaha the Cat Dancer is the story of an anthropomorphic female cat who worked as a stripper. Though the series gained many fans for its sexually explicit depiction of "furries", it was also highly praised for its art, characterization, and storytelling with a confident feminist sensibility. Omaha was created by Reed Waller, Worley’s husband, and together she wrote and he drew the series. Even after their marriage violently disintegrated, they would later reunite creatively to collaborate on the book.
Worley married Jim Vance, another comic book writer known for his work on Kings in Disguise, and they had two children. Worley died of cancer.
