Cats & Dogs is the second solo studio album by American rapper and record producer Evidence. It was released on September 27, 2011 through Rhymesayers Entertainment. Recording sessions took place at ALC Laboratories in Santa Monica, Soundproof West in Venice, The Drug Lab and Soundproof East in Los Angeles, Infamous Studios in Queens, Stophouse Studios in Minneapolis and All This Could Be Yours in San Francisco. Production was handled by the Alchemist, Sid Roams, DJ Premier, Rahki, Charli Brown, Twiz the Beat Pro, and Evidence himself. It features guest appearances from Aesop Rock, Aloe Blacc, Catero, Krondon, Lil' Fame, Prodigy, Raekwon, Rakaa Iriscience, Ras Kass, Roc Marciano, Slug, Step Brothers and Termanology, with cameos from Amber Strother, Danny Keyz, Noelle Scaggs and Wendy Guerra.

The album debuted at number 64 on the Billboard 200 with 7,700 copies sold in its first week in the United States.

The album was preceded by two singles: "To Be Continued..." and "You". The first single from the album, "To Be Continued...", was not initially intended to be included on the album, but due to a positive response after its leak by DJ Premier on Sirius' HipHopNation, the song was included. Music video for "You" was directed by Todd Angkasuwan.

The album won the 2011 HHUG Album of the Year award.
