Trivia[]

  • Cat mentioned Nona in a scene of the Victorious episode, "Star-Spangled Tori."

    Nona with her granddaughter.

  • She lives in Venice, California.
    • Before Sam & Cat, Cat’s parents were no longer able to care and provide for her since they had to take her brother to an out-state mental health institute for indefinite period of time and was living with her aunt and uncle, until she later ran away and ended up living in a closet in the Blackbox Theater of Hollywood Arts due to the domestic abuse she dealt with. After Jade and Robbie found her living in the school in the “Star-Spangled Tori” episode, they were very concerned about her living in the closet, which was rodent-infested, and asked if she had any other relative she can live with, including Nona, which Robbie had mentioned. Cat said she would love to live with her, but she couldn’t since she assumed that she lived in Venice, Italy based on the city's name. After talking to Cat’s mother on the phone, Jade told Cat that Nona actually lives in the area and not in Italy and said that she can move in with Nona since she agreed to be her legal guardian and mentioned that she would love Cat to live with her. So, afterwards, Cat moved into her apartment and is no longer living in the school.
  • Nona is Italian for "grandma" and she is named that because that's what Ariana Grande, actress who plays Cat, calls her own grandmother in real life.[3] However, the correct spelling in Italian would be "Nonna".
  • Nona used to babysit for the kids in her building before she moved to Elderly Acres.
  • She likes to tell endless stories of her past, often annoying Cat and her friends.
  • As seen in #Pilot, she often sleepwalks and does things inadvertently at night.
  • She lived in what is now an apartment belonging to Sam and Cat for a very short amount of time.
  • She is the only original character of the show that was mentioned in another show.
  • Nona's real name was not mentioned on the show.
  • It is revealed in the #Pilot by Cat that whenever Nona laughs, she pees a little.
  • In #FavoriteShow it was implied she's a great cook.
  • She wrote a song about a big thermometer she saw as revealed in #ToddlerClimbing.
  • She was shown to dislike Bots at first in #ToddlerClimbing, but she doesn't seem to dislike it anymore.
  • It is most likely that she is currently not married because a husband of Nona has not been mentioned or seen.
  • She loves the fictional TV show Toilet Wars.
  • She has a low tolerance for spices.
  • Nona can speak Japanese.
  • Cat has a tendency to expose embarrassing secrets about her, often having to do with her (Nona's) bodily functions, like she pees when she laughs and her butt was sore from the hard stools.
  • Nona dated a man named Nipsey Russel.
  • Nona lived in Buffalo, New York right after she graduated from college, while she was dating a professional basketball player, called Bob McAdoo.
  • She is the only non-main character to be listed with the main characters on the official website.
  • She is Cat's first and only family member to be seen in the show.
  • She wears a wig, as shown in #DroneBabyDrone.
  • In #BlooperEpisode, Maree is credited as Nona, even though she played herself.
