People with this Japanese spelling include actress Cathy Moriarty (キャシー・モリアーティ), Australian short-distance runner Cathy Freeman (キャシー・フリーマン), and journalist Cathy Newman (キャシー・ニューマン).

Modern katakana was extended to write foreign words and names more faithfully. Cathy pronounced kæ-thI in katakana is キャシー read kyashī. On the other hand, hiragana adheres to traditional Japanese spellings. Cathy in hiragana is きゃしい read kyashii.
