Cade is the pairing of Cat Valentine and Jade West (C/at and J/ade). Another term for this pairing is Jat (J/ade and C/at), although the name is rarely used. It is unknown how they met; however, Cat and Jade are best friends - Jade tones her insults down towards Cat, and they show concern for the other's well-being and stand up for each other when problems occur, although in seasons two and three, Jade seems irritated by Cat quite often. These two are like sisters
There is also a Cade Wiki, which needs some help and is currently under construction.
Friendship between the two is also often explored. A frequent theme of the pairing's dynamic is compromise and exception-making with each other. The two have been shown to be friends and have shown surprisingly little animosity towards one another.
All that said, there have been many moments (Robarazzi, Beck Falls for Tori, Terror on Cupcake Street, Tori Tortures Teacher, etc) when Jade apparently gets irritated by Cat. In such cases, Jade has made Cat color items (tiger), play with Jade's keys, and has even stuffed cereal into her mouth. It seems that these occasions aren't taken to heart by Cat, which is unusual of her.
See Eliana for the real-life pairing of their actresses Ariana Grande and Liz Gillies. They are best friends in real life (since they were 15) and hang out onscreen and off-screen.
Cat is Jade's first pick for a partner when she does a drive-by acting exercise in Improv class, while Beck is her third pick (this is surprising because Beck was her boyfriend at the time and she was very over-protective of him).
It should also be noted that Cat begins to stand up when Sikowitz chooses Jade to lead their improv skit before Jade even selects her, suggesting that she already knew that she would be Jade's first choice.
When Cat shows everyone her "Super Juicer" from the Sky Store, Jade tells Cat that she's "so screwed up." However, Cat doesn't seem to mind and seems to brush off the insult as if it were nothing.
Jade looks concerned about Cat when she says "Underwear that floats!"
When Rex insults Jade, Cat doesn't look very amused.
When Jade squirts sun block on Rex, Cat is the only one that smiles, possibly because Rex is always mean to her.
When Trina asked for Cat's number, Jade says that she had already tried calling Cat, meaning she has Cat's number and that she was the first person to think of calling Cat.
Jade yelled Cat's name with the others.
Jade is the only one who has Cat's number.
Jade and Cat hug at the end of the episode.
After they get out of the Beck's RV, Cat comments on Jade's sweating and Jade commands her to "never speak of it!".
Jade seems happy when Cat appears and introduces her boyfriend to them.
Jade attempts to cause friction between Cat and Tori, possibly because she feels possessive of Cat's friendship.
Jade does seem happy for Cat finding a boyfriend and does nothing against them, showing their friendship. However, when Cat kisses Danny, Jade immediately kisses Beck, possibly implying some jealousy.
When Cat feels Beck's face, even putting her finger in his mouth, Jade makes no comment and does not appear to be jealous – had it been another girl, she probably would have.
As they sing Give It Up, when singing the line Come a little closer, come a little closer, baby, baby they come very close to one another.
When Cat notices Tara and Hayley around Beck, she tries to act nice around them, however she is uncomfortable.
Cat points out that Beck has a girlfriend to the girls, knowing that that would irritate the girls. Cat thus was helping and defending Jade.
Cat compliments Jade's bag, which Jade says "thanks" to. She then explains that it's made from monkey fur.
After Jade insults the two girls (she tells them to "Enjoy my monkey fur!"), Cat smiles at her.
Cat laughs and lightly shoves Jade's knee after she insults the girl's performance, which doesn't faze Jade.
Cat and Jade seem to enjoy performing with each other, as they're comfortable rubbing up to each other while they dance (with the same choreography), and look at each other happily.
When the owner of the club says that "two girls really stood out tonight," Jade and Cat look at each other, shyly smile, then turn away.
Both Cat and Jade were upset by losing to Hayley and Tara, and considered themselves better.
Jade doesn't make fun of Cat for not initially getting that the karaoke contest was rigged due to one of the competitor's being related to the owner, though she had several opportunities to do so.
Jade puts her hand on Cat's shoulder when Cat grabs her arm in disbelief.
When Tori asks about Hayley and Tara she says "Like, Jade-level mean?" Cat replies, "Not that mean, but really mean." which implies that even though she thinks Jade is mean, she likes her as a friend.
When Cat asks "Good, right?" after insulting the girls, (which is very Jade-like, and not in Cat's nature to do) Jade says "For you," which implies that had someone else said it, she would've made fun of them. This shows Jade holds Cat in a higher esteem than others.
Cat says that Hayley's dad letting them win "is so tight" and Jade politely corrects her, saying "tight means good," without getting frustrated or putting her down.
Interestingly enough, Cat quickly puts up Beck as a reward for the girls winning the bet. Although they are confident they will win, had they not picked Tori, there would be a slight chance that they would lose the bet, forcing Beck to kiss Haley and Tara. If Cat liked Jade, this would be a means of getting her to herself.
Cat seems to try insulting Hayley and Tara as much she can possibly trying to impress Jade that she can be mean sometimes.
After Cat jibes "morons" she deliberately leans back to touch her arm to Jade, as if looking for comfort or possibly back-up.
Even though Cat put Beck up as the prize, Jade still trusted Cat to choose their wager.
While Sinjin is talking to the Northridge girls, Cat and Jade are shown smiling and talking in the background at their own table.
During Tori's performance, Jade tells Cat to stop making a face, which Cat immediately complies to.

Once Tori wins the contest, Cat and Jade lift Tori's arms in victory.
Jade and Cat dance next to each other with some boys at the end of Tori's performance.
Cat is very touchy in this episode and always is rubbing up against Jade or just simply touching her. If it was anyone else (except Beck), Jade probably would've flipped out.
Cat was helping Jade get dressed and giggles excitedly when she and Tori go to fit Jade's boobs in the hamburger.
When Rex says something Jade doesn't like, Jade pulls his arm off. Yet when Cat comes up and tells them that she booked another gig for "The Diddly Bops," Jade does nothing and Rex calls her on it, saying "Why don't you rip her arm off?" which results in Jade glaring at him (for pointing out how differently she treats Cat).
Cat asks Beck why Jade is mad, showing that she cares about Jade.
Cat goes with the group to see why Jade is in the closet.
Cat asks Jade why she can't produce the play herself.
Cat is the first person to follow Jade out of the closet.
Cat is the person to suggest a plan to have Jade's play go exactly how she wanted it for her dad.
Cat performs the lead role in Jade's play. Jade probably chose Cat to play the role, trusting she would do it well.
The character Cat plays, written by Jade, says "Dad?" at the end of Well Wishes, possibly a reference to Jade's own relationship with her father, possibly counting on Cat to portray herself and appeal to her father.
Jade wonders if the dye in Cat's hair gives her brain damage (which shows that she is actually concerned about Cat).
Usually, Jade gets over-possessive, even when someone kisses Beck in a play or movie scene. Cat kissed Beck in a scene, so that must mean that Jade trusts Cat with Beck.
In the film Tori directed, Jade slaps Cat in a scene, even though that was not in the script.
Jade tells Cat to lie down to do their scene and then smiles.
Cat seems shocked when Jade hits her, so this may imply that Jade has never physically harmed her before.

Cat asks if Jade got the lead role in Steamboat Suzy. When she finds out that Jade didn't get it, she still wants to know what part she got.
Cat stands with Jade backstage and seems to be in denial about her malicious intentions, maybe because she cares too much about Jade to admit how mean she is to Tori.
Cat looked worried when Jade said there was a lizard on her chest.
Cat comments on how Jade's outfit is dirty, and Jade sarcastically responds with "Oh no, now I'll never win the prison beauty pageant!"
When Cat says that she joined a prisoner gang, Jade says "And you said yes?", probably because she thought it was a bad idea and wanted Cat to stay with her.
Jade saw Cat dancing with other prisoners and asked Tori, Trina, and Robbie what Cat was doing.

Cat and Jade were signing in people for the auditions.
Jade had her leg on Cat's in the classroom.
Cat asks what Jade texted Beck. Jade then shows Cat her phone and Cat gasps. However, she doesn't make any comments on the message.
When Cat asked Jade to show her the text, she did without hesitating, even though she (and Beck) yelled at Tori and André when they tried talking to them about it.
When Cat starts asking Jade a question, Jade says "Open up," to which Cat opens her mouth and Jade proceeds to hand-feed cereal into Cat's mouth. Cat doesn't complain about this.

When Cat starts to speak again, Jade feeds her more cereal.
Jade came to the auditions with cereal in her bag, showing that she comes prepared to take care of Cat.
On the whiteboard behind Sikowitz it says "Cat & Jade's Christmas Carol Classic This Saturday at The Henry Smith Theater", which means Cat and Jade were doing a show together. You can see it clearly here.

Cat gave Jade a pair of scissors that was from one of Jade's favorite movies.
Jade tells people to shut up because she's about to open the present Cat got her, showing that she was confident that Cat got her something great.
Jade seemed really happy when she received the scissors from the movie. She said "Oh my god, Cat! You did not!" in a really surprised, happy voice.
Cat squeals with excitement when Jade opens her present.
Cat could have gotten Jade something girly and childish, but she chose to get Jade something that she knew she would like, even though it's the opposite of her own (Cat's) personality.
Jade says that in the movie The Scissoring, the main character uses the scissors on her two best friends. While saying this, she looks at Cat (and Tori), implying that she and Cat are best friends.
When Jade visits Tori's house, it is revealed that she brought her old scissors, not the scissors Cat gave her. This could imply that Jade treasures Cat's gift and did not want to risk getting them damaged or ruined.
Jade and Cat are both Tori's backup singers, and they stay next to each other for much of the song, along with sharing parts and dancing.
Jade is usually possessive of Beck, but when Beck was feeding Cat a small piece of taco, Jade was just smiling at them and didn't show any sign of possessiveness, implying that she doesn't mind when Cat is with Beck.
At points of the episode, Jade harasses Cat over being a vegan - this is a take on The Breakfast Club where Bender harasses Claire for being a virgin. Coincidentally, Bender and Claire end up together in the end of the film.
Cat happily announces "Jade's here!" when Jade showed up at Tori's house.
Cat reassures Jade that Beck and Tori weren't doing anything (saying "It's true!" about their explanation) and Jade seems to take her word for it, showing she trusts her.
Jade goes on the trip with Cat and Tori, even though she normally would refuse to be anywhere Tori is. This could be because she was jealous that Tori was hanging out with Cat instead or because she wanted to hang out with Cat.

When the creepy clown comes, Cat and Jade stand very close together and lean against each other, as if protecting each other.

When the clown appears, Jade seems to protect Cat.
When Cat is unable to finish her last words to Mona, Jade tells Tori to finish for her.
Cat and Jade sit next to each other in the party bus.
When Jade rapped "All the haters think it's just not fair" and "And you know I'm living large!", she was looking at Cat.
Cat told Jade (along with the rest of the gang) about the party bus even though Tori said not to tell anyone. Perhaps she wanted Jade to come despite what Tori said.
After the opening credits, Cat and Jade are shown to be sitting next to each other.
They sit together on the steps at lunch.
Jade tells Cat she'll tell her the story (about Trina) later.
Cat offers Jade (as well as André and Beck) candy numerous times from her bra, and Jade accepts it.
Jade cuts the licorice from Cat's bra for her.
Cat gave Jade the longest piece of licorice. (Or Jade, knowing the next piece was hers, cut it the longest while smirking.)
Cat also knew Jade had her scissors.
When Cat said that some girls were a little "kooky in the head" and "nutty in the ol' noggin", Jade replied, "Some girls are." She implied it instead of saying it to her face, maybe knowing that Cat would've gotten offended if she called her out on it.
When Cat is giving gumdrops to André, Beck, and Jade, she gives the very first one to Jade.
When Jade sits down, Cat moves slightly closer to her and then back towards André.
Jade gently asks Cat to give André some Bibble.

Cat was being chased by Jade throughout the entire episode.
Cat appreciated that Jade was eating lunch with them and wanted all of them to each lunch together.
Jade finally got even with Cat by shaving her bald while she was sleeping in study hall, instead of hurting her physically or ruining her reputation.
When Jade was attacking her in the classroom, Cat did not try to hurt her back; she only tried to get away.
Cat kept Jade's waxed eyebrows, maybe because she felt bad and wanted to try to reattach them somehow.
Cat said Jade asked her to make her eyebrows look nice, showing that Jade, who is insecure however she doesn't like showing weakness, went to Cat for help because she felt insecure about her eyebrows. This also shows how much she trusts Cat and probably explains why she was so mad when Cat messed it up.
This episode shows that Jade and Cat are close to each other.
Cat and Jade are both a part of The Blonde Squad (along with Tori).
When Tori asked Cat and Jade if they wanted to go to Nozu, Cat said yes and Jade said that she didn't want to but gestured to Cat and said "But I will."

Jade may have not been very encouraging about Evan liking Cat even though she's not blonde during the lunch scene because she was jealous that Cat was going out with a guy and she wasn't.

Jade posts that mustard disgusts her and that she hates the color pink. Cat comments that she's currently eating mustard and wearing the color pink, and she fears that Jade must hate her for this. As a response, Jade tells her that she has no idea of the hatred she has for most people (she never includes Cat in this, though). And Cat seems to know she's not included because she is relieved and mentions that she's not most people, she's Cat. (See the quote below.)
Jade: Mustard is disgusting! Also if you wear pink, I really don't like you!

In a different video (Drive-by Acting Exercises: Beck and Jade) Jade is also wondering if her and Beck's video is recording because she doesn't see the light.
Cat puts up a status saying "Is happy." Jade comments on it asking why, and Cat comments back saying, "Why what?" Jade then asks, "Why are you happy?" Cat says, "I'm not. I'm actually really sad today." Jade replies, "Then why does your status say is happy!?????" Cat says, "Oh, that was a typo."

Cat made Jade a lemon and Beck a strawberry in her Fruit Gallery commenting that strawberry lemonade is her favorite and she wants Bade back together.
In Cat tries to tell Jade a joke, Cat lets Jade sleep over at her house again. Even though Cat annoyed Jade with waking her up while she was sleeping and telling her a senseless joke, Jade stayed pretty long and allowed Cat to try the joke over and over again.
