Front woman Chloe Chaidez formed the band after meeting producer Chad Anderson, with whom she developed a professional relationship.

[26] Ratzky left Kitten in 2009; prior to the release of their debut extended play, which the band had begun working on that year.

[36] The band ultimately decided to release five of their new songs as an extended play; planning to combine EP tracks and other new material into an album later on.

[10] Later in 2012, Kitten recruited three new members—drummer Lukas Frank, keyboardist Bryan DeLeon, and guitarist Waylon Rector—and Andy Miller and Chris Vogel left the band.

[51] Later in 2013, following the release of Like a Stranger, band members Waylon Rector, Lukas Frank, Zach Bilson, and Bryan DeLeon chose to leave Kitten.

[56] That same month, Rector, Bilson, and DeLeon left the band again, leaving Chaidez as the sole remaining member of Kitten.

[13] In January 2016, the band released a new single, "Fall on Me", and announced an upcoming EP titled Heaven or Somewhere in Between.

[67] It largely focuses on spiritual themes; according to Chaidez, "a lot of the lyrics have to do with the relationship between you and whatever your God is and how that plays out into your life".

Guitarist Parker Silzer IV and keyboardist Max Tsiring joined the band in January 2017,[76][11] after being introduced to Chaidez by Stagno.

[77] The following September, Kitten reconnected with musician Blu DeTiger—who had opened for the band in 2015[78]—on the set of the music video for "Phases" by Alma and French Montana.

The covers, which were shared via PAPER Magazine, included "Your Song" by Elton John,[88] "It's My Party" by Lesley Gore,[89] and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" by Culture Club.

[94] The EP's title track was released as the second single on September 20, 2019; Chaidez described its sound as "Avril Lavigne meets PC Music".

[96] Kitten made an appearance on the first season of the Netflix original series I'm with the Band: Nasty Cherry,[97] which was released in November 2019.

[98] The docuseries is about the formation of the girl band Nasty Cherry, for which Kitten's Chloe Chaidez plays guitar.

[101] It is the lead single from their upcoming second studio album, which is scheduled for release in 2021 through Sony Music subsidiary The Orchard.

[106][107] A further four singles have since been released to promote the band's second album: "What Year Are We In" in November 2020,[108] "Daddy Don't Take My Phone" in December 2020,[109] "Do U Still Love Me?"

[23] Chaidez, who has a background in gymnastics, incorporates acrobatics into the band's performances; for example, climbing up and jumping off of high surfaces.

[37][114] Throughout her career with Kitten, Chaidez has named acts including Ian Curtis, Karen O, Cat Power, Prince, David Bowie, My Bloody Valentine, The Stone Roses, Conor Oberst, Pulp, Suede, Annie Lennox, and Bryan Ferry as influences.

[115][116][13][76] The band cited The Go-Go's, The Motels, and Siouxsie and the Banshees as inspirations for their 2018 extended play Pink Champagne.
