Cade

Jade: "Why don't you go make friends with the nice lady at the desk?"

Cat: "Kay, 'kay!"

- An exchange between Jade and Cat in Rex Dies.

Cade is a term for the pairing between Cat Valentine and Jade West (C/at and J/ade). Another term for this pairing is Jat (J/ade and C/at). While Cade is the official/most commonly used name, both are usually acknowledged by the community. Cat and Jade seem to be good friends: Jade tones her insults down towards Cat, and they express concern for the others well-being and stand up for each other when problems occur.

Friendship between the two is also often explored. A very frequent theme (and arguably the pairings main dynamic) is compromise and making exceptions. The two have been shown to be friends and have shown surprisingly little animosity towards one another (a few exceptions not- with- standing).They are the best of friends, although they are opposites.

See Eliana for the real-life pairing of Ariana and Elizabeth. It has nothing to do with Cade however, although fans are allowed to think so.

The Birthweek Song

 * At the end of Uptown, Downtown, Tori and Jade are chatting with Trina and Cat, and Jade is talking with Cat.

Freak the Freak Out

This shows Jade holds Cat in a higher esteem than others.
 * 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 lose2110.jpg the bet, forcing Beck to kiss the girl(s).
