Cabbie

Cabbie is the het ship between Cat Valentine and Robbie Shapiro from the Victorious fandom.

Season 1
Cat and Robbie have been friends for an unknown period of time as they both attended Hollywood Arts. From the first episode they are often seen together and seem to enjoy each other's company a lot.

Cat is disgusted that Rex (Robbie's ventriloquist puppet) is hitting on all the girls in the school.

Rex claims he has never hit Cat. Robbie judges Rex, as a separate person, from him so one possible reason Rex never woos Cat is because Robbie doesn't like it when other guys woo Cat. Robbie may want to respect Cat. perhaps he's too shy to woo Cat, even through Rex.

Cat seems offended by Rex's lack of interest in her. and she might be angry that Robbie isn't flirting with her and seems worried that Robbie might not be attracted to her.

When André and Robbie get hurt, the redhead looks worried about both of them. During an audition Robbie and Trina have to kiss, and the boy gets a crush on the half-latina much to the latter's chagrin. Cat is the only one who notices, seeming a little frustrated that Robbie is so focused on trying to get Trina to go out with him, perhaps a sign of jealousy. Robbie for his part has no problem talking about it with Cat, who tries to convince him that kiss meant nothing and when Robbie says that kind of passion, it couldn't be bogus Cat interrupts him by kissing him. She may have taken the opportunity to kiss him because she likes her, and she may also be jealous that Robbie liked Trina and she tried to win him over. After the kiss, Robbie asks Cat to meet her parents, and one thing he didn't do with Trina, a sign that he liked Cat's kiss better. The girl seems agitated but unlike Trina she does nothing to avoid the boy, on the contrary she remains seated next to him.

Robbie's grandmother has computer problems and torments him for help. When he asks someone to accompany him at her home Cat is the only one to volunteer. Robbie agrees, but he warns her that his grandmother knows to be very critical. Cat thinks she can handle criticism well, but Robbie knows she doesn't and when he tells her she takes offense, so he apologizes and she forgives him instantly. Unfortunately, Robbie's grandmother doesn't like Cat at all, and when he tells her that the redhead isn't his girlfriend, her grandmother comments that he can have better. When his grandma connects with Robbie in the middle of a class, Cat is the only one who doesn't laugh at him. Later Robbie proposes to go to mini-golf and she accepts, but first they have to stop for half an hour at her grandmother's house. Cat is not happy, and as soon as the lady sees her she asks her nephew why she brought her with him. The girl starts to leave, but Robbie leaves her. His grandmother introduces him to a girl named Brenda, saying she doesn't want him to end up with someone like Cat. Eventually, while his grandmother and her friend argue, Robbie makes up an excuse to leave with Cat.

Robbie starts running a tabloid blog about their school's students initially ignores Cat, who doesn't come to him complaining about his blog (though it could be because he's developing an addiction to online shopping). Later Robbie decides to talk about his problem too, perhaps to help her but apart from one occasion, Cat is the only one not to blame him and not try to make him stop with his show "Robarazzi". The heat explodes and the gang decides to take a trip to the sea. However, once they arrive Cat comes out of Beck's roulette to go to the bathroom. Shortly after some people parked their camper in front of the roulette wheel, preventing the boys from going out, who get stuck in the heat. Her friends are counting on Cat to come back and free them but the redhead makes friends with a group of boys and spends the day having fun with them, forgetting about her friends (in her defense, it must be said that she could not know what happened to them), Robbie seems worried about Cat's delay (flirting with a guy in the meantime). When Cat finally comes back and free the group, Robbie is very happy and embraces her like everyone else.

When Cat, Tori, and Beck have to video chat for a school project, Robbie intrudes on their chat. Cat was about to tell Robbie the same joke she had told the others, but he reminded her he told her yesterday, which shows that the two interact quite a lot. Cat doesn't seem to care that Robbie is constantly trying to interrupt their video chat, and she seems distraught when Tori removes Robbie from the chat.

When Robbie arrives at school one morning, Cat is the first to notice his unkempt appearance and when he asks what is going on, the boy replies that he has been having several nightmares lately. Cat wants to know which ones and when he blurts out that it's not his business, the girl seems to be offended and the two begin a brief discussion at the end of which Cat seems quite saddened. When Robbie falls asleep during class the next day, Cat wakes him up at the end of it, and when he finds out that he continues to have nightmares, she suggests he talk to school counselor Lane, advice that Robbie decides to follow.

It is later revealed that Cat and Robbie along with their other friends pretend to be part of a ping pong team to use the money the school gives the team to go to expensive restaurants. Cat starts dating Daniel (an ex-boyfriend of their friend Tori) and when she introduces him to all their friends, Robbie is gone. She may not want to meet him, as she wishes Cat to go out with him and that she knowingly chose a time when the ventriloquist wasn't there. Surprisingly, Tori finds herself jealous when she sees her ex dating her friend and it is Robbie who tells her where the two are, and when the half-Latina arrives there it ruins their romantic night. It is unclear if Robbie planned this and there is no evidence that he did, but it should be noted that before Robbie spoke to Tori, he looked at the cheese fountain where Cat and Daniel were and perhaps he saw them making out by the fountain, and after talking to Tori he walks away sighing, head down.

Robbie still seems to disapprove of the brunette's behavior and seems angry at her for kissing Daniel but if he was the one who caused this, he may feel guilty. Robbie doesn't seem to like Daniel and throughout the episode he seemed annoyed with him, which could indicate jealousy.

Cat, Robbie, Andre, Beck and Jade go to a venue called Karaoke Dokie and Cat and Jade enter the singing contest. Their performance is spectacular, but the owner of the venue and competition judge wins daughter Hayley and her friend Tara. Disgusted by his nepotism, Robbie protests through Rex.

Robbie gets a lead role in the one-act staged by Professor Sikowitz, while Cat doesn't get a part and works with the lights. During lunch she Cat asks Robbie about his date without sounding jealous, but maybe that's because she already knows that the girl Robbie dated, she doesn't seem to appreciate her going out.

During the dress rehearsal, Tori aspires with a giant Rex machine that is almost completely destroyed. Robbie is quite agitated and Cat tries to calm him down as much as she can, looking seriously sorry. The redhead is even part of the group that offers to take Rex to the hospital. Cat truly believes they will take the puppet to the hospital and reminds the group how much Robbie cares about Rex.

Cat also seems to strongly disagree with Jade, when she proposes to get rid of Rex and is the only one of the group. This is a relevant fact as Cat is almost always in agreement with everyone and Jade is one of her closest friends. As Cat sings Rex tells her to stop and the girl is very offended. Mr. Sikowitz one of the boys' teachers proposes that they sing at the birthday party of his four-year-old friend's son and since they will be paid the group accepts.

Robbie writes a song for the party but even if the lyrics are good at first, then it's not good. At the end a song by Andre is chosen and the group achieves great success, but not wanting to continue singing for the kids, when Cat gets another gig, they refuse to help her and Robbie openly tells her he doesn't like singing children's songs. So Cat is forced to get help from other people.

When during a conversation the group wonders how to solve Jade's problem, and Cat has a clever idea, Robbie looks as amazed as the others.

When Robbie arrives late for class one morning, Cat is the only one asking him why, a sign that she cares about him. Even in episodes where they don't have common plots, Cat and Robbie are almost always seen together in scenes where the whole group is in.

Fanon
Cabbie is one of Victorious' most supported and popular ships. Ariana Grande the actress who plays Cat had confirmed on Twitter that Cat and Robbie would become a couple in a future episode, but that never happened before the series was canceled, and since the Sam & Cat spin-off was also canceled, the relationship will begin in a hypothetical future.

This ship has many loyal and supportive fans and is one of the most popular couples on the show, as she is often loved regardless of fan preferences in the Tori / Beck / Jade triangle, in which also André is sometimes included.

There are many videos and fanfictions dedicated to this ship.
