Platoria

Platoria is the het ship between Plato and Victoria from the Cats fandom.

Canon
During the Jellicle ball Victoria heads to the center, which Plato notices. He abandons his own dancing partner, and makes his way over to her. She notices him and meets him halfway, only to step back when he makes his interest known. She then comes forward and the two rub their faces together. Plato the grooms her and they snuggle together with the other cats after.

Fanon
Platoria is a relatively popular ship in the Cats fandom. Mostly due to most productions giving them a canon status. It is often shipped alongside Tuggoffelees and Demestrap. Many fans consider it the only real canon ship in the show, as it has the most obvious sexual undertones between partners in the show. While Victoria's partner sometimes changes from production to production, most consider her and Plato to be the best one. As it was the one depicted in the 98 film, and thus became the one most productions would depict going forward.

Most fan works show their relationship after the events of the Jellicle Ball. How they officially become a couple and move in together. A decent amount also shows them having kittens after the ball. Some will depict their relationship before the ball. Often having them be enamored with each other, but only getting together at the ball. Many fans often believe that Victoria is more of a pampered house cat and Plato is a stray alley cat. For many making them a "Lady and the Tramp" style couple.

On AO3, Platoria is the most written ship for both Plato and Victoria. It is also the third most written ship in the Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber tag. There are currently 90+ written works.
