General Dsiclosure [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Account Policies	NOTE 1 - GENERAL : The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting records of The Cato Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), and all amounts shown as of and for the periods ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise noted. The results of the interim period may not be indicative of the results expected for the entire year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 . Amounts as of January 31, 2015 have been derived from the audited balance sheet, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company determined that it had improperly calculated a long-term deferred tax liability in prior periods due to the inclusion of certain insurance premium amounts related to its captive insurance company. The Company recorded a favorable out of period adjustment during the three month period ended May 2, 2015 which resulted in a decrease in its long-term deferred tax liability by $1.2 million, decreased its Income tax expense by $1.0 million and increased its Accrued income taxes by $0.2 million. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended August 1, 2015 reflect the above amounts. The correction is not deemed material to prior period or current period consolidated financial statements. The Company has changed the classification of certain items in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform the August 2, 2014 presentation with our fiscal 2014 Form 10-K to show approximately $0.9 million of cash outflows related to the purchase and sale of other assets previously reported in operating activities as investing activities. On August 27, 2015 , t he Board of Directors maintained the quarterly dividend at $0.30 per share.

Earnings Per Share Disclosure [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE: Accounting Standard Codification (“ ASC ”) 260 – Earnings Per Share requires dual presentation of basic and diluted Earnings Per Share (“ EPS ”) on the face of all income statements for all entities with complex capital structures. The Company has presented one basic EPS and one diluted EPS amount for all common shares in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income . While the Company's certificate of incorporation provides the right for the Board of Directors to declare dividends on Class A shares without declaration of commensurate dividends on Class B shares, the Company has historically paid the same dividends to both Class A and Class B shareholders and the Board of Directors has resolved to continue this practice. Accordingly, the Company's allocation of income for purposes of the EPS computation is the same for Class A and Class B shares and the EPS amounts reported herein are applicable to both Class A and Class B shares. Basic EPS is computed as net income less earnings allocated to non-vested equity awards divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Fair Value Disclosures Text Block	NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: The following table s set forth information regarding the Company's financial assets that are measured at fair value (in t housands) as of August 1, 2015 , January 31, 2015 and August 2, 2014 Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable August 1, 2015 Assets Inputs Inputs Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: State/Municipal Bonds $ 198,965 $ - $ 198,965 $ - Corporate Bonds 15,010 - 15,010 - U.S. Treasury Notes 3,004 3,004 - - Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance 6,447 - - 6,447 Privately Managed Funds 39 - - 39 Corporate Equities 678 678 - - Certificates of Deposit 100 100 - - Total Assets $ 224,243 $ 3,782 $ 213,975 $ 6,486 Liabilities: Deferred Compensation (6,143) - - (6,143) Total Liabilities $ (6,143) $ - $ - $ (6,143) The Company's investment portfolio was primarily invested in corporate bonds and tax-exempt and taxable governmental debt securities held in managed accounts with underlying ratings of A or better at August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015 and Aa3 or better at August 2, 2014 . The state, municipal and corporate bonds have contractual maturities which range from one month to 6.1 years. The U.S. Treasury Notes and Certificates of Deposit have contractual maturities which range from two months to 1.6 years. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded as Short-term investments, Restricted cash and investments and Other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported net of taxes in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, at August 1, 2015 , the Company had $0.7 mi llion of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $6.4 million. At January 31, 2015 , the Company had $0.3 million of privately managed funds, $0.6 million of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $4.6 million. At August 2, 2014 , the Company had $0.3 million of privately managed funds, a single auction rate security (“ ARS ”) of $3.1 million which was redeemed at par in the fourth quarter 2014, $0.6 million of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $3.8 million. All of these assets are recorded within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Level 1 category securities are measured at fair value using quoted active market prices. Level 2 investment securities include corporate and municipal bonds for which quoted prices may not be available on active exchanges for identical instruments. Their fair value is principally based on market values determined by manage ment with assistance of a third- party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and/or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, among other factors. The Company's privately managed funds consist of two types of funds. The privately managed funds cannot be redeemed at net asset value at a specific date without advance notice. As a result, the Company has classified the investments as Level 3. Deferred compensation plan assets consist of life insurance policies. These life insurance policies are valued based on the cash surrender value of the insurance contract, which is determined based on such factors as the fair value of the underlying assets and discounted cash flow and are therefore classified within L evel 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The L evel 3 liability associated with the life insurance policies represents a deferred compensation obligation, the value of which is tracked via underlying insurance funds. These funds are designed to mirror existing mutual funds and money market funds that are observable and actively traded. Cash surrender values are provided by third parties and reviewed for reasonableness by the Company. The following table s summarize the change in fair value of the Company's financial assets measured using Level 3 inputs as of August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 (in thousands) : Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Asset Inputs (Level 3) Available-For-Sale Cash Debt Securities Other Investments Surrender ARS Private Equity Value Total Beginning Balance at January 31, 2015 $ - $ 306 $ 4,558 $ 4,864 Redemptions - (246) - (246) Additions - 1,668 1,668 Total gains or (losses) Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) - - 221 221 Included in other comprehensive income - (21) - (21) Ending Balance at August 1, 2015 $ - $ 39 $ 6,447 $ 6,486 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Liability Inputs (Level 3) Deferred Compensation Total Beginning Balance at January 31, 2015 $ (4,272) $ (4,272) Additions (1,692) (1,692) Total (gains) or losses Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) (179) (179) Included in other comprehensive income - - Ending Balance at August 1, 2015 $ (6,143) $ (6,143) Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Asset Inputs (Level 3) Available-For-Sale Cash Debt Securities Other Investments Surrender ARS Private Equity Value Total Beginning Balance at February 1, 2014 $ 3,140 $ 392 $ 2,957 $ 6,489 Redemptions - (70) - (70) Additions 753 753 Total gains or (losses) Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) - 2 102 104 Included in other comprehensive income - - - Ending Balance at August 2, 2014 $ 3,140 $ 324 $ 3,812 $ 7,276 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Liability Inputs (Level 3) Deferred Compensation Total Beginning Balance at February 1, 2014 $ (3,298) $ (3,298) Additions (672) (672) Total (gains) or losses Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) (162) (162) Included in other comprehensive income - - Ending Balance at August 2, 2014 $ (4,132) $ (4,132) The Company's investment portfolio was primarily invested in corporate bonds and tax-exempt and taxable governmental debt securities held in managed accounts with underlying ratings of A or better at August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015 and Aa3 or better at August 2, 2014 .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update that will simplify the measurement of inventory for companies. The standard differentiates the valuation methods used to measure inventory based on the type of inventory method utilized by a company. Companies using the first-in, first-out method and the average cost method will measure inventory at the net realizable value method to measure inventory. Companies using the last-in, first-out method and the retail method will use the lower of cost or market to measure inventory. The standard is effective for the Company's first quarter of its 2017 fiscal year; early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is assessing what impacts this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance and modify the accounting treatment for certain costs associated with revenue generation. The core principle of the revised revenue recognition standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and provides several steps to apply to achieve that principle. In addition, the new guidance enhances disclosure requirements to include more information about specific revenue contracts entered into by the entity. The standard is effective for the Company's first quarter of its 2018 fiscal year; early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The Company is assessing what impacts this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
