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 July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015 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 perio d 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 30, 2016 . Amounts as of January 30, 2016 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 q uarter of 2016, the Company determined that there was an error in the classification of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions as current liabilities in Accrued income taxes that resulted in a revision to the prior year end balance sheet as of January 30, 2016. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 30, 2016 has been revised to correct the presentation of the amounts, which resulted in a decrease to Accrued income taxes and a corresponding increase to Other noncurrent liabilit ies of $13.6 million, which primarily consists of deferred rent and deferred compensation liabilities. There was no impact to the statement of income and comprehensive income and no impact to total net cash provided by operating activities or used in inves ting and financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The Company concluded that the revision was immaterial to prior period financial statements. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company changed its estimate for recognizing gift card breakag e income. The Company changed the dormancy period to 24 months of inactivity from 60 months of inactivity to more closely align with recent Company experience, industry practice and tax treatment. As a result, the Company recognized $2.4 million of additio nal breakage income (recorded in Interest and other income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income) for gift cards that were dormant from January 30, 2011 through February 1, 2014. In August 2016 , the Company repurchased 294,500 shares for $10,156,531 . On August 25, 2016 , t he Board of Directors maintained the quarterly dividend at $0.33 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 Comprehens ive 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 d ividends 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. Dilute d EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded as Short-term investments, Restricted cash and investments and Other assets on the accom panying 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 July 30, 2016 , the Company had $0.6 milli on of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $7.8 million. At January 30, 2016 , the Company had $0.6 million of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $6.4 mi llion. 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 munic ipal 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 management with assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices i n 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 o ther factors. 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 un derlying assets and discounted cash flow and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Level 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 tables summarize the change in fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs as of July 30, 2016 and January 30, 2016 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Asset Inputs (Level 3) Cash Other Investments Surrender Private Equity Value Total Beginning Balance at January 30, 2016 $ - $ 6,409 $ 6,409 Redemptions - - - Additions - 1,028 1,028 Total gains or (losses) Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) - 399 399 Included in other comprehensive income - - - Ending Balance at July 30, 2016 $ - $ 7,836 $ 7,836 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Liability Inputs (Level 3) Deferred Compensation Total Beginning Balance at January 30, 2016 $ (6,187) $ (6,187) Additions (1,018) (1,018) Total (gains) or losses Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) (518) (518) Included in other comprehensive income - - Ending Balance at July 30, 2016 $ (7,723) $ (7,723)	Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable January 30, 2016 Assets Inputs Inputs Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: State/Municipal Bonds $ 193,500 $ - $ 193,500 $ - Corporate Bonds 10,941 - 10,941 - U.S. Treasury Notes 1,203 1,203 - - Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance 6,409 - - 6,409 Asset-backed Securities (ABS) 11,054 - 11,054 - Corporate Equities 578 578 - - Certificates of Deposit 100 100 - - Total Assets $ 223,785 $ 1,881 $ 215,495 $ 6,409 Liabilities: Deferred Compensation (6,187) - - (6,187) Total Liabilities $ (6,187) $ - $ - $ (6,187) Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Asset Inputs (Level 3) Cash Other Investments Surrender Private Equity Value Total Beginning Balance at January 31, 2015 $ 306 $ 4,558 $ 4,865 Redemptions (270) - (270) Additions - 2,071 2,071 Total gains or (losses) Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) 92 (220) (128) Included in other comprehensive income (128) - (128) Ending Balance at January 30, 2016 $ - $ 6,409 $ 6,409 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Liability Inputs (Level 3) Deferred Compensation Total Beginning Balance at January 31, 2015 $ (4,272) $ (4,272) Additions (2,092) (2,092) Total (gains) or losses Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) - - Included in other comprehensive income 177 177 Ending Balance at January 30, 2016 $ (6,187) $ (6,187)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Policies In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09. This new accounting guidance requires entities to record the differences between income tax stock expense and book tax expense as a component of income tax expense in the income statement. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. In the second quarter of 2016, we early adopted this new guidance. The impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended July 30, 2016 was $594,000. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17. This ne w accounting guidance requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, as noncurrent in a balance sheet. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after Dece mber 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We have early adopted this new guidance prospectively beginning with the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 30, 2016, which is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Prior periods we re not retrospectively adjusted. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an effective date for a new leasing standard that will require substantially all leases to be recorded on the balance shee t. The standard is effective for the Company’s first quarter of its 2019 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 Consoli dated Financial Statements. 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 inve ntory 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 reportin g 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 rec ognition 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 servic es 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 disclosu re 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.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 11.6% compared to 37.5% for the second quarter of 2015 . The decrease in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 is primarily due to a $9.6 million benefit related to continuing foreign and domestic tax initiatives, which also includes the impact of Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH Ac t) and the early adoption of Share Based Accounting Improvements (ASU 2016-09) during the second quarter of 2016 . The decrease in the effective tax rate is also due to the change in relative proportions of net earnings attributable to various discrete items to total pre-tax earnings between the periods due to lower pre-tax earnings in the current period .
