[[folder:Skidoo]]
!!Skidoo

[[quoteright:100:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skidoo_8.jpg]]

-->'''Debut''': ''Feline Follies'' (1919)

!!!!!!Voiced By: Kevin Schon, Creator/SusanSilo (Twisted Tales)

A recurring mouse character (often seen alongside other mice) that Felix is friends with.

!!Tropes:

* AdaptedOut: He doesn't appear at all in the Joe Oriolo cartoons, although the official website does have a character profile for him in that series style.
* DependingOnTheArtist: His appearance in inconsistent due to him being a minor character in the series. Sometimes he has black fur, while other times he's depicted as having gray fur.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Sometimes, he's just a generic mouse in the silent cartoons, while on other occasions he's a mutual friend of Felix.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: He wasn't named in the original cartoons, but was given a name in Twisted Tales of Felix.
* OddFriendship: With Felix the Cat.
* PunnyName: His name is a play on "23-Skidoo!", an antiquated phrase for "Leave somewhere quickly", or in layman's terms, "Get lost!", which is what many people would do to a mouse like him.
* VillainOfTheWeek: [[TemporarilyAVillain He briefly becomes this]] in the Twisted Tales episode "The Petrified Cheese", where he instigates the conflict of the cartoon by stealing the cheese. That said, he's more of a pest than a menace, and he's in the same boat as Felix and Shamus H. Goldcrow in the end when they're attacked by mummies who want the cheese back.

[[folder:Kitty Kat]]
!!Kitty Kat

[[quoteright:206:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kitty_felixgirlfriend_2_3.jpg]]

-> '''Debut''': ''Feline Follies'' (1919)

!!!!!!Voiced by: Ai Maeda (Baby Felix, infant, Japanese voice)

Felix's ladyfriend introduced in the first short, sometimes known as Miss Kitty White or Kitty Kat. She only occasionally appeared in the cartoons, and her most prominent appearances were in the comics and ''Baby Felix''.

!!Tropes associated with Kitty:
* AdaptedOut: She does not appear at all in the original Joe Oriolo TV cartoons, but she did appear in the comics drawn by Joe Oriolo from the same time period, and she was [[TheBusCameBack brought back]] in the NES tie-in game and ''Baby Felix & Friends'' cartoons that are in the same continuity as the Oriolo Felix. She is also absent from ''Twisted Tales'', being replaced by Candy as Felix's focus of affection.
* ADogNamedDog: She's a cat who is named Kitty.
* DamselInDistress: In the UsefulNotes/{{NES}} Felix the Cat game, Professor kidnaps her and Felix has to rescue her.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Sometimes [[http://www.felixthecat.com/IMG/ff-kitty.gif she looks nothing like Felix]], sometimes [[http://felixthecat.wikia.com/wiki/File:Kitty.png she looks as cartoony as Felix]], and sometimes she falls somewhere in between like in the picture above.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Depictions of her in the 1950's/1960's comics gave her a dress and skirt.
* HartmanHips
* MsFanservice: In some of the later merchandise she appears in.
* OfficialCouple: With Felix, although the state of their relationship depends on the cartoon. In her debut, she was successfully wooed by Felix and had a litter of kittens. Other depictions include a hotheaded girlfriend, naggy wife, or even TheOneThatGotAway.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: She is rarely seen acting on her own, almost always accompanying Felix.
* ShesGotLegs: As evident in the picture above.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Modern adaptations occasionally give her a pink bow.

!!Inky and Dinky/Winky

[[quoteright:263:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/previewscreensnapz012_7.jpg]]

-> '''Debut''': ''Felix the Cat Weathers The Weather'' (1926)

Felix's two inquisitive and ingenious nephews. They are obedient and treat their uncle with respect, although he is occasionally the brunt of their practical jokes. Their curiosity and impish charm endears them to almost everyone, and their simultaneous conclusions suggest the psychic link that many twins are supposed to have.

While they debuted in the silent cartoons as supporting characters, their appearances in them were infrequent, and later Felix cartoons abandoned using them altogether. The bulk of their appearances can be found in the Felix the Cat comic books. A third, unnamed nephew/son occasionally appeared in the silent cartoons too, such as in "Flim Flam Films".

!!Tropes Associated With Inky and Winky/Dinky
* AdaptationalNameChange: When Joe Oriolo took over work on the Felix the Cat and later assumed ownership of Felix, he renamed Dinky to Winky. According to Don Oriolo, Joe just liked the name Winky better, and the name "dinky" had a connotation of being insignificant at the time, which didn't sound positive to Joe Oriolo.
* AdaptedOut: They make no appearances at all in the cartoons beyond the b&w shorts, although they found a new home in the comic books and still pop up in merchandising. Their official character profile also depicts them in the style of the Oriolo era, suggesting that they do exist in that series, but simply don't appear in person.
* ArtEvolution: Their designs frequently changed throughout the series to match the changing designs of their uncle.
* BrattyHalfPint: Occasionally they like to make their uncle the butt of their jokes, usually in the comics.
* BreakoutCharacter: They got their own comic book spinoff in the 50's, "Felix's Nephews Inky and Dinky", which ran for seven issues from 1957 to 1958.
* ChasteToons: In their initial appearances, they were said to be Felix's sons, but from 1930's "April Maze" and on, they were retconned to be Felix's nephews.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: In their modern appearances, Inky wears red shorts with white buttons (an amusingly similar outfit to that of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse) and a hat, while Winky wears a blueish-gray hat and shorts.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In "April Maze", one of the first Felix sound cartoons, they're given voices, [[TheUnintelligible although not very intelligible ones.]]
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: They look almost identical to their uncle, except pint sized.
* TheUnintelligible: In "April Maze", they are both voiced by uncredited actors, but are given no real dialogue, just childish, cat-like gibberish.

!!Goldie the Goose

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldie_goose.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Honk, honk!"]]

-> '''Debut''': ''WesternAnimation/TheGooseThatLaidTheGoldenEgg'' (1936)

A friendly goose who is able to lay golden eggs that Felix can grind up into golden coins. She helps Felix run a relief business in her appearance, but becomes the target of the pirate Captain Kidd due to her valuable golden eggs.

!!Tropes:

* DamselInDistress: She ends up getting captured by Captain Kidd for her golden eggs, and Felix has to rescue her.
* MeaningfulName: She's a golden goose who can lay golden eggs.
* PublicDomainCharacter: She's the classic golden goose of Aesop's Fables fame.
* TheVoiceless: She isn't capable of speaking, only communicating in honks.

-> '''Debut''': ''WesternAnimation/TheGooseThatLaidTheGoldenEgg'' (1936)

A oneshot villain who appeared in the first of the three Van Beuren Felix the Cat cartoons. A pirate obviously based on the real life pirate Captain William Kidd, he kidnaps Felix's golden goose so that he can steal her precious golden eggs.

!!Tropes:
* DogFace: His design is depicted like this.
* {{Expy}}: Of Disney's Pete in regards to his thuggish physique, voice and personality.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: He's a cartoon animal take on a real life pirate.
* {{Pirate}}: Kidd is one of the classic swashbuckling, pillage and plundering type.
* SeadogPegLeg: Captain Kidd has one. He duels ably with Felix at first, until his peg gets stuck in a knothole on the pirate ship's deck.
* VillainOfTheWeek: He's a oneshot bad guy whose sole appearance was in the first Van Beuren Felix cartoon.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neptune_nonsensemp4_snapshot_0525_20170425_132121_7.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Neptune's various designs throughout the Felix franchise.[[note]]From left to right--his [[Creator/VanBeurenStudios Van Beuren design]] from ''WesternAnimation/NeptuneNonsense'', his [[WesternAnimation/JoeOrioloFelixTheCat Joe Oriolo]] design from ''[[Recap/JoeOrioloFelixTheCat1x35KingNeptunesSOS King Neptune's S.O.S.]]'', and his ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat Twisted Tales]]'' design from ''The Underwater Kingdom'']]

->'''Debut''': ''WesternAnimation/NeptuneNonsense'' (1936)

!!!!!!Voiced By: Jack Mercer (Trans-Lux Series), Creator/JessHarnell (Twisted Tales)

The benevolent ruler of the sea that Felix encounters while trying to find his pet goldfish.

While Neptune only appeared in one of the classic era Felix shorts, other variations of the character have appeared in the Joe Oriolo series (i.e. ''[[Recap/JoeOrioloFelixTheCat1x33MooMooIslandOysters Moo Moo Island Oysters]]'', ''[[Recap/JoeOrioloFelixTheCat1x35KingNeptunesSOS King Neptune's S.O.S.]]'') and the ''Twisted Tales'' series (i.e. "The Underwater Kingdom").

* AdaptationalNameChange: In Twisted Tales, he calls himself King Happy Neppy.
* CanonImmigrant: As mentioned above, variations of the character have appeared in two other Felix the Cat series despite only appearing in the very short lived Van Beuren branch of the series. The Joe Oriolo one isn't intended as the same character and just draws inspiration from the same mythical character, but the Twisted Tales Neptune is loosely inspired by his Van Beuren appearance, considering the plot of his episode is kicked into action by a fish [[ShowWithinAShow watching "Neptune Nonsense" in-universe]].
* ChivalrousPervert: In ''Neptune Nonsense'', he has a topless mermaid dancer by his side who flirts with him, much to his pleasure.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's a few stories tall in height and is the ruler of the sea.
* PapaWolf: When he believes Felix is trying to eat the fish he rules over, he has Felix arrested and angrily grills him, rhetorically asking how he would feel if he was captured and cooked alive like his subjects. He changes his tune when Felix reveals that he doesn't eat fish and is just looking for a companion for his pet goldfish.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bold_king_colemp4_snapshot_0243_20170425_130125.jpg]]

-> '''Debut''': ''WesternAnimation/BoldKingCole'' (1936)

Based on the classic NurseryRhyme character, King Cole is a oneshot character whose sole appearance was in the third and last of the Van Beuren Felix the Cat cartoons. He's a pompous windbag who loves bragging, and this gets him into a pickle with the ghosts of his ancestors who live in his castle, forcing Felix to help him out.

!!Tropes:
* DisproportionateReward: For saving him from the ghosts, King Cole immediately gives Felix a royal title, Prince Felix, as a reward.
* MilesGloriosus: He brags about his supposed heroics but then runs an hides from anything he perceives as a threat. Eventually, the spirits of past kings get tired of his bragging and proceed kidnap him, strapping him to a machine to "knock the wind out of the old windbag", and Felix has to face his own fears to rescue him.

!!Butch the Bully Bulldog

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/previewscreensnapz010.jpg]]

->'''Debut''': ''Seeds and Proceeds'' (Felix the Cat #10, 1949, Dell Comics)

A oneshot crook who made a brief appearance in one of the Felix the Cat comics, robbing Felix of a wallet with Mexican Jumping Beans (which bounce right back to him as the crook walks off). Despite having an extremely small role in the story and only appearing in four panels, he's a precursor to Rock Bottom from the Joe Oriolo Felix cartoons [[WordOfGod per word of Don Oriolo.]]

* AlliterativeName: '''B'''utch the '''B'''ully '''B'''ulldog.
* BullyBulldog: It's in his name.
* NoNameGiven: He's unnamed in his sole appearance, but [[WordOfGod Don Oriolo]] revealed his name in an interview.
* VillainOfTheWeek: A oneshot crook who only made a very brief appearance in one of the old Felix the Cat comics. Rock Bottom is considered a spiritual successor to him.
