editing character tropes. Tropes that are not a part of someone's personality/character or have only happened once to them should not be counted; I have added them to general tropes instead.

* AngelicTransformation: After his death, Rufus ascends to an angel, complete with HolyHalo.
* BlackComedyPetDeath: Owing in part to the proven existence of Heaven, Rufus' death is treated with some comedy as Grape repeats a gag from his first appearance by taking every euphemism for death he uses entirely literally.
* CountryCousin: To Grape and Peanut. Rufus lives on a farm a ways away from Babylon Gardens under their uncle Reuben, and they only get to see him once in life.
* DeathByNewberyMedal: Somewhat parodied. Rufus is a dog Max had a close tie with who dies to further his character. Aside from the fact that this is a ''sapient'' dog, DeathIsCheap, and he's able to come back to help out Max on two separate occasions.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Rufus is one of the few comic characters with heterochromia, having one green eye and one blue eye.
* FunetikAksent: Rufus' southern drawl is often written out in his dialogue.
* GrandRomanticGesture: Rufus considers a dead chicken ([[PredationIsNatural who are sapient in this universe]], mind you) to be a perfectly good offer in exchange for romance. He tells Peanut to try it on Grape, and in his Valentines Day card offers one to the reader as well.
* HolyHalo: Receives one upon death.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Although with no legal backing, Rufus was a father figure to Max and helped him find a better home after a bad experience on Rufus' farm.
* InterspeciesRomance: After death, Rufus hooks up with a Sabertooth Cat from thousands of years before his time.
* INeverGotAnyLetters: After helping Max get a family, Rufus spent years sending them letters checking up on them, none of which Max responded to. Rufus' response to this is sadness rather than anger, and when he dies he makes sure to see Max one or two final times.
* KilledOffscreen: Rufus' passing is never seen, but confirmed by his being an angel in his next appearance.
* OldDog: Rufus is approaching death when Peanut and Grape meet him, and finally kicks it offscreen in between arcs.
* ParentalSubstitute: For Max's father, him having been a stray cat prior to meeting Rufus.
* PerpetualSmiler: In ''Temple Crashers 2'', Rufus spends the entire arc with a huge knowing smile plastered on his face, especially as he teases the rest of his crew with his own death.
* PlatonicKissing: Rufus kisses Max on the cheek, which is mistaken for romantic affection by the others until he's revealed to have been Max's father figure.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: His biography on the original website speculates he might be attracted to cats like his cousin Peanut, which is proven when he hooks up with one in death.
* SouthernGentleman: An entirely pleasant example. Rufus helps Peanut try to get with Grape, takes in Max as a kitten, and helps him find a home across the course of his own life.
* UnfinishedBusiness: Rufus considered his own to be seeing Max one final time, which he accomplished. He came back again later to help Max put to rest his own turmoil.
