!Tropes:
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Granted, the whole franchise is rather inconsistent with Felix's personality, but the ''Betty Boop & Felix'' incarnation of Felix is by far the most brazenly changed in character, since it turns him into an {{Expy}} of ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}, complete with speaking with thought balloons and saying acerbic things in his head.
* AdaptedOut: Felix's CartoonyTail abilities and the Magic Bag of Tricks are absent from this series.
* AlternateContinuity: Felix acts as a normal, non speaking house pet to WesternAnimation/BettyBoop, basically replacing Pudgy the dog from Betty's own cartoons. The Felix of this continuity was a lot closer in personality to ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' in that he was given acerbic things to say via thought balloons. He never spoke and had [[AdaptedOut neither a detachable tail nor his Magic Bag of Tricks]]. Betty was very much the Jon Arbuckle to Felix's ''Garfield'', an owner & her pet cat, and a lot of the humor in this strip relied mostly on name-dropping current celebrities and puns. Betty herself was the main focus of the comic, with Felix himself usually being [[OutOfFocus off to the side]]. Eventually, Felix was [[PutOnABus dropped from the strip altogether]] when King Features Syndicate realized they didn't actually have the rights to use him, making it a solo Betty Boop comic from then on.
