* RetconningTheWiki: [[CatsAreMean Bucky]] edits {{Wiki/Wikipedia}} to say that he won Wimbledon and that his "album" went "fourple platinum", as well as that he beat up [[SitcomArchNemesis Fungo]]

* OneSceneTwoMonologues: most commonly between Bucky and Satchel, typically leading to a series of non-sequiturs

** One comic had Satchel using a ''TabletopGames/CandyLand'' board in conjunction with an Ouija widget; and wondering why a ghost would pass through multiple dimensions to tell him "Gumdrop, Gumdrop, Lolly" when Bucky tells him he needs a Ouija board to make the widget work properly.

** In one series of strips, Bucky meets a cat simply named "Cat Cat". He figured he was getting to old to be named "Kitty Kitty".

** Satchel was shown to be this in the first strip, where on a butterfly catching outing with Bucky he snared a [[EpicFail vulture]] and was thrashed by it.

** In one early strip, Rob and Satchel bump into each other in the hallway, while Rob was eating from a jar of peanut butter, and Satchel was eating from a bag of jerky bits. This is a parody of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups commercials from the 1970s (which used chocolate instead of jerky).

Seems to have become a [[SundayStrip Sunday-only strip]] as of 2013, with only reruns running on weekdays, although no official statement has ever been made about this. [[WordOfDante According to Stephan Pastis,]] Conley has been taking several breaks from the strip due to "personal reasons".

-->'''Rob:''' I know you like that coonskin thing, but it just seems kind of morbid, you know...wearing the skin of another animal...
-->'''Bucky:''' And that's different from your leather jacket ''how''?
-->'''Rob:''' ''Well'', it... see... when ''I''... um... [[GoToYourRoom Go to your closet]].

-->'''Rob:''' No! ''No!'' You guys are ''so'' immature! I wanna go home! ''I wanna go home!!''

-->'''Rob:''' Oh! Um. No reason.

* ITasteDelicious
* JerkAss: Bucky

-->'''Oreo:''' Aw, come on, Satchmo, this ain't cool, yo!
-->'''Satchel:''' Um... wait, what isn't? Um... "yo"?
-->'''Oreo:''' Bringin' the hydrophobe (Bucky), yo!
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Bucky again.

* LiteralMinded: Pets in general seem to have trouble with this.
* {{Malaproper}}: Bucky and Satchel again.

-->'''Rob''': So... you got a name?
-->'''Dog''': Of course.
-->''(Beat)''
-->'''Rob''': Can you '''tell''' me your name?
-->'''Dog''': Yes, I can.
-->''(Beat)''

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Many of the animals in this universe clearly have human-level intelligence, but are kept as pets and livestock, denied the right to vote, given medical treatment involuntarily, and do not get paid for work.

-->'''Satchel''': It...it...it looks...it looks like...like he's seen...seen a...a...seen a ''GHOST!''
-->'''Rob:''' Well, ''duh'', I thought you'd never finish that sentence.

* SteathInsult: In one strip, Bucky calls himself a "five-tool cat." Rob suggests a "compromise" of calling him "one giant tool", which Bucky agrees to.

* RealityEnsues: Rob's mom tries to make her cat go vegetarian. Said cat is miserable and unhealthy as a result.

* OpaqueNerdGlasses: When the strip began, Rob was always shown wearing these. They were phased out over time with it being explicitly stated that he switched to contacts. They still appear every now and then.

* WeCantHaveNiceThings: Rob says this, word-for-word, when Bucky destroys his and Satchel's bobble-head figure of Nomar Garciaparra (because Bucky took its seemingly nodding expression as an indication it wanted a fight).

* AscendedMeme: The strip had been compared to {{Garfield}} since it started. At one point in the comic Bucky gets a Garfield book and immediately notes how their lives are so similar.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Taken to odd lengths at times. While "Holy cow!" is a fairly common expression, things like "What the cow?!" or "Oh my cow!" aren't. Bucky tends to use {{Garfield}} in these cases.

* AmbiguousReligions: Any indication of Rob's religion seem to be left up to the imagination. He seems to be familiar enough with TheBible, as he is able to quote Scripture (particularly to try and set examples of how Bucky should behave), though on one specific occasion, where he's asked if he minds stating his religion, he responds, "Yeah, I kinda do mind." At the same time, Rob also expresses having doubt that there is an Afterlife, and even finds the idea of it to be weird and far-fetched, though admits that if there is one, he hopes to be there.

* RetconningTheWiki: [[CatsAreMean Bucky]] edits [[ThatOtherWiki Wikipedia]] to say that he won Wimbledon and that his "album" went "fourple platinum", as well as that he beat up [[SitcomArchNemesis Fungo]]

* BusyBeaver: Subverted from the rejected characters file: Bricker Van Damme, the world's laziest beaver. He gets his wood from a store, and uses his tail as a kickstand.
