* The animals in Creator/BeatrixPotter stories who often lose their clothes in awkward situations seem not to care to realize their current state of undress, whether it's [[Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit Peter Rabbit's]] jacket and shoes in one story, or [[Literature/TheTaleOfTomKitten TomKitten]] and his siblings losing their duds to the Puddleducks in another. Clothing on animals just seems like this superficial, uncomfortable, if not unnecessary requirement in such a world, yet one is trying to abide to a more civilized form of life by doing so.

* When everybody gets up in ''MuppetsFromSpace'', Kermit wears pyjamas (we even see the pyjama bottoms) and then a bathrobe on top of that. Fozzie takes it UpToEleven; a character who's normally naked except for [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal a hat and a tie]], is wearing a heavy raincoat to ''take a shower''.

* The ClassicDisneyShorts feature the swimwear/sleepwear and winter attire paradoxes a lot, especially with DonaldDuck and ChipAndDale. For example:

* Justified in the BugsBunny short "High-Diving Hare". While wayyy up on the high-dive platform, Bugs tells Yosemite Sam to cover his eyes while he puts on a bathing suit. It was really just a trick to avoid diving.

* Disney's DonaldDuck is a prime example of a pantless HalfDressedCartoonAnimal who acts denuded like a human when he is naked. Not only does he run around with a shirt but no pants, but when said shirt is taken he reacts to protect his modesty despite not having anything to protect.
** However, in the ''HouseOfMouse'' episode adaptation of ''The Nutcracker Suite'', Donald as the Mouse King doesn't seem to act denuded, despite not wearing a shirt in the episode.

* The Disney version of WinnieThePooh wears only a shirt that is one size too small, but at night he wears a proper-sized nightgown and night cap. On a sidenote, the original illustrations show Pooh naked most of the time, with the shirt only worn during winter.

!!!Otherwise Clothed Animal Not Reacting to State of Undress
This is when an otherwise clothed animal, whether fully, mostly, or partly clothed or accessory-wearing animal loses part or all his/her clothes, but doesn't act denuded to his/her state of undress or nudity.

* The Cheshire Cat in Disney's animated ''Disney/AliceInWondrland'' doffed his ears in the style that MickeyMouse did.

* In the 1929 ClassicDisneyShort, "The Karnival Kid," MickeyMouse doffs his ears as if they were a hat.

* '''Sleepwear:''' A character's nightgown or pajamas would cover their body more than their typical daywear does. If they're wearing pajamas, they would be wearing pajama bottoms even if they are normally naked below the waist.
* '''Swimwear:''' An animal character who doesn't normally wear pants, shorts, or a skirt would be wearing swim trunks if male or a swimsuit if female.

This is when a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal or, in a few cases, an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal reacts to protect his or her modesty when he or she is spotted completely naked.

* ''AdventureTime'' provides an odd example where [[CanineCompanion Jake, a dog]], appears naked but is once revealed to be wearing pants that are made out of spider web and thus basically invisible. Why does he bother? In another episode he freaks out at the idea of [[AnIcePerson the Ice King]] seeing him sleep in the nude, and he's also been seen wearing a ModestyTowel.

* ''ComicStrip//CalvinAndHobbes'': Hobbes doesn't wear clothes, although in one storyline he wears "jams" to go swimming.

* Mrs. Cluck, an otherwise normal hen in the ''HigglytownHeros'' episode "Corn to be Wild" wears a two piece swimming outfit when cannonballing into the lake, but is otherwise naked. Fran the squirrel in contrast only wears a swimming cap to cannonball.

* WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck puts a towel around his waist after showering. This is far more commonly seen in the comics than in the animated shorts.

* ''ComicBook/CalvinAndHobbes'': Hobbes doesn't wear clothes, although in one storyline he wears "jams" to go swimming.

* {{Literature/Dinoverse}} features human characters being cast back in time and made to inhabit the bodies of dinosaurs. Only one of them is ever shown to feel bothered by being naked in dinosaur form, with everyone else shrugging and saying there's nothing to cover when she brings it up. She sticks leaves to her borrowed body using sap, for a while, but they fall off. Then another character makes her a kind of cursory SeashellBikini, the "bottom" being a vine belt with a shell hanging underneath, and for several scenes after that she's furious whenever these get cut off or otherwise removed. Later, after going through some CharacterDevelopment, she becomes just as unworried about it as the others.
