7
8	The former of the title brothers. Cat is the smarter and more sophisticated of the pair, often coming up with hare-brained get-rich-quick schemes and being literally dragged around by his dimwit brother.
9	----
10	* AbhorrentAdmirer: He is occasionally portrayed being attracted to Shriek, who, like the other Greasers, despises cats.
11	* AHeadAtEachEnd: Like Dog, his head is at one end of their body.
12	* AxCrazy: In "Monster Truck Folly" he ends up snapping and attacking everyone unprovoked.
13	* BewareTheSillyOnes: While not particularly silly, Cat is humorous through his constant misfortune, snark, and snobbishness. As "Monster Truck Folly" shows, when he gets pushed too far, he goes into an UnstoppableRage,
14	* BigBrotherBully: DependingOnTheWriter, he may be one to Dog by abusing him, yelling at him, or manipulating him for his own personal gain.
15	* BigBrotherInstinct: Even though he's only a few minutes older than Dog, he's protective of him and tries to keep him out of trouble.
16	* BornUnlucky: He is often the one of the pair who ends up with the worst luck and is more often than not on the receiving end of the short end of the stick. Granted, he does bring half of it on himself, but even when he does nothing wrong, he still has bad things happen to him.
17	* ButtMonkey: Attracts a lot of pain, sometimes due to Dog's carelessness.
18	* CatsAreMean: Sometimes. On occasion, he's downright cruel.
19	* CatsAreSnarkers: And how! [[spoiler: He gets it from his dad.]]
20	* CharacterCatchphrase:
21	** "Bee-yoo-tee-ful!"
22	** "It just doesn't get any better than this!"
23	** "Terr-riffic" (sarcastically)
24	** "MY BODY MY BODY MY BODYYYYAAAGH!!!"
25	** A deep-voiced "Ohhh MOMMA" when he's feeling greedy.
26	* TheChewToy: Poor guy can't seem to catch a break.
27	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He's usually the voice of reason to Dog.
28	* DeadpanSnarker: Especially towards Dog's idiocy.
29	* ADogNamedDog: Just like Dog, he's a cat named Cat.
30	* TheDogBitesBack: The second half of "Monster Truck Rally" has him beating the crap out of everyone who has ever crossed him over the course of the series after being pushed to his RageBreakingPoint.
31	* {{Greed}}: His obsession with money and material possession can go a little too far sometimes.
32	* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:The big movie about finding their long lost parents, they find out in the end that the parents that raised them as kids had adopted them. And were also a talking frog and a sasquatch. They never find out who their biological parents are, but are content to reunite with the ones that cared for them.]]
33	* HeavySleeper: In "War of the [=CatDog=]", Dog tries to make sure Cat is asleep, so he tries calling his name, poking him, and even putting his hand in Cat's mouth. Cat sleeps through all this.
34	* JerkassHasAPoint: His frustration with Dog's antics is actually pretty understandable given how much trouble his brother tends to drag him into.
35	** "The Great Parent Mystery" has Cat almost coldly telling Dog that his theories about their parents are wrong and that the only reason for their absence is that they aren't looking for him and Dog. It was very harsh but they've lived almost their entire lives without their parents and Dog's theories have zero basis in fact or evidence of any kind. Can't blame him for thinking the worst.
36	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be mean at times, but he does care about his brother.
37	* KarmicButtMonkey: About half of his suffering is due to a result of him catching a good dose of karma whenever his selfishness and greed comes back to bite him.
38	* LaserGuidedKarma: Episodes where he acts selfish often end with him getting his comeuppance. For instance, "Fred the Flying Fish" has him lose the money he got from selling Fred to Rancid Rabbit with no regard for how Fred would be treated.
39	* LikeFatherLikeSon: His [[spoiler:adoptive]] father is also a snarker.
40	* MrViceGuy: He can be greedy, and cross the line into villainy, but most of the time he is the hero.
41	* TheMatchmaker: The most prevalent example being in "Shriek Loves Dog," where we get a visual of him shooting a CupidsArrow when Dog falls in love. He's tried to hook other characters up with people too, particularly Winslow and Lube.
42	* {{Narcissist}}: To the point that one episode implies that he spells his name in all capital letters.
43	* NeatFreak: In contrast to [[ThePigPen Dog]].
44	* NoRespectGuy: He isn't very well liked in his town.
45	* NostalgiaFilter: {{Deconstruction}}. In the episode "Back to School", Cat is looking forward to attending his high school reunion and dancing with his old crush Sally. He describes himself as popular and having a great time in high school. Even in the beginning of the episode something is fishy, with all of the memorabilia and rewards he claimed were his really belonging to Dog, and their diploma having Dog's name but not Cat's. He tells Dog that they need to correct it by visiting their old high school. The brothers visit Rancid the school principal about the diploma, and it is revealed Cat never attended the last day of school so for him to have the diploma and be able to attend the reunion dance, he must go back to school for one day. Cat is happy to relive his glory days, but wonders why he can't remember his last day at school. But throughout the day things just keep going wrong with him while Dog is popular - three of Cat's new classmates are the relatives of the Greasers who make him miserable, his crush Sally is indifferent to him, and after class when he asks her to dance with him at the reunion, she coldly tells him that she has a boyfriend and makes it clear that she does not like him. At lunch both the cool kids and nerds refuse to let Cat sit with them, and then a food fight break out and Cat gets blamed for it. Finally at gym he is humiliated by Cliff, who is the teacher and Sally's boyfriend, who brings Sally there to watch his humiliation. As the kids laugh at Cat and call him a loser, his repressed memories come back and he realize the truth - Cat was an outcast and all of his positive memories of school were Dog's, and at the last day of school he was humiliated at gym by Cliff's father Coach Feltbottom, the gym teacher at the time, where he and all the other kids call him a loser, which made Cat run away and block out his memory of the day. And because Cat blocked out his memory of that day and chose to remember things differently, he set himself up for more humiliation in this episode.
46	* NotSoAboveItAll: Arguably a Deconstruction, considering what he (and sometimes Dog) will go through on a daily basis. In slew of being in a town where he's beaten and treated like an outcast, it doesn't hurt to get a little petty revenge now and again when he gets the chance.
47	** Generally speaking, for someone who claims to be sophisticated, he won't pass up a chance to do something to satisfy his selfish curiosity, usually at the expense of Dog's trust.
48	** Also, for all the times he's complained about Dog and his incessant need of being a "dog", he has given in to his instinctive urges towards being a "cat" sometimes; notably developing a sudden taste for mice (Chasing Winslow), and at one point, eating Dog's pet fish, "Veronica".
49	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: In "Smarter Than the Average Cat", we find out that his real name is Felinius and Cat is just a nickname.
50	* OnlySaneMan: He's usually this to [[TheDitz Dog]].
51	* RageBreakingPoint: After all the abuse he takes throughout the series, when he gets stuck in a monster truck arena where anything goes and is repeatedly harassed and subject to even more taunts and AmusingInjuries than usual, Cat snaps and goes into an UnstoppableRage in which he beats the crap out of everyone who has ever screwed him over, culminating in him destroying the Greasers’ truck in one punch.
52	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Cat sports these at the start of his RageBreakingPoint in "Monster Truck Folly".
53	* SmallNameBigEgo: Cat quite often has an inflated opinion of himself.
54	* SurroundedByIdiots: He's even attached to one!
55	* ThrowTheDogABone: Or, in his case, Throw the Cat a Fish. Cat has his moments where he comes up on top at the end, such as "Kookie Prank Day" where he got back at everyone who pranked him.
56	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: White fish chub. And fish in general. Perhaps best illustrated when he and Dog go to Rancid's all you can eat buffet and Cat expresses irritation at Dog's CrazyConsumption...until Rancid brings out a tray of sushi and Cat proceeds to go ''ballistic''.
57	-->'''Cat:''' Fishy...fishy...FISH!!!!! (''scarfs down as much sushi as he can'')
58	* {{Tsundere}}: He's usually shown to be [[ItsAllAboutMe very selfish]] and [[MoneyFetish obsessed entirely with money]], but whenever Dog has been utterly humiliated, [[BigBrotherInstinct he'll stop at nothing to make him happy again]].
59	* UnstoppableRage: In “Monster Truck Folly”.
60	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He has aquaphobia which makes him afraid of water. This is best shown when he's at the beach and the others challenge him to ride a big wave, in which he claims he only likes the big waves that are at least thirty feet high.

64	[[quoteright:291:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/291px_dog.jpg]]
65	-> Voiced by: Creator/TomKenny
66
67	The other end of the eponymous conjoined brothers. Dog is a happy-go-lucky dimwit who loves food and chasing vehicles, often to the frustration of Cat.
68	----
69	* AHeadAtEachEnd: Like Cat, his head is at one side of their body.
70	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To his older twin brother Cat, albeit usually unintentionally.
71	* BerserkButton: Stealing his bones from his bone cellar is really not a good idea.
72	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cat once learned the hard way not to ''actually'' make Dog angry.
73	* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted; he's very, very protective of his older twin brother, Cat.
74	* BigEater: His appetite appears to be limitless.
75	* BreakTheCutie: Dog is much more sympathetic than most people realize. He's been laughed at by the entire town of Nearberg for being a failure hero (Dog The Mighty), worked to the point of hypothermia in a sled dog race (Mush Dog Mush), almost sold off as a freak show attraction by his own brother after contacting a disease (Dog's Strange Condition), bullied by mailmen while in a depressed state (Fistful Of Mail), driven to the brink of paranoia (Safety Dog), spent an entire episode thinking he was allergic to his own brother (Sneezy Dog) and has been cheated and lied to several times by his own brother. He also came dangerously close to crossing the DespairEventHorizon in the Great Parents Mystery special.
76	* CartoonDogBreed: He's an ambiguous-looking orange-yellow dog with darker orange spots. He's whatever dog breed ends up conjoined twins with a cat.
77	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Hi-ho diggety!!" Dog even ''calls'' it his catchphrase! [[spoiler: He gets it from his mom.]]
78	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He is easily distracted by balls, garbage trucks, bones, food, and his overactive imagination.
79	* TheCuckoolanderWasRight:
80	** In "The Great Parent Mystery", Dog comes up with a lot of ridiculous theories about what happened to his and Cat's parents, such as being frozen in a block of ice at the North Pole, being abducted by aliens, and being enslaved by evil mutant tree gnomes. Their [[spoiler: adoptive]] parents later reveal that at least some of Dog's theories happened to them while they were looking for [=CatDog=].
81	** In "Meat Dog's Friends", Dog believes that meat comes from meat trees planted by Johnny Meatseed. After going insane from learning that meat is made from animals and attempting to eat his brother Cat when he can't go through with eating vegetables and rocks instead, it turns out that meat trees and Johnny Meatseed actually exist.
82	* TheCutie: His goofy, sweet behavior gives him this status. [[spoiler:He gets it from his mother.]]
83	* TheDitz: Is often brainless, needing Cat to do everything for him.
84	* ADogNamedDog: Literally.
85	* DogsAreDumb: In fact, a good portion of the dogs on the show are portrayed this way.
86	* DumbBlond: Dog doesn't normally have hair, however a flashback to TheSeventies has him with blond hair.
87	* DumbIsGood: Usually is the more reasonable one if Cat is being a major {{Jerkass}} in the episode.
88	* TheFool: Dog frequently causes multiple catastrophes and AmusingInjuries though more often than not fate is on his side and leaves him unscathed (and then punishes Cat twice as hard for the both of them).
89	* GeniusDitz: He's actually shown to be quite the SupremeChef in the Ingrid Twins' debut episode.
90	* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:The big movie about finding their long lost parents, they find out in the end that the parents that raised them as kids had adopted them. And were also a talking frog and a sasquatch. They never find out who their biological parents are, but are content to reunite with the ones that cared for them.]]
91	* IdiotHoudini: Dog is a hyperactive dimwit that causes chaos with his canine tendencies. It is usually Cat that suffers the consequences for it however.
92	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Most of the time, Dog never realizes just how much pain (whether physical or even emotional) he causes his brother at times.
93	* {{Keet}}: This critter has boundless energy.
94	* KindheartedSimpleton: What he lacks in brains, he makes up for in kindness.
95	* JerkassBall: Sometimes acts more insensitive than usual. One example being in "Teeth For Two", where after he and Cat learn that whatever they eat affects the other's teeth and his eating habits have ruined Cat's teeth, he refuses to change his eating habits or take care of his teeth for Cat's sake, being uncaring for the pain he is causing Cat and leading to the brothers purposely ruining each other's teeth.
96	* LethallyStupid: Has caused a lot of destruction just because he didn't know any better.
97	* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler: Like Mother Like Son]]
98	* ManChild: Very immature... not that he ''shouldn't'' be, considering he's a ''dog'', but combined with his ability to speak he qualifies as this trope.
99	* TheMillstone: Dog is usually the one who gets the pair into trouble.
100	* NiceGuy: The nicer one of the duo.
101	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is Caninius.
102	* ThePigPen: Almost never cleans up after himself.
103	* PingPongNaivete: Somehow Dog is smart enough to know the ethics against cheating and doing schoolwork but not to realize that dragging his conjoined twin across the street may cause slight physical harm.
104	* TooDumbToLive: Some of the things he does could have gotten them killed.
105	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bones, moldy meat, and garbage.
106	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Dog is terrified of ticks. He shares this fear with other dogs, most notably, The Greasers.

111	[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latest_3.gif]]
112	[[caption-width-right:213:''"Whatta you, nuts?"'']]
113	-> Voiced by: Creator/CarlosAlazraqui
114
115	A blue, Brooklyn-accented mouse who lives in the walls of [=CatDog=]'s home. He's usually on pretty good terms with his neighbours, but has been known to take enjoyment in tormenting them from time to time.
116	----
117	* AbusiveParents: His main purpose in life is to make [=CatDog=] miserable. In "The Great Parent Mystery" it's revealed that he found them as babies and raised them.
118	* BlackBeadEyes: One of the few characters with this eye style.
119	* CartoonCreature: Despite being referred to as a mouse, he doesn't really look like one.
120	* CharacterCatchphrase: "What are you, nuts!?"
121	** Lampshaded in "[=CatDog=] Candy"
122	--->"I'm not even asking anymore, You guys are nuts!"
123	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first few episodes in the production order, Winslow was less of a malicious prankster and more of a friendly [[TheGadfly gadfly]]. He was a ''lot'' nicer to [=CatDog=] too, to the point that Cat actually seemed to like him.
124	* DeadpanSnarker: Part of his rude behavior toward [=CatDog=] is to make remarks at their expense.
125	* DropInCharacter: He lives in [=CatDog=]'s house (the finale implies that he was its original owner) but has his own place inside the walls of said house. His arrival on the scene usually involves him emerging from a small hole in the wall and saying "Hey there, [=CatDog=]!"
126	* EvenEvilHasStandards: In "Dog Power" he's genuinely appalled at Cat's treatment of Dog.
127	* EvilLaugh: His signature cackle.
128	* InformedSpecies: He's allegedly a mouse, but looks more like a [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurf]].
129	* JerkassToOne: Or two. The majority of the time, he is an unbearable asshole to [=CatDog=], mostly Cat. The occasions where he doesn't insult or act rude to [=CatDog=] can be counted on one hand.
130	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In "All You Need Is Lube", he even schemes to help [=CatDog=] escape from [[IOweYouMyLife an overly grateful Lube's]] asphyxiating grip even though it was because he also wanted him out of the way, and in "[=CatDog=] Doesn't Live Here Anymore", he starts mourning over [=CatDog=]'s absence after a while even though it was because he was missing them as punching bags. His chances at redemption in "The Great Parent Mystery" all end up wasted by him continuing to be a douche to [=CatDog=]. He frequently looks like he's going to help them out on their journey only to insult them or make their predicaments even worse.
131	* TheNapoleon: He's extremely small and not a very pleasant person.
132	* SitcomArchNemesis: To Cat.
133	* SidekickCreatureNuisance: Invoked. He considers himself a "harasser".

142
143	A pig and a weasel who are among [=CatDog=]'s few friends.
144	----
145	* DarkHorseVictory: [[spoiler: When [=CatDog=] races Mindy to the top of an unnamed mountain, Dunglap somehow made it up first since Cat forgot his earmuffs.]]
146	* InformedSpecies: Dunglap looks more like some kind of rodent than a weasel.
147	* MessyPig: Mervis, for a given definition of "messy".
148	* {{Nice Guy}}s: They're among the few characters, along with Lola, who treat [=CatDog=] nicely.
149	* OnlySaneMan: They are the only normal characters in the series.
150	* ThoseTwoGuys: They don't seem to serve any other purpose than this.
151	* VitriolicBestBuds: Often seen bickering and yet are always together. And their fighting is [[WimpFight less than impressive.]]
152	* WickedWeasel: Averted most of the time with Dunglap, who is one of the nicest characters on the show, but revealed to be a straight example on a couple of occassions that involved abuse of power.

156	[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/z.jpeg]]
157	-> Voiced by: Creator/BillyWest
158
159	A green-skinned humanoid of unclear species usually seen working various odd jobs. Despite his name, he is anything but sunshine.
160	----
161	* BystanderSyndrome: He'd probably be the OnlySaneMan if he didn't succumb to this all the time.
162	* CartoonCreature: Nobody's quite sure ''what'' he is. WordOfGod says he was originally supposed to be a monkey.
163	* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes.
164	* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: He usually sports this expression, considering his often emotionless state of mind.
165	* TheEeyore: Subverted; he isn't so much depressed as he is boring and deadpan.
166	* HatesEveryoneEqually: Sunshine hates everyone and everything, especially Dog.
167	* IronicName: He's anything but sunny. Zig-zagged in that "The Ballad of Ol' 159" reveals that he used to be as cheerful as his name suggested.
168	* LazyBum: He often falls asleep while doing his job.
169	* TheLoad: He is never really any help at all.
170	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Just about any time he's injured for one reason or another, his response is a deadpan "ow." The most he ever expresses is after a dentist appointment, in which he complains "Owwwwwww, I'm in excruciating ''paiiiinnnnn''", in the same deadpan tone.
171	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He’s basically the show’s equivalent of Ben Stein.
172	* NotSoStoic: In "The Ballad of Ol' 159", he screams normally when he is being chased by Dog in the eponymous garbage truck.
173	* PerpetualFrowner: He very rarely smiles.
174	* TheStoic: Always speaks in a dull monotone voice.

180
181	A "yellow-bellied whippoorwill" with a Hispanic accent. She's a zoologist who first showed up to study [=CatDog=], but soon became one of their closest friends.
182	----
183	* ActionGirl: She gained her love of zoology after helping her family wrangle cattle. Not to mention the fact that she can go toe to toe with ''the Greasers''.
184	* ArtisticLicenseOrnithology: She looks and acts nothing like the type of bird she's supposed to be.
185	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Unbelievable!"
186	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She doesn't appear in any of the episodes after "The Great Parent Mystery"
187	* FeatherFingers: To the point that her wings remain armlike even when she's flying.
188	* ForScience: Most everything she does. Justified because she's a zoologist.
189	* GenkiGirl: She's very perky.
190	* InformedSpecies: She's apparently a whip-poor-will. Specifically, she says that she's a "yellow-bellied whip-poor-will", a species that doesn't even ''exist'' in real life.
191	* TheLadette: She's very tough and not so feminine.
192	* NiceGirl: She is one of the few characters consistently portrayed as being on good terms with [=CatDog=].
193	* NotSoAboveItAll: She's always willing to join in with [=CatDog's=] shenanigans.
194	* OnlySaneWoman: To some degree.
195	* SidekickCreatureNuisance: Over-the-top, loud, repetitive, especially with catch phrase.
196	* PhraseCatcher: [[RhymesOnADime "Hola Lola]]", usually said by Cat.
197	%%* PunnyName
198	* ShipTease: Occasionally seems to flirt with [=CatDog=], although that was mostly in her first appearance.
199	* TheSmartGirl: She's very intelligent.
200	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Her mother looks like an overweight version of her. It is shown in "The Great Parent Mystery" that her father also resembles her a bit.
201	* SpicyLatina: TheLadette, if she were of Latino descent.
202	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: In her first appearance "Sweet and Lola", where she decides to study [=CatDog=] and in doing so keeps invading their privacy and never leaving them alone. Subverted in that she eventually tells them indignantly that she would have left if they asked her to.

208	A suave and trendy feline and a local celebrity in Nearburg.
209	----
210	* AmbiguouslyGay: Overall the mannerisms of this celeb and posh stylish character show hints of being gay and at times he seems to have a thing for Dog, especially in episodes "[=CatDog=]'s End", "Dog the Not so Mighty", and "Dog Ate It".
211	* CharacterCatchphrase: "And I LOVE it!"
212	* DodgyToupee: It is revealed in "Picture This" that his hair isn't real.
213	* KentBrockmanNews: He's Nearburg's newscaster
214	* NiceGuy: Treats [=CatDog=] better than most Nearburg citizens
215	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's a dead ringer for Cary Grant.
216	* UpperClassTwit: Granted, he's a relatively amicable one.

223	A pair of female cats who have dated [=CatDog=] a few times.
224	----
225	* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: They look alike and even have the same name.
226	* OppositesAttract: In one episode, it's shown that the GenkiGirl Ingrid likes DeadpanSnarker Cat and the DeadpanSnarker Ingrid likes [[{{Keet}} Genki Guy]] Dog.
227	* SexyScandinavian: Both are beautiful blondes and presumably Swedish, sharing a stereotypical Scandinavian name.
228	* ShipTease: They often appear on dates with [=CatDog=].
229	* SiblingYinYang: One of them is a GenkiGirl and the other is a DeadpanSnarker, hence why they're pretty much perfect for our conjoined duo.

235	[[caption-width-right:220:(from left to right) Cliff, Shriek, and Lube]]
236	-> Voiced by: Creator/TomKenny (Cliff), Creator/MariaBamford (Shriek), Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (Lube)
237
238	The archenemies of [=CatDog=]. A trio of thuggish mutts who hate cats and beat up any they meet. The gang consists of the brutish leader Cliff; the astoundingly moronic Lube; and the diminutive Shriek, who is the sole girl of the group.
239	----
240	* BigThinShortTrio: Cliff is the big one, Lube is the skinny one, while Shriek is the short one.
241	* BlackBeadEyes: Like Winslow, Shriek has these. Lube had these as well, but in the pilot "Dog Gone", [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness as well as more hair combed at the front.]]
242	* CoDragons: They sometimes help out Rancid Rabbit, when he's the main antagonist of the episode.
243	* TheDreaded: The Greasers as a whole are this to [=CatDog=] (more specially Cat).
244	* DumbIsGood: Zigzagged; although he's still an active part of the gang in their mayhem and bullying, Lube is both the dumbest member and the nicest.
245	* EasilyForgiven: They once caught Lola spying on them when she claimed she wanted to join them, really she was trying to help [=CatDog=] discover their AchillesHeel. They find her camera and smash it, but quickly decide that since she was tough enough to try spying on them she's tough enough to join them and know what their one weakness is. They discover she's helping [=CatDog=] before they can tell her, but don't want her to leave empty handed so they show her "the best way to beat a [=CatDog=]."
246	* EmbarrassingFirstName: Cliff's name is short for Clifford, which he isn't proud of -- although he thinks it's better than his EmbarrassingMiddleName of "Maurice". Shortly after, it's revealed that Lube's name is Ignatius, though he doesn't mind.
247	* EmbarrassingLastName: Ironically, though, Cliff doesn't seem to be ashamed of his last name, even though it's ''Feltbottom''.
248	* FantasticRacism: They really hate cats. Crosses over with AnimalJingoism because they're dogs.
249	* FatBastard: Cliff is the chubbiest and the meanest.
250	* FreudianExcuse: "Rich Shriek, Poor Shriek" seems to hint at Shriek having one--her mother is shown to be [[MyBelovedSmother rather controlling]] and when her attempts at bribery fail she flat out screams at Shriek, which actually manages to intimidate her into obedience. Her dad appears to be nicer, but also a bit of a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} blissful space case]].
251	* GangOfBullies: The group of three make up a team of delinquents.
252	* GeniusDitz: Lube is incredibly stupid most of the time, but he's also revealed to be a skilled mechanic, as well as an excellent baker.
253	* HiddenDepths: All three of them have these. Cliff is very much [[RealMenWearPink in touch with his feminine side]], Shriek has a crush on Dog and is SecretlyWealthy and Lube is a skilled mechanic and a great cook. He's also apparently fluent in Spanish.
254	* InformedAttractiveness: Probably played for laughs, but a couple of episodes have Winslow commenting on Lube being attractive (granted in one of those instances Lube [[ItMakesSenseInContext was disguised as a woman]]).
255	* InsufferableImbecile: Cliff is the meanest Greaser, but none the wiser. Subverted with Lube, as he's too dumb to know any better.
256	* {{Jerkass}}: A trio of bullies who always pick on [=CatDog=].
257	* JerkassToOne: They love to pick on [=CatDog=] and other people as a whole but they often tend to single out Cat. Especially Cliff.
258	* LaserGuidedKarma: There are times when their {{Jerkass}} behavior is answered for. Even Cat, their biggest target, has managed to clobber them full stop a couple times.
259	* LikeParentLikeChild: Lube's parents are shown in the finale, and they're just as dumb as he is.
260	* MeaningfulName: Shriek has a very squeaky, raspy voice that makes her sound like she's shrieking all the time. And, boy, does she ''[[CuteButCacophonic shriek]]''.
261	* MomentOfWeakness: In the episode "All You Need is Lube", a tick attaches to Lube's toe. Cliff and Shriek are too afraid of the tick to help Lube and run away, while Cat takes the tick off, so Lube decides to serve Cat for saving his life. When Cliff and Shriek come back, lying that they left to get help, Lube is not fooled and angrily calls them out for abandoning him and tells them he's with Cat now. Cliff and Shriek genuinely feel bad about letting Lube down and do try to make it up to him to earn back their friendship.
262	* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Lube is the TokenGoodTeammate and too dumb to know any better, Cliff is an unforgiving bully, and Shriek does have a softer side, but is normally malicious.
263	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Cliff's real name is Clifford, Shriek's real name is Alice and Lube's real name is Ignatius.
264	* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: When Rancid is the BigBad, they're usually acting as his minions.
265	* PetTheDog: Occasionally, they will set aside their antagonism toward [=CatDog=] to assist them in a common goal.
266	* RealMenWearPink: Cliff [[spoiler: takes ballet]]. He's not only really good at it, but he's also really ''proud'' of it. Mostly because it helps make him better at being a thug.
267	* SecretlyWealthy: Shriek. [[RebelliousPrincess She really hates it, though.]]
268	* SpoiledBrat: Shriek is a wealthy rebel.
269	* StrongFamilyResemblance:
270	** Shriek and her parents are shown to look a lot alike in "Rich Shriek, Poor Shriek".
271	** In "Back to School", [=CatDog=] encounters Cliff's nephew Biff, Shriek's niece Squeak, and Lube's nephew Bartholomew, who all look like their uncles and aunt. In a flashback, we also see Cliff's dad, who looks just like his son.
272	** It is shown in "The Great Parent Mystery" that Cliff's mom also looks like her son and that Lube bears some resemblance to his parents as well.
273	* TeamMom: ''Lube'', if you can believe it. It's shown a couple of times when he bakes snacks for Shriek and Cliff, and in one episode he irons Cliff's clothes and speaks to him in a decidedly mom-like fashion about it.
274	-->'''Lube:''' Extra starchy, just the way you like it!
275	* TerribleTrio: These three are always looking for trouble.
276	* TokenGoodTeammate: Lube by himself is not that bad. He just follows along with the others, and is too dumb to know any better.
277	* TrueCompanions: [[DependingOnTheWriter Several episodes]] show them to be this. They may be rather nasty bullies, but they stick together. There are times where this doesn't hold up though.
278	* UngratefulBastard: Cliff in "Squirrel Dog" - even though [=CatDog=] were the only ones to show him any kindness when he was considered a freak, he goes straight back to bullying them once he gets unstuck from Eddie the squirrel.
279	* UnmanlySecret: Cliff has several that he reveals in one episode, including an EmbarrassingMiddleName and the fact he still wets the bed. Ironically, the one secret of his that Cat and Dog ''think'' is this trope turns out to be something he's actually [[RealMenWearPink really proud of]].
280	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: No one seemed to realize that Shriek was a girl, not even her fellow Greaser Dogs. Everyone was horrified when they found out, mainly due to them not recognizing her, [[CleansUpNicely and finding her quite attractive when she wore a dress.]]
281	* VillainousCrush: Shriek has a crush on Dog. Strangely enough, ''Cat'' seems to be attracted to her. A few episodes suggest that Dog reciprocates Shriek's crush. In one where they're all convinced that the apocalypse is coming, Shriek confesses to and kisses him, prompting Dog to go into PostKissCatatonia with a big goofy grin on his face.
282	* WithFriendsLikeThese: The Greasers, despite being rather nasty bullies, are close and do stick together. However, at the same time there are times where they are willing to turn on and leave each other when they see each other as weak and different.
283	** In the episode "Squirrel Dog", when Cliff gets Eddie the Squirrel stuck on his back, Lube and Shriek refuse to help Cliff and abandon him, because in their eyes Cliff was now a freak. They only take him back when Cliff accidentally gets Eddie off his back and Cliff shows he learned nothing by going back to being a bully.
284	** In the episode "Cliff's Little Secret", when [=CatDog=] find out that Cliff takes ballet dancing, they no longer fear him, and it drives him insane, with Shriek angry that [=CatDog=] no longer fear them. After being laughed at by [=CatDog=] during almost the whole episode, Shriek and Lube decide to leave Cliff, with Shriek telling Cliff she love him like a brother, but she never want to see him again, with Lube admitting the same. When Cliff begs them not to go and asks what will happen to him, Shriek admits she doesn't care. It's only when Cliff discovers why [=CatDog=] stopped fearing him and make them fear him again do Shriek and Lube take him back.
285	* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler:"The Great Parent Mystery" reveals that Lube is part-cat, his father being a dog and his mother being a cat.]]
286	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: All three of them are terrified of ticks which was the main plot point of one episode where Cliff and Shriek leave Lube to having one stuck on him until Cat removes it. They all share this fear with Dog.

290	-> Voiced by: Creator/BillyWest
291
292	A large green rabbit who antagonizes [=CatDog=] just as often as the Greasers do. Somewhere between the mayor and the CEO of Nearburg, he seems to have managerial-level positions in virtually every business in the city.
293	----
294	* BigBad: Nearly every episode he's in has him as the main antagonist.
295	* BigBadWannabe: Deteriorates into this as the show went on.
296	* BlackBeadEyes: He has small dots for eyes like several other characters.
297	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Leaping lumbago!" and "What what WHAT!?"
298	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: It's implied that he actually ''owns Nearburg''.
299	* TheDitz: Sometimes.
300	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
301	** Seeing [=CatDog=] swarmed with psychotic fleas and the flea belt no longer being enough to help them is enough to convince him to give them a flea bath with no apparent ulterior motive.
302	** In the dog show episode, he chews out the other contestants for attacking Cat when his and Dog's cover is blown, telling them that they should know better than to act so uncouth.
303	* FatBastard: Not as chubby as Cliff, but still counts.
304	* GreenAndMean: A green rabbit with ''SO'' much emphasis on "mean".
305	* {{Jerkass}}: He's very antagonistic towards [=CatDog=]. In one episode, he bans them from a taco restaurant for no reason.
306	* MayorPain: Since he owns all the jobs including the government positions.

309	* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: He has ''all the jobs''. What job he is doing depends on the episode.
310	* PetTheDog: He'll sometimes help out [=CatDog=] when it's absolutely necessary. He's not the least bit antagonistic in "Flea or Die" (in which he plays a doctor), and at the end of the episode, when the duo show up at his clinic covered in fleas and begging for a flea bath, he freaks out and immediately gives them one without hesitation.
311	* PresidentEvil: Subverted in ''A Dog Ate My Homework''--he's depicted as the president in it, but he's less evil so much as he is incompetent and lazy.
312	* SpeciesSurname: Rancid '''Rabbit'''.

319	----
320	* AmbiguouslyGay: He was more than content to be stuck with Cliff forever the moment he was glued to his jacket.
321	* HarmlessVillain: Of all the people who actively antagonize [=CatDog=], he's the most ineffectual and isn't really a threat.
322	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Heavy on the ineffectual, light on the sympathetic.
323	* InformedSpecies: He's supposed to be a squirrel?
324	%%* {{Jerkass}}
325	* MotorMouth: Nobody can shut the little twerp up.
326	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He almost killed Lube with a tick at one point and built a giant robotic cat to get revenge on the Greasers and enslave the town.
327	* TheSixthRanger: Despite the Greasers dislike towards him, there are a few episodes where he is shown hanging out with them without any problems. One example is ''Rinky Dinks'' where he is a member of their ice hockey team and joins them in kicking everyone off the ice.
328	* SidekickCreatureNuisance: A short squirrel who is obnoxious.
329	* TheTeamWannabe: He wants to be a member of the Greasers, but Cliff, Lube, and Shriek won't give him the time of day.
330	* VocalEvolution: His voice becomes a lot more high pitched after his first appearance.

339	* CatsAreMean: She's an unpleasant cat.
340	* CelebCrush: Cat has one on her.
341	* {{Jerkass}}: Noticing a pattern here?
342	* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Tends to play sweet love interests, but is a huge snob.

344	* PetTheDog : She declares Cat her soulmate when he reveals that he has every quality she's looking for...[[YankTheDogsChain right until Cat accidentally burns her dog.]]
345	* RichBitch: Very rich, very nasty.
346	* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: With all the hate and abuse she dishes out on Cat whenever he's around her, you'd think he would've given up on her by now.

355	* BaldOfEvil: When seen without his hat on, he is shown to be bald.
356	* BigBad: Of "Fistful of Mail".
357	* FormerlyFat: [[spoiler:As the Paperboy, he was so chubby as to be unrecognizable as a slender, sleek adult. An interesting example, as its only relevance to the plot is to reveal just why Dog didn't recognize him at first.]]
358	* {{Jerkass}}: He picked on Dog ever since he was a puppy.
359	* LizardFolk: He appears to be a very fast lizard in cowboy attire.

377	* CharacterCatchphrase: Dog got his from his and Cat's mom.
378	* DeadpanSnarker: [=CatDog=]'s dad is one, which is where Cat gets it from--seeing and hearing their father make the same sarcastic remark as him is what ultimately leads Cat to accept that these two are indeed his and Dog's parents.
379	* GenkiGirl: Dog gets his cheerful personality and energetic demeanor from his and Cat's mom--the two bond almost instantly.
