8!!Bucky Katt
9%%* AntiHero: Type IV, bordering on Type V.
10* BigEater: Though not to Satchel's extent.
11* BoisterousWeakling: The only fight he's really "won" is against a very elderly cat who fell asleep while gumming him.
12%%* CasanovaWannabe
13* CatsAreMean: Frequently abuses Satchel and Rob physically and verbally for no real reason at all, with his moments of kindness being few and far between. Several strips have noted that he was much more meek as a kitten.
14%%* CloudCuckoolander
15* DelusionsOfEloquence: For example, he thinks "disinfect" means something like "bother".
16* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[http://www.gocomics.com/getfuzzy/2002/01/14 Seems to abhor violence towards baby seals.]]
17-->'''Rob:''' I'm waiting for you to say something offensive.\
18'''Bucky:''' Oh come on! Even I say we bonk ol' ''Svein'' on the head.
19* HiddenDepths: He's surprisingly good with machines, as demonstrated when he [[spoiler:found and fixed Satchel's watch after it got broken by a bicycle courier. He even managed to make it run again, which it had stopped doing even before the accident]].
20%%* JerkAss
21* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has his moments.
22* InformedSpecies: He doesn't look much like a cat.
23* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Has a tendency to use words without knowing the definition, once describing himself as "highly intergalactic."
24-->'''Rob''': Now I know that's not what you ''meant'', but it is, in fact, a true statement.
25%%* LargeHam
26%%* SmugSnake
27%%* SmallNameBigEgo
28* StrawmanPolitical: He expresses far-right views, despite having little to no idea what he's talking about half the time, just to irritate his left-leaning owner, Rob.
29* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tuna. He's even made smoothies out of it.
30* UsedToBeASweetKid: Rob found him alone and scared in the trash as a kitten. There was a time where he was too afraid to even leave Satchel's side.
31-->'''Rob''': He used to be so cute... What the [[PrecisionFStrike !@$#]] Happened?\
32'''Satchel''' We may have been enablers...
33
34!!Satchel Pooch
35[[quoteright:277:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/satchil.png]]
36* BerserkButton: Calling his friends Eurotrash.
37%%* BigEater:
38* BewareTheNiceOnes: On the rare occasions he's lost his temper it's terrifying.
39* CampStraight: He likes a lot of frilly, "feminine" things.
40* CharacterDevelopment: He started out pretty much taking all of Bucky's abuse with barely a complaint but as time's gone on he's noticabley snarkier towards him and will actually stand up to Bucky.
41* {{Crouching Moron Hidden Badass}}
42* DeadpanSnarker: Seems to be growing into one of these towards Bucky.
43* DogsAreDumb: Definitely the dumbest inhabitant of Rob's apartment, though not by much.
44* ExtremeOmnivore: Although he prefers to put cheese-whiz on garbage so that it'll taste better.
45* LargeHam: Not quite as much as Bucky, but he's quite capable of stealing the strip when excited or panicked.
46%%* NiceGuy
47* TheNicknamer: Nicknames all of the objects in the house.
48* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese.
49* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: With Oreo.
50* WellDoneSonGuy: His dad isn't remotely happy that his son turned out to be a house pet.
51
52!!Rob Wilco
53* BerserkButton: Don't say "Bucky Dent" around him, or mention the New York Yankees in general.
54%%* ButtMonkey: Slightly.
55%%* DeadpanSnarker
56* ImportantHaircut: Bucky accidentally putting some hair remover in his shampoo (Bucky meant it for himself) caused Rob to go bald for a while before growing his hair back shorter, soon after which he stopped wearing his OpaqueNerdGlasses.
57* NoRespectGuy: His pets don't even believe that he's the one who stocks the "magic cabinet" with food.
58* OnlySaneMan: Rob's the one stuck dealing with all of Bucky and Satchel's idiosyncrasies.
59* OpaqueNerdGlasses: Early on in the strip's run. Later it's stated that he switched to contacts, but his glasses still show up from time to time.
60%%* StraightMan
61%%* TokenHuman
62%%* UnluckyEverydude
63* VirtuousVegetarianism: Despite [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness eating meat products towards the beginning of the comic's run]], Rob is a vegetarian on moral grounds. He has explained on more than one occasion that he doesn't eat meat because he finds the way animals are treated and butchered into food products to be too cruel. However, Rob's "virtue" mostly just serves to contrast with that of his cat Bucky, who wants to increase his meat intake just to spite Rob.
64* YouNeedToGetLaid: What Francis seems to think.
65
66!!Fungo Squiggly
67[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/farrot.JPG]]
68* SilentSnarker: Never says a word, letting his expressions and the occasional sign do the talking for him.
69* SitcomArchNemesis: Towards Bucky. It started with Fungo glaring at a cowering Bucky during their first meeting, and they've had this relationship ever since.
70* TalkingWithSigns: During those times he needs to communicate with words.
71* WickedWeasel: Subverted. He's neutral towards Rob and a good friend of Satchel, and only fights Bucky in retaliation.
72
73!!Chubby Huggs
74* BadassPacifist: He manages to stop a fight between Bucky and Fungo with a massive bear hug.
75* CatsAreMean: Averted. One of the few in the strip that does so, to the point where he's actually one of the friendliest members of the cast.
76* GentleGiant: From the perspectives of Bucky and Fungo when he wants to hug them, anyway.
77* StoutStrength: If he gives you a hug, ''you are very definitely getting a hug''. He does 200 Hug-Ups and Buddy Crunches a day.
78
79!!Mac Manc McManx
80%%* AlliterativeName
81%%* ButtMonkey: He was beaten by his girlfriend and mistaken for a terrorist, [[TheWoobie so yeah.]]
82%%* DropInCharacter
83%%* FunnyForeigner
84* MistakenForTerrorist: Which got him in serious trouble at an airport.
85* TheSlacker: Considering just how long he's been secretly squatting in Rob's apartment...
86* TheUnintelligible: At first, he was almost completely this trope, speaking in some sort of odd mish-mash of several British dialects. Later on, he became more understandable.
87
88!!Buttercup
89* BadassBoast: Threatens to turn Bucky into Tender Vittles.
90* BigEater: Gets 9 orders of pork from a take-out place. Justified as Rob's Mom had her on a vegetarian diet.
91* VegetarianCarnivore: Invoked by Rob's Mom, though Buttercup isn't the least bit happy about it.
92
93!!Foodar
94* AttentionDeficitOohShiny Whenever even the ''slightest'' whiff of food is in the air, whatever conversation or activity he was doing beforehand gets put on hold until he finds it.
95** '''Satchel''' "Is he coming back?"
96** '''Bucky''' "Usually depends on what he finds."
97%%* TheNoseKnows
98
99!!Lego
100* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:Thinks he's this because he often hears "Get the *bleep* off the counter!".
101
102!!Quentin Tabbytino
103* TheMockbuster: His filmography seems to be filled with cheap knockoffs of Tarantino movies.
104* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: For Creator/QuentinTarantino.
105
106!!Stank Lloyd Wrong
107* BerserkButton: Don't tell him the Sears Tower is larger than the Petrona's Towers. It won't end well for you.
108* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His name is a parody of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
109
110!!Whitey
111%%* AffablyEvil
112%%* LoanShark
113%%* TheMafia: Cat version.
114* ThreatBackfire: Twice. His attempt to blackmail Rob into paying Bucky's debt ended with Rob threatening to call animal control and the second with him threatening to kill Rob and Satchel only for Bucky to not care and actually encourage him.
115
116!!Joe Domain
117* PutOnABus: Hasn't appeared lately.
118
119!!Francis Wilco
120%%* DeadpanSnarker
121%%* RetiredBadass
122%%* SourSupporter
123
124!!Mrs.Wilco
125* ShadowArchetype: To Rob. While Rob is a vegetarian, he dosen't force it on his pets, while Mrs. Wilco forces Buttercup to become a vegetarian.
126%%* StepfordSmiler
127
128!!Roger Wilco
129%%* DeadpanSnarker: It runs in the family.
130%%* PunnyName
131
132!!William Wilco
133
134!!Copernicus Pooch:
135* {{Foil}}: To Satchel. A cold domineering {{Jerkass}} with a HairTriggerTemper in contrast to his friendly affable son with saintlike patience.
136* HairTriggerTemper: He cannot manage his anger well. At all.
137* {{Jerkass}}: His reaction to meeting his son for the first time in years is to berate him for being a housepet and say he's done nothing.
138
139!!Mrs.Pooch
140* GenerationXerox: It's clear where her son got it from, as evidenced by her only onscreen actions being sticking up for Satchel and then giving him a big hug.
141
142!!Oreo
143* ObliviousToLove: Has no idea Satchel has a crush on her.
144

155
156!!Crieten Salad
157%%* FunnyForeigner
158
159!!Shakespug
160* LargeHam: The vast bulk of his speech consists of Shakespeare quotations, hence his name. It's rare when he ''doesn't'' respond to someone this way.
161
162!!Filthy Frazier
163%%* TheBrute
164* HiddenHeartOfGold: Ends up hugging Rob when he realizes he has to live with Bucky every day.
