3->Voiced by: Erin Mathews
4
5A 10 (later 11)-year-old boy who knows Kat is evil. He tries to stay out of trouble, but is often humiliated and injured when trying to prove Kat's true identity. He gets the blame for everything Kat ruins in the house. Coop sometimes thinks Mr. Kat plans is to take over the world, but Mr. Kat's plans are to return home or just to get food for himself. Coop may have misunderstand Mr. Kat most of the time. Coop's father thinks that Cooper is insane for thinking that Kat is an evil alien, as in the end, Kat ends up destroying every trace of evidence. Only Dennis, Coop's best friend, and later Fiona, as well, believe in him. The Burtonburger's neighbor, Old Lady Munson, hates Coop, but favors Millie, and she has a many greats-grandniece, Fiona, who Coop likes.
6
7* TheAce - [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Coop ''could'' have easily been the smartest, most popular kid in town if he didn't have Kat to worry about.
8* ButtMonkey: Thanks to Kat ruining his life and almost everyone else treating him like trash.
9* TheCassandra: Nobody (except Dennis and Fiona) ever believes him about Mr. Kat, even when trying to use photos
10* EnemyMine: Whenever a larger threat appears, such as Mr. Cheeks, Kat and Coop will work together.
11* {{Expy}}: Let's see: a kid who finds out that a certain newcomer is an alien, becomes [[ArchEnemy Arch-enemies]] with them, tries to warn people about it, but they don't believe him probably because of ignorance and obliviousness. Plus he really isn't popular in school, so uh... if he ever puts on glasses and some geeky attributes he could pass off as [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Dib Membrane.]]
12* FriendlyEnemy: To Kat. They are capable of getting along and working together for a common goal quite well. They even had a form of truce in the first Christmas special. However, these are rare occasions and they often go right back at each other's throats.
13* GenerationXerox - Coop's life is awfully similar to his dad's childhood.
14* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Dennis.
15* TheHero: He's of the LoserProtagonist variant, but is nonetheless still the hero.
16* MissingMom: His mother is not mentioned at all and no clue is mentioned on her. He may have gotten her blue eyes from her given that besides them, he otherwise heavily resembles his dad.
17* OnlySaneMan: He along his friend Dennis and later Fiona seem to be among the few well-adjusted folk in town.
18* PintSizedPowerhouse: He is very skilled at fighting for a ten year old.
19* TheScapegoat: If something goes wrong, no matter what the circumstances, people almost ''always'' blame it on Coop.
20%%* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Fiona
21* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Constantly, to his family, about Kat.
22
23[[WMG: Mr. Kat]]
24[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrkat_1035.jpg]]
25->Voiced by: Creator/KathleenBarr
26
27A space alien who looks like a hairless Sphynx cat. Kat is adopted as a stray kitten by Millie Burtonburger. Blaming Coop for being stranded on Earth, Kat hates Coop though at times he and Coop get along, in-fact whenever trouble threatens both of them they work together as revealed in "Just Me and Glue." Kat tries to get home only to be interfered with Coop. There is a possibility that he likes Millie as he has been acting affectionate with her and even sleeps in bed with her. However, his affection for Millie may be fake. For example, in the episode "One Big, Happy Family" when Millie fell for a trap Mr. Kat made, Mr. Kat tried to save her. It's unknown whether if it was because he cared about her safety or she would just mess up his plan. In "Pet Peeved" Mr. Kat got jealous when Millie ignored him, this shows that Mr. Kat truly loves Millie with all of his heart.
28
29* AlienAnimals: Kat and the rest of his race happen to look and act like Earth cats, providing the plot of the show.
30* AxeCrazy: When provoked, which usually happens anytime he's conflicting with Coop.
31* BalloonBelly:
32** Kat gets one in "Fishy Frisky Business" after he gobbles up Colossal Coupon Mart's whole supply of Fishy Frisky Bits and ballooning bigger than the store.
33* BigBadWannabe: He's the antagonist of the show, but becoming the ButtMonkey prevents him from getting close to the BigBad status.
34* BrilliantButLazy: A very intelligent being, but prefers to lounge around and do things for himself. Turns out this is a trait for his entire species; heavily smart, but too lazy to clean up after themselves, hence why they go from planet to planet.
35* ButtMonkey: He often gets his karma thanks to Coop.
36* CatsAreMean: He's a cat-like alien and the antagonist of the show so no surprise.
37* CreepyHairlessAnimal: Kat is this, which along with his [[BlackEyesOfCrazy black sclera]] and white pupils indicate he is no ordinary cat in the pilot episode. His whole race is this too, being a race of advanced cat-like aliens who desire to conquer and enslave Earth. Many characters frequently comment how ugly Kat looks, with one person even somehow mistaking him for an iguana.
38* CuteKitten: What Millie perceives Mr. Kat to be.
39* {{Deuteragonist}}: The antagonistic kind.
40* DevilInPlainSight: It's surprising how few people notice what he really is.
41* TheDogIsAnAlien: As Coop constantly tries to inform everyone.
42* EnemyMine: Whenever a larger threat appears, such as Mr. Cheeks, Kat and Coop will work together.
43* {{Expy}}: An alien who infiltrated earth, is confused by a household pet, gets adopted by a little girl who has quite a temper. While people take notice of their weird appearance like their [[BlackEyesOfCrazy black sclera]] they don’t pay mind to it. Their original name consist of a serial number, but they later get a new name after getting [[HappilyAdopted Happily Adopted]]. Are we talking about Kat or [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]]?
44* FormallyNamedPet: He is called ''Mister'' Kat by Millie.
45* FriendlyEnemy: To Cooper. They are capable of getting along and working together for a common goal quite well. They even had a form of truce in the first Christmas special. However, these are rare occasions and they often go right back at each other's throats.
46* GadgeteerGenius: He can construct lethal weapons from household objects.
47* HairTriggerTemper: At times, it seems like it takes little to set Kat off.
48* HeelFaceTurn: According to the show's creator, he became good friends with Coop after the series finale.
49* PintSizedPowerhouse: Although he's the size of a cat, his physiology and skill make him very dangerous.
50* RoboticReveal: "Nip/Duck" reveals that Kat is actually a cyborg.
51* TemporaryBulkChange: He both puts on weight as fast as he can eat, and loses it as fast as everybody wishes they could.
52* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fishy Frisky Bits. Seriously, a large number of his evil plans revolve around acquiring them.
53* VillainousGlutton: He really loves cat food.
54* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He is more than capable of destroying or enslaving the world, and has attempted to a few times. However many episodes indicate he really misses his family, and his "schemes" are just attempts to go home.
55
56[[WMG: Millie Burtonburger]]
57[[quoteright:242:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/millie_4239.png]]
58->Voiced by: Creator/KathleenBarr
59
60Coop's 8-year-old younger sister and the "owner" of Kat. She loves Kat and is oblivious to the fact that he is an alien, and sometimes, she interrupts his evil plans. She can scream so loudly that the whole town can hear her. They call her the "master manipulator". Her father does everything she says.
61
62* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She generally annoys Coop for a variety of reasons.
63* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts all sweet and innocent but is a [[ManipulativeBitch master manipulator]], especially to Coop.
64* BlindWithoutEm: Oh yes. She does not have good sight without her glasses.
65* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She is shown to have a mind that’s out there.
66* CuteButCacophonic: She is adored by many for her cuteness, but has many cringe when she whines loudly.
67* DaddysGirl: Mr. Burtonburger will often listen to Millie more than Coop.
68* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She definitely counts. While she’s shown to have most of the same traits that Phoebe has, such as playing dress-up and tea parties, but she’s also shown to be quite violent, and also likes monster trucks as much as Coop does.
69* HiddenDepths: Surprisingly loves monster trucks as much as her brother does.
70* IdiotSavant: Millie will usually turn out to be pretty skilled at whatever activity Burt tries to get her interested in - Whether it's building houses of cards or running the family store. But not at bowling, it turns out.
71* {{Jerkass}}: She's constantly torturing her older brother just for laughs.
72* MakeMeWannaShout: She can scream really, really loud to the point of breaking glass and ''causing earthquakes''.
73* ManipulativeBitch: Her profile states she is a master manipulator, and is always able to get her way, often using her deafening scream. Even [[HatesEveryoneEqually Old Lady Munson]] gets along with her.
74* MissingMom: Much like Coop, she doesn't speak of her mom. Though presumably, she got her looks from her.
75* MoralityPet: To Mr. Kat. The alien invader is explicitly shown to be very fond of her, and will even put himself in harm's way to protect her.
76* [[PetTheDog Pet The Cat]]: To Mr. Kat, all the time, even when she's oblivious to the fact that he's doing something villainous.
77* SpoiledBrat: Throws tantrums if she doesn't get what she wants.
78* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: A rather malicious take on this trope, as Millie will frequently want what Coop has....but only because she doesn't want Coop to have it. When Millie demanded the last of one box of cereal Coop was OK with it since he wanted some from another box, Millie demanded she have the last of ''that'' box instead.

85
86* AmbiguouslyGay: He has shown to have very little, if any interest, in women.
87** However, in “Kat to the Future”, he is shown to be together with PHOEBE of all people! Then again, considering this takes place in an alternate timeline, perhaps this means alternate “sexuality.”
88* ButtMonkey: While he's not a scapegoat like his friend Coop, he's no better than his friend in this department.
89* ChasteHero: Has little to no interest in romance, and reacts with terror when flirted with.

117
118* CrankyNeighbor: She's very irritable and foul-tempered to say the least.
119* FanDisservice: In Bringin' The Heat, she wears a yellow leopard mini bikini much to Burt's fear.
120* {{Jerkass}}: [[JerkassToOne Especially to the Burtonburgers.]] Subverted with Millie. This is because Coop's grandfather fell in love with another girl which makes Old Lady Munson jealous.
121* JerkassToOne: She’s a CrankyNeighbor who HatesEveryoneEqually, but she especially hates the Burtonburgers (minus Millie).
122* TheMunchausen: In "Down The Creek", when she tells plenty of fantastic stories to Millie. While Millie disregards them, the last shot is of pictures detailing this, implying Old Lady Munson was telling the truth.
123* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than She Looks]]: You'd hardly believe that was possible, but it turns out she was already a crabby old lady when ''Coop's dad'' was a kid.
124* SadistTeacher: In "Coop D'Etat" she is the mean substitute teacher who tortures everyone in the class especially to Coop.
125* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: A scary old woman who's worst of a lot, unless you're Millie when she's around.
126* UnstoppableRage: She's extremely grumpy to everyone especially to Coop and Burt.
127* VagueAge: God knows what her acutal age, but given that she was old when Coop’s own father was a boy, she has to be insanely elderly.
128* WouldHurtAChild: Has actively tried to harm Coop on various occasions. In "Bootsville's Most Wanted", she joins an insane animal protection officer who tries to run over Coop and Dennis, only realizing it's gone too far when her garden gets destroyed during the chase.

132->Voiced by: Creator/TabithaStGermain

136* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Coop.
137* AmbiguouslyBrown: Though her father seems to be Hispanic.
138* BitCharacter[=/=]RecurringCharacter
139* ClingyJealousGirl: When Fiona comes into the picture, Phoebe takes this trope up a notch. She will do various schemes to keep Fiona and Coop away from each other as much as possible, which includes smashing his birthday cake onto Fiona, trying to get her lost in a cave, and locking her in an old mill.
140* PrecociousCrush: She has a MAJOR crush on Coop.
141** But in an alternate timeline in “Kat to the Future”, she has one on Dennis instead. However, unlike with Coop’s case, Dennis and her were actually DATING!
142* StalkerWithACrush: Phoebe can be less than subtle about her crush on Coop. After Fiona's appearance, she got [[{{Yandere}} worse]].
143* {{Yandere}}: She's pretty terrifying when she wants to be, especially after Fiona's introduction.
