* TheCynic: Definitely, though sometimes he's so perpetually unhappy that he becomes TheEeyore. The one time he's sounded happy about something is when he admits to liking the feel of the warm sun while sunbathing.

Edinburgh[[/note]].



* TheOldCountry: It's not clear where he's originally from; [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent his accent isn't conclusive]], but his name is definitely Middle-Eastern and he says he's from a place where people are imprisoned, killed and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking forced to have sex changes]] for insulting royals. Assuming he literally meant monarchs and not just politicians, that more-or-less narrows it down to the Arabian monarchies (which would make sense, since he's an [[VisualPun Arabian horse]]).

[[folder:Trixie and Captain Cuddlepuss]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trix&cuddle_1.png]]
A HappilyMarried (presumably) lady dog and tomcat who are always seen lounging around on a couch. They often debate with each other about the topic of the episode, or each other's character flaws, or both at the same time. They're not too picky.
*AnimalJingoism: Trixie seems to find the idea of writing a Christmas card for someone's pet cat patently ridiculous, [[ImStandingRightHere while Cuddlepuss is sitting right next to her.]] So he offers this gem in response:
-->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "Yeah, I can imagine a farmer sending a card to his herd."
-->'''Trixie:''' "'For the cow at Christmas!' [Laughs]"
-->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "[Under his breath] Yeah, [[StealthPun not to be confused with the wife]], or anything."
*AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: During the Pet Shop episode, when asked how much they think they're worth, we're treated to this moment:
-->'''Trixie:''' "I wouldn't put a price ticket on myself."
-->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "No... nope. Not at all."
-->'''Trixie:''' "Nope."
-->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "I wouldn't even sell you."
-->[{{Main/Beat}}]
-->'''Trixie:''' "I wouldn't sell you, either."
-->'''Cuddlepuss:''' "Aww."
-->'''Trixie:''' "Aww!"
*TheCouch: Always seen sitting on one, which is notably covered in scratch marks on Cuddlepuss' side.
*DamnedByFaintPraise: Trixie at one point says Cuddlepuss is 'not that unsavoury a person'. Cuddlepuss seems to take offence. Probably only for a second, though.
*DeadpanSnarker: Captain Cuddlepuss is probably the main snarker of the series; and he's actually Deadpan, too.
*FemaleFelineMaleMutt: A notable [[InvertedTrope inversion.]]
*IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt: In the aliens episode, Trixie claims to know what a UFO is, but when asked what it stands for, she asks what it is.
*KnowNothingKnowItAll: Trixie accuses Cuddlepuss of being one of these in "Pet Hates".
*LazyHusband: Cuddlepuss is implied to be this.
*TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Also inverted; Trixie doesn't have eyelashes and wears a spiky collar, while Cuddlepuss has a fancy-looking leopard-print collar.
*VitriolicBestBuds: They often have quiet arguments over rather petty things, LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. That part's [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since they were probably voiced by an actual married couple.

[[folder:Fluffy]]
->"The Circus is, ummm... [{{Main/Beat}}] It's a bit boring, isn't it, really..."
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fluffy_3.png]]
A very cynical, world-weary pet hamster with a droning voice and a history of both physical and mental injuries. Can be relied upon to highlight the dark sides of the episode's topic.

*ButtMonkey: He often describes unfortunate occurrences he's had in the past, including having scars on every part of his body, having his head slammed in a door on his birthday, and playing witness to a Christmas where the turkey ended up on the wall.
*TheComicallySerious: As mentioned in Trivia, is often so dull and pessimistic that he's hilarious.
*TheCynic: Definitely, though sometimes he's so perpetually unhappy that he becomes TheEeyore. The one time he's sounded happy about something is when he admits to liking the feel of the warm sun while sunbathing.
*SelfDeprecation: He admits that most people would find him boring, but if you like the kind of person who sits around and moans a lot, he'd be an excellent companion.
*StrawNihilist: The speech he gives in disbelief of evolution sounds more like a commentary on the meaningless of life than anything else.
-->'''Fluffy:''' "Well, you know, if evolution- that's- that's all a load of rubbish, isn't it, that's not true, is it? Load of rubbish... how can you possibly 'evolve' a set of wings? ...It's not gonna 'appen, is it? ...I mean, I'd like a set of wings. I'd love a set of wings, in fact. If I could have anything, I would- I'd definitely have a set of wings, but... it wouldn't matter how many times I jumped off a tall building... I'd never grow wings. And even if I jumped off a tall building, and then my child jumped off a tall building and his child jumped off a tall building and we did that for ever and ever and ever... [clears throat] ...there is not the slightest chance... that wings would grow out of my back."

[[folder:Gary and Nigel]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/garyandnigel_1.png]]
A dutiful pair of garden slugs who are never seen apart. Are probably [[TheEveryman the most 'normal']] of the recurring animals.

*BritishAccents: West Country.
*ConsummateProfessional: They admit to taking this attitude towards gardening. Though, given the animal they're animated as, this takes on [[DeadlyEuphemism a completely different meaning.]]
*ExtremeOmnivore: Nigel says he'll eat anything. Except Turkish Delight.
*MassiveNumberedSiblings: Gary apparently has seven children.
*MostAnnoyingSound: Gary takes pride in his chicken impression, but the ants surrounding them disagree enough to flee ''en masse'' the moment he starts.
*ThoseTwoGuys
*TinyGuyHugeGirl: Gary's wife, when she appears in slug form, is at least a whole eyestalk taller than him, and considerably wider too.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pickles]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pickles_8.png]]
A very cheery Guide Dog with a penchant for chasing everything in sight.

*AbhorrentAdmirer: Her caretaker seemed to consider her this; he ran away when she approached him with a Mistletoe.
*AnnoyingLaugh: As mentioned on the main page; and she laughs ''a lot'', too.
*DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A common feature of her speech. For example, she thinks [[NonIronicClown Clowns]] are talented because they're very funny, because they do things in a funny way that makes people laugh, and you have to be talented to do that, and... [[OverlyLongGag they're very funny.]]
*NotHerself: Her initial appearance in the Aliens episode creates this impression, as she talks in an unusually slow and stilted tone, and the animation gives her a noticeable eye twitch.
*ThePollyanna: Is pretty much Fluffy's polar opposite; she's all happy, all the time.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spanner and Trousers]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spanner&trousers.png]]
A pair of mangy dogs who live in a skip. They have some rather interesting habits.

*ActualPacifist: [[AllThereInTheManual According to a little booklet in Series 1 Part 1's DVD release]], Trousers doesn't believe in biting people.
*AnimalJingoism: They're not especially fond of pigeons.
*ThoseTwoGuys
*TheTramp: If the skip wasn't enough, they've claimed to have [[MasochistsMeal 'liberated' food from the bins around the backs of shops]] and slept in tunnels and under motorways (and on a motorway, on one occasion).
*WisdomFromTheGutter: When Spanner professes to always be searching for a way to evolve, Trousers responds 'one day you think you got there, the next, you get run over.'
-->'''Spanner:''' "That's it, game ovah. [{{Main/Beat}}] Y'know what I mean?"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Clement]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clement_1.png]]
An old Bloodhound with [[BornUnlucky horrible luck]] and a perpetual fear of having objects dropped on his head.

*ButtMonkey: The biggest one in the series; he's always worried about getting hurt in some way, talking about past conditions or eating food with lead in it, had his doghouse struck by lightning, [[DisproportionateRetribution and got thrown in jail for insulting the Royal Family.]]
*NostalgiaFilter: He misses the way houses were built in the 1950s, with 'one brick laid on top of the other'. [[FailedASpotCheck He says this while patting his wooden doghouse with brick-patterned wallpaper on it.]]
*ThrowTheDogABone: An uninentionally literal example; in the Pet Shop episode, he comments that he's recently been adopted by a loving family.
*TemptingFate: In "Animals In The 'Hood", he says that he's here [in his Doghouse] permanently due to its sturdy construction. In TheStinger, it's shown that it was struck by lightning and obliterated while he was still in it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Victor]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/victor.png]]
A very loud and emotional Mouse with a [[TheUnintelligible comically thick]] [[BritishAccents Geordie accent.]]

*BoisterousBruiser: Comes off as one of these. Apparently gives his son a 'little punch' as a sign of affection, and says he has to be 'rough and ready'.
*CasanovaWannabe: Subverted; he used to flirt with women all the time, but knew he might not have much success, as he always kept his fingers crossed.
*CloudCuckoolander: Victor's animation has him interact with small children's dolls in a doll's house as if they were real people. Though he does look visibly perturbed when he accidentally knocks one of their heads off.
*FateWorseThanDeath: His son apparently considered having his father's Geordie accent worse than having diabetes.
-->'''Victor:''' "So I try an' cheer 'im up; I say 'y'know was, I swap yer any time y'like, I'll 'ave your Diabetes, an' you can 'ave my Geordie accent.' An' y'know what 'e says, 'e says 'No, I'd rather be Diabetic than 'ave a Geordie accent!' An' I say 'Wha- y'jerkin, arn'yeh?'"
*MouseWorld: Played with; in some of his appearances, he's seen living in a doll's house. He remarks he never thought he'd live in a place this 'up-market'.
*PatrioticFervor: Hearing 'Rule Britannia' gets him all riled up, and 'makes [him] wanna bash somebody'.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Funky Stallion]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/funkystallion.png]]
A Horse from outta town who's very mobile in the job market. [[NoNameGiven Is not given a name]], unlike most of the recurring animals.

*BerserkButton: Drunkards. Also, people who do Creator/RobertDeNiro's 'YouTalkinToMe' routine.
-->'''Funky Stallion:''' "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to- SHUT UP! D'you know, [[DeadHorseTrope that's SO overdone, it's unbelievable!]]"
*TheCoconutEffect: Parodied; during TheStinger for "Impressions", he seems to be making the stereotypical 'clop clop' sound with his hooves, only to reveal he has coconut shells strapped to them.
*CoolHorse: A literal example. He is a horse, and he is, all things considered, pretty cool.
*TheDandy: He gives fashion advice to ''the Royal Family'', of all people, suggesting that they wear layered shirts with [[FunTShirt fun slogans]] on them.
*DungFu: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]; he suggests tricking drunkards into stepping in excreta on the streets to [[AppleOfDiscord turn them against each other.]]
*HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Not the Funky Stallion himself, but he suggests this is the case with Queen Elizabeth II's husband. He thinks his name is The Husband Of The Queen[[note]]For reference, he's actually Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh[[/note]].
*JiveTurkey: Subverted; he has the mannerisms and the interests, but he doesn't use much slang.
*ObliquelyObfuscatedOccupation: He's most often seen as a racehorse, but in "Pet Hates" he was with the police, and in "Monarchy Business" he was ferrying around a Beefeater in front of Buckingham Palace.
*WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's obviously not British. He sounds vaguely European, though he says he's from a country where people are imprisoned, killed and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking forced to have sex changes]] for insulting royals. Assuming he literally meant monarchs and not just politicians, that more-or-less narrows it down to the Arabian monarchies (which would make him an [[FridgeBrilliance Arabian horse]]).
