History Characters / HeathcliffAndTheCatillacCats

* LastSecondWordSwap: From the episode "Cleo Moves In": Riff Raff is setting his place up for Cleo and mumbles to himself: "It would be nice having her here. I wouldn't have to go chasing her down for...[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar intelligent]] conversation".

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: She pulled this off a lot.

* BuffoonishTomcat: Rather downplayed and somewhat averted since Riff has some intelligence, his buffoonish moments usually come from how inept he can be and how much of [[StrawLoser a loser]] he is.

* [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy JealousGuy]] : Hitting on Sonja in front of Heathcliff is never a good idea, 'cuz the offender usually ends up [[BigBallOfViolence in a body cast]] in short order. The more clever ones will play on Sonja's sympathies so she'll protect them from him... but Heathcliff still finds ways to make them regret it.

* DudeMagnet: Several episodes show that even Leeroy can be flustered by her with little more than a wink, and Hector can be caught making eyes at her on occasion.

%%* MilesGloriosus

* TheSmartGuy: It's repeatedly shown that he's the leader ''and'' the brains of the Cadillac Cats, as Hector and the others can barely get anything done without him.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Seen whenever Heathcliff starts tsking her for granted and, if she even ''thinks'' he's two-timing her, she won't hesitate to show him that two can play that game.

* ProperLady: In contrast to Riff-Raff's girlfriend, [[GirlNextDoor Cleo]], Sonja is all about proper etiquette in courtship and expects Heathcliff to act accordingly. She'll quickly point out if he's being improper ahd explain how a true gentleman treats a lady, which often causes Heathcliff to snarkly remind her that he's no gentleman.

* InvincibleHero: Heathcliff pretty much goes undefeated throughout the series. The only loss he suffers is to Tammy and even then that's because he refuses to fight her [[WouldntHitAGirl on account of her being a girl]]. The only cats who could up a prolonged fight against Heathcliff were the Siamese Twins and even then it was basically a two-on-one catfight.
