* KavorkaMan: Suberted with Tonguç who gives this impression: He is [[FaceOfAThug not a particularly handsome man]], but he talks a big game as a StarvingArtist, and casually references classical authors and artists to brandish his own intellectual status, something that does endear him to many women in the circles he hangs out. Unfortunately, beneath it all, he is a repulsive {{Slimeball}}, and the mask tends to drop pretty quickly.

While Shero is a remorseless {{Jerkass}}, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even he seems]] torn up about [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what he did]]. For a while, he debates [[WouldHurtAChild killing the boy]] as an act of MercyKill, but finds himself unable to do so and brings him back home instead, seemingly with the intent of raising him (at least until he can find a more permanent solution). Eventually the boy is taken in by someone with ''much'' better parental instincts]].

Satire has always been popular in Turkey. Despite being published in a conservative Middle Eastern country, Turkish humor magazines enjoy a high level of tolerance, which allows Turkish comic book artists to explore violence, nudity and profanity without reserve.

First serialized in the monthly humor magazine ''L-Manyak'' ("L-Maniac") in 1996, ''Serafettin the Bad Cat'' (usually called "Shero") is a resident of Cihangir, a rather seedy neighborhood in İstanbul. Armed with a short temper, violent disposition and bulletproof eyebrows, the Bad Cat defends the weak against evil... when he's not sexually harassing female cats or overindulging in cheap wine.

He was named after the late cat of his creator, Bulent Ustun. An [[AnimatedAdaptation animated film]] depicting his exploits was released in February 2016, just titled "Bad Cat" for international release.

Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: While neither Shero, nor Tonguç are good parents, the comics show that Shero at least ''tries'' it with Tacettin. Unfortunately, Shero only knows how to be a scoundrel and what he can teach is limited to that as a result. Still, threatening Tacettin is one of the surest way to get Shero acting the part of a PapaWolf.


Added DiffLines:

* OnlySaneMan: Tacettin usually fulfils this role where his father's more outlandish schemes are concerned. Shero himself can be this trope in his element, though any sanity is quickly overshadowed by his anger and dickishness.

* CatsAreMean: Shero has anger-management issues.

to:

* BlackComedyRape: The comics are practically built on this, with Shero himself ending up on both ends over the course of the comics.
* BoomerangBigot: Shero is a bona-fide street cat in attitude and behaviour, including disdain for house cats. This is a problem, as he is a housecat himself. The threat of this getting revealed to the other street cats turns out to be one of the few things that gives him pause.
* CatsAreMean: Shero has anger-management issues. The other cats of the neighbourhood are a mixed bag, but none of them match Shero's unbridled aggression and alpha-dog complex.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: ''Extremely'' rarely, Shero will show a softer side such as [[WouldNotHurtAChild refusing to kill a baby]]...after he murdered both the parents in a fit of rage.
