[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8163148/1/Cats-Gangs-and-Leaders Cats, Gangs and Leaders]] is a TopCat fanfiction by Samasim.
A horrible murder results in Top Cat’s gang losing a member, and Officer Dibble learns soon enough just how seriously Top Cat takes his role as leader. The story takes on a much DarkerAndEdgier tone than the 1960’s TV show.
Unfortunately this story is currently unfinished, but the tropes on this page will be updated, should it ever be completed.

!!This fic provides examples of:
*AFatherToHisMen: Top Cat was implied to be this in the original show. Here it’s the entire crux of the story.
*AscendedExtra: Spook, who in the show was one of the lesser focused on members of the gang, is this story’s deuterogamist.
*BadBoss: Gold Pelt, in stark contrast to [[AFatherToHisMen Top Cat]]. He takes sadistic pleasure out of torturing other cats, even if they work for him.
*BerserkButton: For Top Cat, hurting any member of his gang. Particularly Benny, as evidenced by the story Officer Mahoney tells Dibble in chapter 8. [[spoiler:In short, a young Mahoney was left with a broken nose.]]
** For the gang, seeing Top Cat hurt. [[spoiler:In chapter 6, Spook goes absolutely feral when Gold Pelt back hands Top Cat, and becomes more and more enraged the more Gold Pelt tortures his leader.]]
*** Choo Choo also comes close to attacking someone when he finds out she (albeit unwillingly) had a hand in getting Top Cat hurt.
** For Gold Pelt, it’s the vulgar nickname Top Cat calls him by.
*BigBad: The mysterious Gold Pelt, or G.P., leader of a far more dangerous gang of alley cats.
** TheDragon: Monster, Gold Pelt’s right paw cat and muscle.
** TheBrute: Saber, whose much more feral than Monster, and is [[I’mAHumanitarian even implied to be a cannibal]].
** TheDarkChick: Agent S, one of Gold Pelt’s female spies who poses as Fancy’s girlfriend Shirley. [[spoiler:Subverted, as she turns out to be a Reverse mole.]]
*BreakTheCutie: Spook and Choo Choo
*BreakTheHaughty: Top Cat
*ByTheBookCop: Officer Dibble. His biggest struggle in the story is wrestling between sternly sticking to his cop duties, and wanting to reach out and help this rag tag bunch of cats he’s grown to care about.
*{{Cliffhanger}}: The story leaves off on one, since it’s currently unfinished.
*ColdBloodedTorture: Poor Choo Choo is subject to this when he tries to join Gold Pelt’s gang to get to Spook. [[spoiler:He has most of his claws ripped out in the process.]]
*ContinuityNod: Some minor characters from the show make appearances, like Officer Mahoney, Dibble’s Italian cousin Tony and the hulking nurse from episode 7.
*CreepyMonotone: Gold Pelt’s default mode.
** Fancy Fancy goes into this at the end of chapter 7. Though it’s not an angry example, but more of an indicator for how emotionally dead he’s become due to the events that have transpired around him.
*DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the original, far more light hearted show.
*DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Spook crosses it when Gold Pelt seemingly murders Top Cat in front of him.]]
*DivingSave: [[spoiler:Spook for Top Cat when the latter has a knife thrown at him.]]
*Don’tYouDarePityMe: Top Cat towards Dibble.
*EarAche: [[spoiler:Spook has one of his ears grazed by a thrown knife, and the other shot off by a bullet.]]
*{{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:Choo Choo has most of his claws painfully ripped out.]]
*TheHeart: Benny. He’s the one who comforts Top Cat the most throughout the story, and even goes against Top Cat’s wishes and asks Officer Dibble for help out of worry.
*HighOnCatnip: Top Cat apparently turns to sniffing catnip when he’s stressed.
*KnifeNut: Gold Pelt is one.
*MoodWhiplash: In the midst of chapter 5, Top Cat gets roped into babysitting a couple of puppies, one of them being a MouthyKid who he partakes in SnarkToSnarkCombat with. The chapter ends with T.C. being taken at gunpoint to Gold Pelt, [[FromBadToWorse and things go further down hill from there]].
*MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:How Top Cat sees his inability to shoot Gold Pelt when he had the chance. He couldn’t bring himself to take someone’s life, and it resulted in Spook losing an ear when pushing T.C. out of the way of a thrown knife.]]
*NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Choo Choo really should have known better than to approach someone named ''Monster''.
*ObfuscatingStupidity: Spook tries this on Gold Pelt and his gang, but they see right through it.
*PetTheDog: Top Cat regards the two puppies he’s roped into looking after with much disdain, but he still wraps his tail protectively around them when they sleep and hides them when danger approaches.
*PoliceAreUseless: Top Cat thinks so, at least. Which is why he won’t let Dibble or any other cop help him and his boys. He doesn’t trust that one of the cops won’t shoot Spook, who has temporarily joined up with a more dangerous gang.
*PrecisionFStrike: The normally mellow Spook snaps and unleashes a tirade of curses towards Gold Pelt once finally pushed to the edge. Gold Pelt and his gang hang a lampshade on it in amusement.
*PuppyDogEyes: Benny reveals to Dibble that he’s a master at this, and that it works on Top Cat every time.
*RebelliousRebel: Spook
*SeriousBusiness: Claws to the cats. Dibble is a little perplexed as to why Top Cat and his gang are so horrified [[spoiler:at Choo Choo losing his claws]], and assumes it must be an alley cat thing.
*SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:Happens to Top Cat in chapter 6. Fortunately he survives.]]
*StepfordSnarker: Top Cat masks his unhappiness under several layers of snark.
*StrongFamilyResemblance: Maybe. [[spoiler:It’s implied that Top Cat and Gold Pelt look very similar and share some sort of past.]]
*ThouShaltNotKill: Dibble strongly believes so, and is horrified and angered when he thinks Top Cat may have resorted to this. [[spoiler:He didn’t.]]
*TermsOfEndangerment: Gold Pelt to both Top Cat and Spook.
*TooDumbToLive: Benny. Both Top Cat and Dibble note that if it weren’t for them looking out for him, Benny probably would have been offed years ago. Though it’s more due to Benny’s naivety than dumbness.
** Choo Choo falls prey to this too, and unfortunately neither Top Cat nor Dibble is around at the time to save him. See ColdBloodedTorture above.
*UndercoverCopReveal: [[spoiler:Agent S/Shirley, Gold Pelt’s spy, turns out to actually be working for the police.]]
*UndyingLoyalty: All of Top Cat’s gang to their leader. Even Spook, who’s joined up with another gang, still remains loyal to Top Cat, risking his life for him twice.
*[[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood You Could have Used Your Powers for Evil]]: Gold Pelt to Top Cat in chapter 6, regarding Top Cat’s swindling skills.
*YouKilledMyFather: The story opens with Spook’s parents having been murdered by a gangster, prompting the usually most laid back member Top Cat’s gang to become obsessed with seeking revenge.
