* YouAreFat: The comic, especially earlier in its lifespan, does not seem to think highly of fat people. If a character is overweight, many jokes will be made at their expense about it; The PETA worker who helped Joel is made fun of by [=K9PD=] for being too fat to outrun them, Fat Daryl is the butt of jokes like winning eating contests and being lured into Gale's trap with food, and a mini-arc depicts a squirrel growing fat after eating too many acorns and being left behind by their cohorts.

Once it's understood, transformation between forms without hang-ups becomes possible as well, and it becomes its own branch of science.

** In his first and last appearance, the mouse Karl-Lenin Faust is stomped on by Grape and tossed into her mouth, where she swallows him whole. She frequently alludes to eating animals elsewhere, but this is the first and final time it's ever shown on-screen.
** During ''The 12 Days of Housepets'', an exhausted Squeak is put in a cup of hot cocoa to warm her up. Immediately after, Dallas approaches the cup, eager for a drink, and begins to sip it back. Joey runs to stop him, and the camera cuts away before we see the result.

Interestingly, this would later end up reverted ''again'', with eyes shrinking back down to black dots over time. This means, for a few lesser seen or late arrival characters like Kix, their eye colors were only ever barely visible in a select few strips during the transition.
