* '''Logical Extreme''': Carl Cat is crushed by an anvil, and his body unfolds like an accordion, but instead of returning to normal, he continues to stretch and expand indefinitely.



* '''Justified''': ???

to:

* '''Justified''': ???Carl Cat is an anthropomorphic cartoon character, and the laws of physics and anatomy don't apply to him. Therefore, when he is crushed by an anvil, his body naturally contorts into accordion-like shapes.



* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???

to:

* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???Throughout the story, Carl Cat is crushed by various objects, and sometimes his body unfolds like an accordion, while other times he remains unharmed.



* '''Enforced''': ???

to:

* '''Enforced''': ???The creators of the show specifically wanted to include a scene where Carl Cat gets squashed and turns into an accordion because they thought it would be visually interesting and humorous.



* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???

to:

* '''Defied''': ???
Carl Cat, aware of the trope where characters get squashed and turn into accordions, takes precautions to avoid any situation that could lead to such an outcome. He actively avoids being near falling objects or takes evasive action to prevent any potential crushing incidents. He may even comment on how he's not going to be a victim of that cliché.
* '''Discussed''': ???
While watching a cartoon featuring Carl Cat, a character remarks, "I always find it funny when characters get squashed and end up looking like accordions. It's such a classic trope."
* '''Conversed''': ???In an unrelated conversation, two characters start discussing the trope of characters getting squashed and turning into accordions, even though it has no relevance to the current situation.



* '''Implied''': In a scene, the camera cuts away just as an anvil falls on Carl Cat, and in the next shot, he is seen walking away with his body slightly accordion-like, implying that he was squashed.
* '''Unparodied''': The trope of characters turning into accordions when crushed is played straight without any comedic exaggeration or mockery.
* '''Untwisted''': It is initially set up that Carl Cat will be squashed and turn into an accordion, but at the last moment, he narrowly avoids the falling object and remains unharmed, defying the audience's expectations.
* '''Deconstructed''': When Carl Cat is squashed by an anvil and his body unfolds like an accordion, it is shown that he experiences extreme pain and discomfort, highlighting the physical consequences and potential harm of such accidents.
* '''Reconstructed''': Despite the deconstruction, later in the story, Carl Cat uses his accordion-like body shape to his advantage, squeezing through tight spaces or using it as a makeshift instrument, demonstrating the usefulness of his unique condition.
