** Building an organization around one person is ''not'' a sustainable business model. A charismatic leader can inspire loyalty while they're around, but what will hold the organization together when that leader is gone?

** Tracy confirms that cats are basically just stand-ins for humans, and that as far as non-feline pets and animals, everything is the same as it would be normally. She also says that there won't be as much emphasis on this in the comics (other than the aforementioned pig farmers) so not to add ''another'' layer of absurdity to the series. In fact, when a fan asked for the cast's breeds, she only answered with "Cat". The closest would be Mordecai being a tuxedo cat as a pun on his attire. There's also speculation that Viktor is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_cat Siberian]] because of his huge size.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Tracy herself. As evidenced by her 08/23/2010 journal entry on her deviantArt page, Tracy has recently 'unofficially adopted' her neighbor's cat Luca after she found the poor creature barely alive with several serious facial injuries and a myriad of infections. She took Luca to the vet to have him humanely euthanized, but then found it in her heart (and wallet) to pay for his many many surgeries, antibiotic treatments, and pain medication. The result: Luca is now living happily with Tracy as a sort of bizarre IRL counterpart to Viktor, as Luca lost an eye to infection and is generally chewed up body wise.
