* BackstoryInvader: [[spoiler:In Season 5, the episode "The Iceman Melteth" suddenly features a new orphan, Li'l Pequena, who appears in five episodes before "Remember Me Not" reveals she's a fairy who can implant FakeMemories, and an agent (or, as it turns out in the season finale, mind-controlled slave) of the Blind King. Dulcinea grows suspicious when she realises Toby's pictures don't include her, and we see her altering Puss's memories so that she was the first person he met in San Lorenzo, and Dulcinea's so that she'd been popping up all through the series insisting they were best friends. And when that doesn't work, she alters everyone's memories to believe ''Dulcinea'' is a monster from the Netherworld...]]

** Cleevil, the little Goblin girl whose name even rhymes with evil. She is actually a very sweet kid even when tricked into evil by The Dutchess. Same goes with the Black Cats, who have learned to turn their bad luck into a gift.

* NeverSayDie: {{Averted}}, Puss manages to scare off a large group of thieves by telling them he may not be able to defeat them all, but he will kill one of them, then daring them to come at him.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: In "Mermaid", Puss attempts to prove that he is a ladies man by rescuing a mermaid with a beautiful signing voice. However, although beautiful from behind, she turns out to be a real ButterFace, and while her singing voice is angelic, her speaking voice is an irritating screech like nails down a blackboard. And she insists on accompanying Puss everywhere. Her name (Feejee) and appearance are based on the famous 'Fiji Mermaid' hoax: the torso of a monkey stitched on to the tail of a fish.

* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the series, Puss becomes somewhat less arrogant and more inclined to think things through rather than immediately attacking. Conversely, Dulcinea becomes less naive, and even prepared to consider violence as a solution (although not her favoured one). By the last season, she and Puss have become a BattleCouple. This is why [[spoiler: they retain their memories of Puss's time in San Lorenzo even after it never happened; it made them better heroes.]]
