This film contains examples of:
- Free-Range Children: Bart and Veronica can go to the house whenever they want, and no one questions them taking a cab 50 miles away.
- Henpecked Husband: Mr. Rigsby. If not for his wife pushing him around, he wouldn't have contested the will and the movie wouldn't have a plot.
- Never My Fault: Mrs. Rigsby forced her husband to contest his uncle's will and later blamed him for losing the money he'd have inherited if the will remained uncontested.
- On One Condition: Mr. Kohlmeyer's nephew would have inherited twenty-five thousand dollars if he hadn't contested the will.
- Passed-Over Inheritance: Mr. Kohlmeyer chose his cat over his nephew.
- Pet Heir: Leo.
- Really 700 Years Old: Leo the cat is "much older" than a normal cat.
- Secret-Keeper: The few characters who knew Leo was a talking cat.
- Self-Made Man: Oscar Kohlmeyer was merely the owner of a roadside diner until some land developers decided to buy it. They granted his request to let him keep all rights over minerals found on the land. They found oil.
- Worst News Judgment Ever: Leo the cat manages to make the cover of Time, People and other publications.
