This is war!



Hector Cat (generally referred to simply as Mr. Cat, and known as Mr Chat in the French dub) is the deuteragonist as well as the main antagonist of Kaeloo.

Appearance[]

Mr. Cat is an orange cat with brown stripes on some parts of his body. He has red eyes. Like a real cat, he has whiskers and sharp canine teeth, and retractable claws, which are black when they're out. He wears a pair of dark purple fingerless gloves, like Stumpy's.

In "Si on jouait au mécano quantique", Mr. Cat appears in the form of a human. His human form is Caucasian with red hair. He wears an unzipped orange jacket with brown stripes, similar to how his cat form has orange fur with brown stripes. Under the jacket, he wears a red shirt with a picture of a psychopathic smiling cat on it. He wears the same fingerless gloves as his cat form. He also wears loose-fitting khaki pants with a black belt, and dark brown boots.

Personality[]

Aptly described by Kaeloo as "evil, sadistic, cruel, hypocritical, egoistic, and psychopathic" (and taking it as a compliment), he always wants to win, whatever the means and is even willing to cheat to do so. He especially enjoys torturing Quack-Quack, which upsets Kaeloo and is the usual cause of her transformation into Bad Kaeloo.

Mr. Cat has proven to be incredibly selfish and manipulative. He will do anything to get what he wants, even if it means hurting other people. His manipulative schemes include Quack-Quack into breaking up with Eugly as part of an elaborate plan to get Kaeloo to kiss him on Valentine's Day, and threatening to commit suicide if his friends didn't buy him an expensive spa package.

Now for duckface

Mr. Cat is generally a cynical and pessimistic person and always sees the worst in everything. He is also prone to feeling anxious about small problems, though he attempts to hide it. In "Si on jouait avant... que ça arrive", he predicts that whatever thing is coming will be some sort of horrible disaster and tries to downplay the possibility that it could be a good thing. In "Si on jouait à la rédaction", Kaeloo reads out her essay on her dreams for the future, which is a generic essay about wanting world peace. When Mr. Cat notices that Kaeloo never mentioned him by name in the essay, he ignores the fact that she didn't mention anyone by name in her essay and chooses to believe instead that it's a subtle declaration that Kaeloo doesn't want him in her ideal future world and starts expressing his hurt that she wouldn't want him anymore.

Mr. Cat is a sensitive person deep down, but he tries to avoid outwardly expressing emotions such as fear and sadness, despite Kaeloo's encouragement. In episodes such as "Let's Play Bye-Bye Yoghurt" and "Si on jouait avec vitamine", when he finds himself faced with emotional situations, he attempts to withdraw from the situation because he handles his emotions poorly. In "Si on jouait avec Poucave ?" it is revealed that Mr. Cat enjoys watching emotional K-dramas and cries over them when he is alone.

When faced with situations that require a lot of effort or may be upsetting, Mr. Cat has the tendency to withdraw. In "Si on jouait à la malédiction du pharaon", he opts to stay out of the trip to Egypt that the rest of the gang go on because it feels like a lot of effort.

Mr. Cat is also shown to be afraid of change and craves stability. In "Si on jouait à avoir de nouveaux zamis", he worries that if the sheep are allowed to join him and his friends in their games, they will change the dynamic of the group. This is also used as a major plot point in some episodes of season 5, with "Si on jouait à chat perdu" and "Si on jouait à vous avez changé" showing that Mr. Cat is worried by the character development exhibited by both himself and the other characters. However, towards the end of "Si on jouait à vous avez changé", his friends help him to see that change is not always a bad thing.

The series' pilot shows that he has a crush on Kaeloo, as well as several other episodes; this crush is reciprocated, though it is not clear if either one of them is aware of the mutual nature of their feelings.

Mr. Cat strongly believes in the idea of "being yourself" and is generally apathetic towards other people's opinion of him. The sole exception to this rule is Kaeloo; episodes like "Let's Play Tea Party" and "Si on jouait à la porte" suggest that he is willing to go to extreme lengths to make sure that her view of him is not tarnished in any way.

Despite his mature and adult-like personality, Mr. Cat has often exhibited childlike behavior; he owns a favorite stuffed toy, the missiles in his bazookas have crayon faces drawn on them, and he still believes in fairies.

Mr. Cat can be nice sometimes, and he cares about his friends Kaeloo, Stumpy and Quack-Quack deep down. If somebody else (such as Olaf or Pretty) messes with his friends, he will attempt to defend them and may even try to do something horrible to the aggressor to avenge them. In "Si on jouait à hallo hello ola" he was extremely guilty when he realized that his actions had probably let down his fans, showing that he also cares about the viewers. He claims to hate having to play games with the others, but he has confessed to the audience that he hates it when the others have fun without him. In the rare event that the others start playing without him, he is utterly infuriated and calls them out for leaving him out.

In the show's fifth season, Mr. Cat realizes that over the course of the series he has started to become a nicer person, which worries him. In "Si on jouait à chat perdu", he explains to Quack-Quack that since he was a child, he was always left to fend for himself and needed to be tough to survive, which made him develop the belief that nice people get "stepped on".

Abilities[]

Mr. Cat is very skilled at many things, though not to the same extent as Quack-Quack. He is very smart, as he invented a cloning machine in "Let's Play Detectives", a ratings collecting device in "Let's Play TV News!", and is stated to have several other inventions, and is knowledgeable of some of the more complex scientific principles. He is also able to emotionally manipulate the others to some extent. As seen in "Si on jouait à la petite entreprise" and"Si on jouait à faire des économies", he is very good at managing finances. He is also a skilled athlete as shown in "Let's Play Scaredy Cat", where he fought several hordes of zombies by himself, or in "Let's Play the Quest for the Wholly Gruel" where he manages to dodge several falling meteorites and pull Kaeloo out of the path of the meteorites as well while running.

Mr

He is very sneaky and can go from place to place without anyone noticing, even without using a cat flap.

He has numerous cat flaps placed around Smileyland, which can serve to teleport to other places (and thus be used to cheat at games) and serve as a habitat as well.

He also has the ability to create numerous clones of himself. It is unknown whether this is because he owns a cloning machine or not.

Being a cat, Mr. Cat also possesses certain unique abilities such as seeing in the dark and predicting the weather.

History[]

Mr. Cat was originally from a big city. As a young kitten, he was abused by his family members. Not much is known about his family other than the fact that his father was an alcoholic gangster, his mother yelled at him, and he had two older brothers who would bully him. When he was old enough he ran away from home, to Smileyland, where he expected peace and quiet, but instead got Kaeloo, Stumpy and Quack-Quack. "Let's Play Bye-Bye Yoghurt" implies that at least one person he knew died when he was younger.

In season 5, Mr. Cat's relationship with his mother is explored, revealing that she traumatized him as a child. While her exact actions, and the extent of them, are unknown, the mere idea of a phone call with him makes him scream and run away from the phone in terror. In "Si on jouait aux maîtres des jeux - partie 2", he temporarily moves back in with her because The Rules' actions were making Smileyland unlivable, but when Kaeloo came to ask him to move back to Smileyland in "Si on jouait aux maîtres des jeux - partie 3", he immediately packed a bag and begged Kaeloo to take him "far away from his mother".

As a younger child, he attended school with Kaeloo, Stumpy and Quack-Quack; it is unknown if they still go to the same school in the present day. At the time, everyone used to call him "M. Chaton" (Mr. Kitten).

It is stated in "Si on jouait à Carotte & Co." that he had at some point in his life been addicted to carrots before he gave them up (however, he is still addicted to smoking and alcohol).

It is hinted in the episode "Let's Play Goodbye Mr. Cat" that he was the last one of the main four to get to Smileyland, seeing as he knew the least about the planet's rules. It was also hinted at that he is the oldest of the buddies. Mr. Cat is older than Stumpy, who is 10, which means that he is at least 11. It has, however, been confirmed that Kaeloo and Mr. Cat are definitely older than Stumpy and Quack-Quack.

Despite, or perhaps because of, Kaeloo's transformations into Bad Kaeloo, Mr. Cat seems to have formed a crush on her. There are hints of this in several episodes, and the feeling is mutual. In "Si on jouait à la fin du monde", Mr. Cat says that he had a crush on her from the day they first met.

In "Let's Play Baby-Sitting", it is mentioned that he was, as a baby, tied up in a sack and thrown into a river and subsequently rescued by a salmon who raised him as her own son; however, in "Si on jouait avec Poucave ?" we find out that this is a false backstory that Mr. Cat invented to stop Kaeloo from finding out the truth about his family.

In "Let's Play Circuses", it is revealed that Mr. Cat used to work in a zoo in Rome, Italy. This detail is exclusive to the English dub.

Role in the show[]

Mr. Cat is the show's primary antagonist, and he sadistically tortures everybody, especially Quack-Quack. He is normally the one responsible for Kaeloo's transformations. Several episodes of the show prove that he is in love with Kaeloo and enjoys seeing her transform, which may be his reason for provoking her all the time. In a few episodes, such as "Si on jouait à Noël Givré", he is one of the heroes instead of a villain. In episodes such as "Let's Play Cops 'n' Robbers", Mr. Cat is blamed for crimes he had nothing to do with because everyone believes he would be the most likely to do things like that. When the main four are stuck in a difficult situation that they need to get out of, Mr. Cat is often the one who takes charge and leads them in coming up with a solution.

Mr. Cat is one of the main reasons the show has one of the things it is known for, its ability to get mature content under the radar.
