Female Feline, Male Mutt: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

It seems whenever cats and dogs are paired together, the dog will almost always be male while the cat will almost always be female. The cat will be sassy, intelligent, but occasionally [[Cats Are Mean|cruel]]. The [[Dogs Are Dumb|dog]] will be [[Men Are Uncultured|crude]] but [[Dumb Is Good|kind]].

* ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' plays this straight with an extra dose of [[Furry Confusion]]. Arthur, a male aardvark has a male dog named Pal. Francine, a female ape, has a male cat named Nemo.

* Kitty Katswell and Dudley Puppy from ''[[Tuff Puppy]]'' follow this trope.

* In ''[[Doug]]'', Doug's dog Porkchop is male, and Roger's cat Stinky is [[Your Tomcat Is Pregnant|revealed]] to be female.

* In the cartoon series ''[[Krypto the Superdog (animation)|Krypto the Superdog]]'', a boy named Kevin is the owner of Krypto while one of his neighbors, a girl named Andrea, is the owner of Streaky (aka Supercat).

* Another inversion: ''[[Blue's Clues]]''. Blue, Green Puppy and Magenta are female dogs and Periwinkle is a male cat.

** In fact you can argue that Saliva is around to mostly contrast to Mandy's personality, and Milkshakes is only around to be tormented. Until they both get forgotten in later seasons.

* Inverted: Martha from ''[[Martha Speaks]]'' is a female dog owned by Helen, and Nelson is a male cat owned by Rodger.
