Even in settings where [[Talking Animal]], [[Civilized Animal]], or [[Funny Animal]] animals exist, adoptions will still happen between parents and children. Some parents are caring enough to take in a child, regardless of their species. They may be [[Raised By Wolves|animals raising a human child]], [[Raised By Humans|humans raising an animal child]], animals raising animals of a different species, or any combonation of the three. It doesn't matter, [[Happily Adopted|as adoption is still adoption]], and [[Good Parents|parents will always be parents]]. The subject of the adoption may or may not even be an issue among society. |

According to ''GX'', however, he was instead adopted by Fable, a soldier belonging to the race that attacked Leon's homeworld twelve years ago (which led to the poor kid [[Parental Abandonment|losing his parents]] and [[Eye Scream|his left eye]], [[War Is Hell|as well as Zou becoming an economical dump]]) who [[Heel Face Turn|rebelled]] [[Defector From Decadence|when he became disgusted by their tactics]]. Leon's a bipedal cat-like alien, the Arrows are human, and Fable is another species of extraterrestrial being. |

* [[Cat Dog]] continually brought up one particular issue over the course of the series: Where did CatDog actually come from? For as long as they can remember, they'd always lived on their own.
