Line 2:
A line of plushies created by Hallmark and Fisher-Price in [[The Eighties|the 80s]], the Purr-tenders were a bunch of brightly colored cats wearing little masks and a ''very'' odd [[Backstory]]. At the Pick-A-Dilly Pet Shop, all the customers want to buy unusual, 'exotic' pets... 'exotic' pets like birds, bunnies, mice and ''dogs''. But nobody ''ever'' wants to buy a cat, and the kitty pens are getting rather crowded...
So some of the kitties hatch a cunning plan: they make masks and ear-bands out of felt and [[Paper
...However... when they feel happy and content, they start purring. So ''that'' exposes them, while the flimsy disguises apparently hold up otherwise. Thankfully, the kids who learn their secret have already fallen in love with their new pets, so they let them keep lying and pretending to be other animals [[Family
The Purr-tenders were:
Line 25:
* [[Cats Are Mean]] - [[Subverted]], save for Flop-purr's temper.
* [[Cute Kitten|Everything's Cuter With Kittens]]
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]] - Hop-purr
** [[The Lancer]] - Flop-purr, who wanted/thought of himself as the leader.
Line 35:
* [[For the Evulz]] - Ed-grr's only motivation for trying to catch the Purr-tenders and drag them back to Pick-A-Dilly.
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]
* [[Paper
* [[Pounds Are Animal Prisons|Pick-A-Dilly Is Kitty Prison]] - Going back to the shop was treated like [[A Fate Worse Than Death]], despite how the owner seemed nice enough, and presumably took care of all the animals' needs, including the cats.
* [[Punny Name]] - ''Every'' name is a pun. From the line itself to the names of the kitties -- Scamp-purr, Hop-purr, Flop-purr -- and their nasty dog nemesis, Ed-grr. Latecomer Teddy-purr was the [[Odd Name Out]].
