** Paula wears a whole bunch of accessories, including a hat, scarf, gloves, and some shoes, but never any proper clothes.
** Paula's outfit goes to HalfDressedCartoonAnimal territory.
* '''Downplayed''': Paula wears a collar and/or identification tag, two accessories that RealLife animals are very prone to wearing.

* '''Averted''': ???
* '''Enforced''':
** The character designers couldn't imagine what Paula would look like in proper clothing (for instance, her tail would get in the way of pants), but felt that making her a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal wouldn't look right either.
