History WesternAnimation / EekTheCat

* ThemeTuneCameo: Happens every time Eek gets an AmusingInjury.

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Pam and Polly from episode "Quadrapedia" look almost identical except for different hair color and outfit choice (Pam sports black hair and red leotard, while Polly has brown hair and black dress). This may have caused some trouble for the animators because in some scenes, Polly's animation cels briefly get swapped by Pam's (but still maintaining Polly's colors) between frames.

* AmazonianBeauty / AmazonChaser: Sharky has a passionate, unrequited love for Platinum, a muscular, gorgeous female American Gladiator-type on TV.

** Averted for all the segments in the show proper: Unlike ''Garfield & Friends'', Eek and the Thunderlizards only encountered each other during the intro for ''Eek! Stravaganza'', and never actually crossed-over into each other's segments; ''Klutter'' didn't last long enough for them to even be part of the main intro, instead getting its' own.

%%* AmazonianBeauty: Platinum

* WidgetSeries: And how! You've got: a series about a stupidly optimistic yet accident prone cat who gets caught up in all manner of fantastical scenarios; a series about three incompetent dinosaurs trying engage in genocide of humanity; and a series about a group of average teens getting into weird situations with their best friend, an mass of clothing and other bits and bobs brought to life by static electricity.

* ElvisHasLeftThePlanet / ElvisLives: One episode involving alien abduction featured a brief shot of Elvis amongst the specimens. Another one speculates that he had a shrink-ray-related accident some years ago.

* EpunymousTitle

* {{Golem}}: Klutter, a living pile of clothes and mess that featured in its own segment during the last season of the show.

* {{Golem}}: Klutter, a living pile of clothes and mess that featured in it's own segment during the last season of the show.

* FatCat: Eek is notably portly, and his less than brilliant mental abilities means he's also technically a FatIdiot... but he ''pales'' in comparison to the monstrously overweight Annabelle.

** Alice from ''Fatal Eektraction'' is a [[PettingZooPeople furry version]] of Glenn Close's character Alex from [[Film/FatalAttraction Fatal Attraction]]. Complete with her sole episode referencing scenes from the movie (like Alex's iconic line "I'm not going to be IGNORED, Dan!" and her killing then boiling a girl's pet rabbit).

* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: Eek is a FunnyAnimal when he's with his owners, but a PettingZooPerson all the rest of the time.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Ryan Heap from "Klutter" (though sometimes he was mistakenly colored blonde).

%%* TheAhnold: '''Doc Tari''' of The Terrible Thunderlizards.

%%* AmusingInjuries

%%* BlackBeadEyes: Some human characters, especially JB.
%%* ButtMonkey: Eek himself.
%%** Sharky in the later episodes
%%** And Bill in the TTL segments.
%%* CaptainErsatz: The [[Franchise/CareBears Squishy Bears]].

%%* DeadpanSnarker: Bill.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Sasha from season one. In her first scene, she proudly proclaims that she has a heart of ice and proceeds to pop some poor kid's balloon. When she meets Eek, his kidness (and [[InterspeciesRomance apparent sex appeal]]) manage to melt that so-called icy heart.

* {{Expy}}: Eek looks ridiculously similar to ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}, as some would say. The main difference between him and the pasta-loving cat is Eek is far kinder and more idealistic- and purple.
** Given that the three Terrible Thunderlizards are already [[Series/TheATeam a group of falsly accused special forces]], it's not hard to guess who Creator/MrT Rex is supposed to be, even before he starts dropping the word 'Fool' twice per sentence.

%%* FatCat / FatIdiot: Eek.
%%** Annabelle.
%%* FreudianExcuse: Sharky attempts one in "Shark Doggy Dog."

%%* GagSeries

%%* {{Gonk}}: Eek's human family, as well as some other humans.

%%* GrumpyBear: Pierre of the Squishy Bearz.
%%** Bill.

%%* HartmanHips: Andrea Heap from ''Klutter''.

* ImAHumanitarian: [[FurryConfusion Technical example]]: Annabelle is made the queen of some bizarre-looking savages on an island out in the middle of nowhere. Problem was that, "In order for the queen to become a goddess, she must be cooked and then eaten by the king."
** "I like girls."
%%* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Alice from "Fatal Eektraction."

* LogoJoke: In "The Great Eekscape", Creator/{{Nelvana}}'s polar bear logo makes a cameo on the prison's wall. And in "Eek's Sneek Peek", the Fox Kids logo is shown as the HQ for that network, while outside Nelvana's frost-covered studios, a polar bear is seen roaring similarly to their lgo- the bear then tries to eat the moose animators.
%%* LovableCoward: Eek.

%%* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Babs and Bill.
%%* {{Meganekko}}: Andrea Heap from the ''Klutter'' shorts.

%%* MoralityPet: Annabelle is this to Sharky.

%%* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: ''[[OncePerEpisode Constantly]].''
%%** Don't you mean "[[RunningGag Consistently]] and [[ButtMonkey repeatedly!]]"?

%%* OnlySaneMan:
%%** Sharky, for the most part.
%%** Pierre is this in the ShowWithinAShow, ''The Squishy Bears Rainbow of Enchantment Fun Minute''.
%%** Vanna from "Klutter".

** Scooter as well, though he isn't nearly as unlucky.

%%* SimpletonVoice: Wuz Wuz.

%%* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Eek and Annabelle.

%%* TradingBarsForStripes: The Thunderlizards.

%%* WidgetSeries

%%* WildTake

%%* DemBones: The Thugasaurs.

* ReroutedFromHeaven: An episode has Eek dying and winding up in the CelestialBureaucracy. This shouldn't have happened in the first place, because Eek hadn't used up all nine of his lives yet. Then, a damned soul asks Eek to hold his rap sheet while he "goes to the bathroom", so Eek winds up getting sent to Hell in his place. However, Eek is so optimistic that the torments of Hell don't affect him at all, and he succeeds at all the Sisyphean tasks the Devil sets for him.
