He was deemed not to be an example in the movie. The short example might qualify, but as written was a Partial context example that didn't explain how he was mean, only why, as well as seeming to argue with itself.


* CatsAreMean:
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}''. While not mean, he does become very impatient around dinner time while Geppetto is worrying about Pinocchio. He tells Cleo and Figaro to not eat until he gets back. When he leaves, Figaro decides to start eating until Cleo reminds him they can't eat until their owner arrives. Figaro remembers this and once again tries to eat but then turns frustrated and folds both his arms with an angry expression.
** He sure looked that way in ''Figaro and Frankie'', but to be fair, Frankie's singing irritated Figaro. But in the end, he saves Frankie.

* AscendedExtra: To a lesser extent than Jiminy Cricket in ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}''. He is based off an unnamed cat that Geppetto had in the book, which was mentioned when Pinocchio lost his feet. In the film, he has a name and a larger role in several scenes, although, unlike Jiminy Cricket, he's still a secondary character.

* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The tall, slim cat Lucifer ([[Disney/{{Cinderella}} not the one you're probably thinking of]]), who is the leader of the alley cats, mimics this trope to make fun of Figaro for wearing a bow.

screwy Squirrel is being merged into The Prankster per TRS.


* ScrewySquirrel: Figaro acts as this at times around Pluto. The latter's own occasional {{Jerkass}} traits can lead to an EscalatingWar, however.

Disney cats minus the kittens from "WesternAnimation/ThreeOrphanKittens", and ''the'' earliest from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon itself.
* DumbBlonde: There is a Gideon {{Expy}}, a yellow-furred tomcat example Of of this trope in "Bath Day." Of the alley cats in that cartoon, he is the one slowest and last to wink.



* GoodAngelBadAngel: Yes, even Figaro has his version at least in the [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mR_WJ_oJQI0 "Figaro & Frankie" short]]. Unlike Pluto or Donald, Figaro has a male angel while the bad angel isn't present. Possibly because the bad angel is already controlling Figaro's mind and thoughts.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Figaro tried to catch Frankie because The latter’s singing irritated the former. But in the end, he saves Frankie from Butch the BullyBulldog. Also, Figaro is this way to Cleo the goldfish and is portrayed this way in ''WesternAnimation/MickeyAndTheRoadsterRacers''.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** In ''Pinocchio'': Spoiled and temperamental, but affectionate towards Geppetto and can also be nice.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: In ''Pinocchio'''s original book, Geppetto did have a cat, but it didn't have a name.



* ShoutOut: Appropriately for an Italian cat, he's named after a famous [[Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville opera]] [[Theatre/TheMarriageOfFigaro character]].
* SilentSnarker: While he isn't silent, he does express emotions around Pinocchio, Cleo and Geppetto.
* SingleTear: Figaro cries a single tear twice in ''Pinocchio'': the first time occurs while he, Cleo, and Geppetto are trapped inside the whale while starving to death, and the second time occurs during [[spoiler:Pinocchio's DisneyDeath]].

* FurryConfusion: When he's WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse's pet kitten. Also, if he and Gideon ever appeared together. Speaking of Gideon, there is a cat in "Bath Day" who looks a lot like Gideon down to his facial features, but has yellow fur, is wearing nothing, and is barely less anthropomorphic.
