Stimpy

Stimpson "Stimpy" J. Cat is a 3-year old (28 in cat years) fat, dim-witted, and rotund red and white Manx cat with a brain that's literally the size of a peanut. He has a big, blue nose, dark blue eyes which can only be seen in close ups, flat feet, no tail, human-style buttocks, and a pair of white gloves. Although he hangs out around Ren, He is sometimes seen inventing dangerous machines and can cook. His favorite song is "Happy Happy Joy Joy".

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Like Patrick Star, he may be dumb, but presents his idiocy hilariously.
 * 2) With that said, this was also what made him unique for the genre of cartoon cats as well, due to how his idiot-cat persona makes Stimpy stick out compared to many cartoon cats in Western Animation, especially as an reversal to the typical cat-&-dog duo, along with his intelligent canine friend helping out that portrayal as well.
 * 3) In Stimpy's own Cartoon show, he was trying to make a cartoon just like his god father in all animation "Wilbert Cobb".
 * 4) Although Stimpy was always and generally portrayed as in lazy, nonsensical, oddball & drooling idiot, he shows how smart he actually is compared to Ren. Especially in the "Dr. Stupid" segments or when tasked as a fire dog for example, he shows how productive he is when around Ren and how productive he is on his own. If foolishly or not, in a sense.
 * 5) Like Courage the Cowardly Dog, When Ren is sometimes cruel to him, he's always long-suffering and is never offended by his insults, harsh words and beatings.
 * 6) With that said, Stimpy also portrays how much of a great friend he is to Ren (in spite of his eediocy and his beatings from Ren), Stimpy always has an sweet side of his personality and shows how he'll do anything to cheer up his fellow canine friend like in the episode "Ren's Pecs", when Stimpy helped out Ren giving his fat cells {by surgery} to Ren for some strength since a globe like figure named Charles Globe assured Ren that he can move his fat cells to the pectoral void in order to defeat his overweight bully (because of his scrawny appearance) that antagonized and humiliates Ren in the following episode.
 * 7) He is amazingly voiced by Billy West (The voice of Fry & Doug)

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be quite an EEDIOT at times.
 * 2) Just like Ren and some minor characters, His character design is also confusing, Stimpy's appearance is also hard to tell what he even is all [even more so than Ren], to point the fact that he was supposed to be a Manx cat. But he barely looks anything like a feline, he looks like between a very fat dog (also ironic), an stumpy bear, a maroon colored pig, an oversized hamster or a just some kind of Cartoon-Creature.
 * 3) In bad episodes of Ren & Stimpy (Seasons 3 to 5 especially), while he was never flanderized entirely, but he can share some of Ren's Butt-Monkey status of suffering for no good reason in episodes like "No Pants Today" & "It's A Dog's Life". Plus in those seasons, he can be annoyingly clueless {reverting back to BQ#1} in some episodes like "A Friend In Your Face!" or was just weirdly out of character like in "Pixie King".
