Stimpy

Stimpson "Stimpy" J. Cat is a 3-year old (28 in cat years) fat, dim-witted, and rotund red and white-furred 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, Billy, Goofy and Ed, he may be dumb, but he presents his idiocy hilariously.
 * 2) With that said, this was also what made him somewhat 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 paired with dogs in Western Animation, especially as an reversal to the typical cat-&-dog duo, along with the intelligent if downright crazy canine friend helping out that inversion as well.
 * 3) * His comical, slapstick-prone buffoonery that is on-par with Tom and Sylvester from Looney Tunes are what also made him unique & interesting with his persona.
 * 4) In Stimpy's own Cartoon show, he was trying to make a cartoon just like his god-father in all animation "Wilbert Cobb".
 * 5) Although Stimpy was always and generally portrayed as a lazy, nonsensical, oddball, buffoonish & 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.
 * 6) 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, Stimpy also sees Ren like an true friend.
 * 7) 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.
 * 8) With that said, his childlike and good-natured demeanor is very charming.
 * 9) He is amazingly voiced by Billy West (The voice of Fry & Doug)

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be quite an EEDIOT at times.
 * 2) * 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, like Patrick Star again; he can be annoyingly clueless {reverting back to BQ#1} in some episodes like A Friend In Your Face! or episodes when he was just weirdly out of character like in "Pixie King".
 * 3) 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), a stumpy bear, a maroon-colored pig, an oversized hamster, or just some kind of Cartoon-Creature.
 * 4) He was flanderized in the Adult Party Cartoon as a stereotypically homophobic character (despite showing homosexual characteristics) who is a total doormat over Ren for no reason who acts extremely stupid, was pointless, and has no purpose to the show whatsoever, although he wasn't as atrocious as Ren's flanderization.
