Contents
Characters
- Felix the Cat: The main character and star of the show. He has many adventures with his secret bag of tricks that often helps in dangerous situations. (voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez and Charlie Adler)
Allies
- Rosco: (voiced by Phil Hayes) - Felix's dim-witted best friend.
- Candy Kitty: (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - Rosco's sister and Felix's love interest.
- Sheba Beboporeba: (voiced by Cree Summer) - A friend of Felix the Cat.
- Shamus T. Goldcrow: (voiced by Tony Pope) - An anthropomorphic crow.
- Skiddoo the Mouse: (voiced by Susan Silo) - One of Felix the Cat's friends.
- Bermuda Triangle: (voiced by Frank Welker) - He is an anthropomorphic version of the location of the same name. He wreaks havoc because of his stupidity. He caused all sorts of chaos in New York City until he fell in love with Times Square. The two ended up getting married.
- Nastasshia Slinky: (voiced by Jane Singer) - An actress who Felix is obsessed with.
- Poindexter: He is the nerdy young nephew of the Professor and is Felix's other best friend. He is depicted as a stereotypical scientist; he is very intelligent and always wears thick Coke-bottle glasses, a lab coat, and a mortarboard. A button on the chest of his lab coat acts as a control for whatever device the plot calls for. Despite the Professor being his uncle, he is also one of Felix's best friends. Whenever he talks to Felix, he refers to him as "Mr. Felix". (voiced by Cam Clarke)
Villains
- Peking Duck: (voiced by Tony Jay) - An antagonist.
- Moo Shoo: (voiced by Kevin Schon) - Peking Duck's henchman.
- One-Ton: (voiced by Jim Cummings) - Peking Duck's henchman.
- The Sludge King:
- Fufu Gauche: (voiced by Brad Garrett) - A disgraced fashion designer who tries to get revenge on the city by replacing everyone's clothes with his tacky fish costumes.
- Oscar: (voiced by Jeffrey Tambor) - A minor villain whose sole appearance was in the episode "Phoney Phelix", serving as one of the most pathetic foes Felix has ever faced. A wanna-be cartoon star who met failure at every step of the way, Oscar sought to climb his way to stardom by hijacking Felix's own cartoon, despite being a painfully obvious impersonator.
- Fuzzy Bunny: (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - A cutesy toy rabbit who manages to replace Felix's own show and become a nationwide sensation, thanks to how cute he is. In truth however, he is actually a gruesome thug in a rabbit suit.
- Froggy: (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - Fuzzy Bunny's henchman.
- Fuzzyman: (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - Fuzzy Bunny's henchman.
- Bet a Billion Bill: - A smooth-talking and arrogant hotshot gambler.
- Captain Herman: (voiced by Tom Kenny)
- Mad Doctor: He is a parody of the Professor from the 1958-61 Felix the Cat series. (voiced by Patrick Fraley)
- Leadfanny: He is a parody of Rock Bottom from the 1958-61 Felix the Cat series. He is a stereotypically gay dog whose voice is an imitation of actor Harvey Fierstein. Leadfanny is Mad Doctor's assistant. (voiced by Billy West)
