Probably the closest thing to a nemesis that Heathcliff has, Spike, a bulldog, is no-where near as clever as Heathcliff—all brawn and no brains. Spike is owned by a neighborhood bully called Muggsy. Heathcliff is quite able to handle both of them when necessary.

A small girl who lived in the same neighborhood as Iggy's family. Marcy always saw the best in Heathcliff and thought he was a little angel. She also loves to have Heathcliff ride in her baby doll carriage, which for the most part Heathcliff is more than happy to oblige.

Big, clumsy and not the sharpest tool in the box. He is a large cat with unique purple/blue/grey fur that wears a red sweater and a matching red cap. The name was used to show similarity between him and the character with a similar name from Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles.

Dressed in a pink hat and a red-and-black striped shirt, Knuckles and his henchman are not really Heathcliff's enemies—more like a group of cats that he constantly annoyed and/or bullied. More often than not they were after him, because he had tried to trick them in some way.

Heathcliff's love, a fluffy white Persian cat, who wears a pink collar. Heathcliff is always trying to win Sonja over, although generally she is not usually too impressed with Heathcliff's antics as she is a far classier type of cat. Sonja would often date other male cats that Heathcliff would have to fight.

Heathcliff, Heathcliff no one should terrify their neighborhood.
But Heathcliff just won't be undone playing pranks on everyone.
There's a race to be on top the competition doesn't stop.
Mixing it with the ladies man being charming debonair.
The gang will rein supreme and no one can deny.
They'll make some history and always have an alibi.
So join in the jubilee the cats are great, they'll all agree.
You'll find in each calamity the cat's superiority.
Huh, ah oh, oh ah oh, ah uh. Huh oh ah, ah oh, oh ah oh uh uh.
Heathcliff, Heathcliff no one should terrify the neighborhood.
But Heathcliff just won't be undone you should realize he can win it with you!
