Official Descriptionedit | edit source
''Petey's son. He's a force for goodness and kindness, who lives with Petey during the week and Dog Man on weekends.''

Appearanceedit | edit source
Like his creator/"dad", Petey, he has vibrant orange fur (In A Tale of Two Kitties, he has darker orange fur). He has no fingers or toes. He has black stripes on his body, legs, and tail, like Petey. He has a round head, with two triangle-shaped ears, three whiskers on each side of his head and a round nose. He has three freckles/whisker spots.

He has a big forehead and his arms are more stubby than Petey's, with no visible hands. His tail is shorter than Petey's and round on the end. His head shape is similar to Super Diaper Baby's head shape.

Li'l Petey was a clone created by Petey in Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties. Petey created him to be an evil sidekick of sorts, but expected him to be fully grown. Petey left him out on the street in a box labeled "Free Kitty" and was found and adopted by Dog Man. He is an anthropomorphic orange tabby cat.

Personalityedit | edit source
Li'l Petey is very happy and silly, like his creator, Petey was when he was little. He is a kitten and as happy as his friend Dog Man. He tends to interrupt Petey frequently with silly jokes and asking him "why?" over and over.


 * Li'l Petey does not make an appearance in the series until Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties (but managed to make a cameo at the end of Dog Man: Unleashed) because he was not created until that book. In Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas, he started making knock knock jokes about feces (still being a little kitten, that is not unexpected) and in Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild, he made jokes about diarrhea.

A Tale of Two Kittiesedit | edit source
Li'l Petey's first appearance is in Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties. He is created by Petey, trying to clone himself to get a new butler, but it failed and he was the result. Li'l Petey causes trouble around the house, and is abandoned by Petey. Dog Man takes Li'l Petey in as his adopted kid. However, Petey begins to grow lonely without Li'l Petey. Petey creates a new invention called "80-HD", and brings Li'l Petey

back to the lab. Li'l Petey now loves Dog Man, and has no thought of being evil, like Petey. When Dog Man is having trouble with Flippy and the Beasty Buildings, Li'l Petey saves Dog Man with 80-HD power! Petey goes back to jail, though encouraging Li'l Petey to still do good, and be himself.

Dog Man and Cat Kidedit | edit source
In Dog Man and Cat Kid, Li'l Petey is kitty-sitted by Petey disguised as Mrs. Suspicionflame, while Dog Man runs to his job guarding Yolay Caprese (starring as Sarah Hatoff) in the new movie The Dog-Man. Li'l Petey had been fixing 80-HD (replaced his batteries with solar panels) and calling him a friend, while Petey objects that 80-HD only obeys Li'l Petey, which is true. Petey and Li'l Petey leave 80-HD at home and Petey tries to convince Li'l Petey to turn evil by breaking into the Dog Man movie studio. Dog Man causes trouble on set and is fired from the film. Petey tries to kidnap Yolay Caprese, and even murder her. Li'l Petey refuses and becomes his new identity called "Cat Kid". Cat Kid helps The Bark Knight (Dog Man) to stop Petey from killing Caprese and Petey is enraged and sends out Supa-Mecha Weenies built for the film. Dog Man and the others are outnumbered, but Sarah Hatoff and the others dress up as superheroes and defeat the weenies. Petey, enraged goes to a Cannery Grow Store and steals a can of Cannery Grow and creates Supa-Mecha Philly and attacks the city. He captures the gang, while Cat Kid runs for help. Cat Kid reprograms 80-HD to "Thou Mayest" (a previous gag in the book) but 80-HD helps anyway. Cat Kid and 80-HD run to save them, but 80-HD's power has ran out. Supa-Mecha Philly kicks 80-HD to the other side of the world, making him charge up again. 80-HD runs back to Collardale and cuts Supa-Mecha Philly in half. Petey goes back to jail while Dog Man and Li'l Petey go home with their superhero costumes, thanks to the director of the film, Sam E. Hamilton.

Lord of the Fleasedit | edit source
Li'l Petey appears in Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas when Petey takes him away from Dog Man and 80-HD while disguised like a cat doctor. He later shows up in Chapter 4: "Revenge of the Fleas!". He shows up in a poster in Chapter 5, then has no appearance until the first meanwhile. He then becomes Cat Kid in chapter 6 and, later in the book, he yells "SQUIRREL!", which gets Dog Man's attention.

Brawl of the Wildedit | edit source
Li'l Petey was seen in Cat Jail visiting Petey in chapter 2. He left the Cat Jail with 80-HD after Petey left the room all sad & stuff. Later, Li'l Petey went back to Cat Jail to help Petey out. He helped Petey finish building the RoboBee, making jokes with the punchline "Diarrhea". Petey yelled at him a bunch of times. Eventually, when Sarah Hatoff reported that Claymation Philly was attacking the burning movie theater, Li'l Petey & Petey went to save the day again. Li'l Petey & Dog Man put on their Supa Buddies costumes, transforming into Cat Kid & The Bark Knight respectively. The Bark Knight & Cat Kid jumped off the roof of the movie theater. Cat Kid sliced Claymation Philly on the leg, chopping it off. The Bark Knight caught Cat Kid. Claymation Philly was mad, & he chased the two superheroes. The Bark Knight placed Cat Kid under a bucket, making Cat Kid mad & shout at The Bark Knight, "Hey!" several times. After that, when The Bark Knight and Claymation Philly enter the cave, Cat Kid hears munching and assumes Dog Man got eaten by Claymation Philly, then he starts to cry (let's remember, he is a kid, so him crying is not out of the ordinary.). After Dog Man puts out the fire with his barf (read the book for details.), Cat Kid finally leaves the book for the rest of it. Petey goes back to Cat Jail, & Cat Kid asks if he's a misfit, too. (remember, Dog Man was called a misfit by two of his cop co-workers & the Dog Jail warden.) Petey says he is "the biggest misfit I ever met!" & Cat Kid replies, "Sweeeet!"

For Whom the Ball Rollsedit | edit source
Li'l Petey has been living with Dog Man and helping him with his problem with balls. Later, Petey arrives from getting pardoned from jail. Li'l Petey is hesitant to live with his father, but they work out a solution that Li'l Petey lives with Petey during the week, and Dog Man and 80-HD during the weekend. Li'l Petey decides to find Petey's father, only matters to get worse, and Grampa starts to break everything. While working on the Robo-Rat 2000, the Burgle Balls attack and Dog Man is too scared. Grampa tells Petey and his son to leave, but only has a vicious plan up his sleeve. Li'l Petey talks to Dog Man to "Do good" and fight the burgle balls. Then, The Bark Knight, Lightning Dude, and Cat Kid attack the burgle balls by frightening them and scaring them away to be swallowed by the Very Hangry Ratterpillar. When Dr. Scum is arrested they arrive home to find Grampa has taken everything, but Petey assures him that he has secret rooms with tons of stuff.

Fetch-22edit | edit source
Li'l Petey is living with Dog Man, and Petey is having problems with their deal. Li'l Petey makes a discovery that a chemical GR-2 in Supa Brain Dots made his friend Flippy put into jail. Dog Man is ordered to gather all the Supa Brain Dots in the city. Meanwhile, Petey is putting letters on the sign calling his secret lab Petey & Son while Li'l Petey asks if they can visit his Grampa. Petey declines, but they still did visit him. At jail, Grampa gives Li'l Petey a balloon (filled with sleeping gas), & pops it, making Petey & Li'l Petey fall asleep. Grampa dressed Petey up as himself, & made himself look like Petey. He went home with Li'l Petey, tossing him in a recycling bin along the way. Li'l Petey only woke up, walked home, and ordered Grampa around saying that what his papa does.There also includes a fair fairy That gives some tadpoles psychokinetic powers and made them evil but lil petey and flippy later come and fight them but they get caught and lil petey and molly become friends and molly lets the gang escape and they find an antidote and takes everyones powers except for molly.Then flippy adopts the tadpoles including molly.

Grime and Punishmentedit | edit source
In Grime and Punishment, he helps Dog Man after he is fired from the police force, to make his disguise called "Cat Man". When Petey picks him up, he learns more about how Petey's Mother died, and how Petey thinks hate will work. While working on a new robot, 80-HD tells them about how Munchy is terrorizing the city. Petey thinks only Hate can defeat hate, but Li'l Petey, Molly, and 80-HD decide to find out. Molly, 80-HD and Li'l Petey all think of what they love. They all agree they love to draw. Molly shows them how to draw a squid on Munchy's butt, and soon Li'l Petey and 80-HD join in. Munchy finds out and feels embarrassed that he has drawings on his butt, dropping Flippy, who calls out the frogs. All the frogs join in drawing the things that they love on Munchy. Soon Munchy is covered with drawings and runs away in embarrassment. Petey decides that "Love got lucky". Suddenly Grampa comes with the cop truck, and Li'l Petey tells Petey that it's his battle to fight. Petey is hesitant that he can do it, but Li'l Petey encourages him, and he defeats Grampa. Petey walks Li'l Petey back while Dog Man and the cops are saved by Flippy and Molly. Petey and Li'l Petey arrive home, but Petey only walks in and gets some flowers. They walk until they get to a gravestone. Petey says he hadn't been there since he was a kid. Li'l Petey asks if his Gramma is in the gravestone. Petey says that she's in his heart, and in Li'l Petey's heart. A leaf falls into Li'l Petey's hand, and he asks if his Gramma is in there. Petey replies "Well... It's your story, kid. You can color it any way you want."

Mothering Heightsedit | edit source
He is seen first where he is in a fort with 80-HD which looks small on the outside, however is REALLY BIG! He sees that Dog Man is currently wearing a cone and decides he doesn't want him wearing a cone for a few days. He then goes with 80-HD to make a NEW cone.

He is next seen where he is done with the new cone. He goes to Dog Man, while he is drinking some 'pretend tea'. Dog Man rushes out while Petey is coming. Petey said that 80-HD has to come to his building, and Lil' Petey thinks 80-HD can play. Little does he know, 80-HD was coming to fix THREE HOLES (PLUS A DOOR!)

(More coming soon)
