Pickles is a 5-year-old female cat owned by Francis Pope. She and Spitsy, a dog living in the same neighborhood owned by Donald Eustis, used to be engaged, despite the fact that they are different animals. Now it is unknown what their status is. Pickles is an outdoor cat, and she likes to lie down on random driveways. She is in love with Spitsy, much to Nate's dismay. She flings herself at Nate when he says something bad about her. Her and Nate dislike each other greatly.
