Oggy and the Cockroaches

***Oggy and the Cockroaches*** is a French animated children's television series. It was created in 1997 by Jean-Yves Raimbaud. The main characters are Oggy, Joey, Marky, Dee Dee (the three of which are cockroaches and Oggy being a blue cat) and Jack (who is a green cat). Season 4 onwards include the additions of Olivia (a female white cat) and Bob (a bulldog). It is slapstick comedy with comic violence.

#### The two Cats

- Oggy is a laid-back Russian Blue cat with some childlike aspects.
- Jack is Oggy's green Manx cat cousin, but he's more rough and tumble. He inaccurately has a tail, unlike real Manxes.

#### The Cockroaches

- Joey is the leader of the cockroaches. Some of his schemes may involve his want for money. He's very small. His right eye is pink, and his left eye is yellow.
- Marky is Dee Dee and Joey's brother. His eyes are pink.
- Dee Dee is the glutton of the trio. He's an opera singer. He does detective work in two separate episodes. He's hungry all the time. His eyes are green like Oggy's.

### Recurring

- Monica is Oggy's twin sister who's such a tomboy in roller skates. She's Jack's love interest, and is a Mau.
- Bob is Oggy's next-door English bulldog neighbor. He's very angry.
- Olivia is a female Turkish Van who loves nature. She doesn't mind the 3 tiny cockroaches: Dee Dee, Joey and Marky. Debuted in season 4 as Oggy's crush.
