Chico

**Chico** (formerly **Prince Shankman**) is a chubby Tabby cat who is a character on *HouseBroken*.

He is voiced by Sam Richardson.

## Appearance

Chico is a fat Tabby cat whose fur is primarily orange, with patches of white on his belly and paws. He also wears a blue collar with a yellow tag. In Season 1 the inside of his ears were orange-ish red but changed to pink in Season 2.

## Personality

Chico is seen as very clingy, especially to his owner, Kevin, to the extent that whenever he leaves, Chico stress-eats until Kevin returns.

Chico gave birth to a litter of eight kittens in "Who's A Good Therapist?", but presumably identifies as male, as he is referred to using he/him pronouns, and attended Shel's bachelor party in "Who's Getting Cold Feet?".

## Skills/Habits

Chico eats a lot.

When Chico is deprived of food, he goes beast mode, getting bigger and growing out of his collar. This was demonstrated when he and The Gray One show up at Tabitha’s house, mistakenly believing she was inviting them over for Trashmas. Chico gets so angered over potentially missing out on his first Trashmas, that he doubles in size and becomes very hostile. He is later returned to his normal state after eating and having a Trashmas with The Gray One, explaining that his “ham to blood” ratio was restored.

## Relationships

### Kevin

Kevin is Chico's owner, to whom he is very attached and gets very upset when he is gone for long periods of time.

### The Gray One

The friendship between Chico and The Gray One is expanded upon in season 2. The Gray One invites Chico over for his first Trashmas and later helps him when Chico gets fleas (and ticks).

### Tabitha

In "Who's Afraid of Boomsday?", Tabitha joins Chico and The Gray One in fending off the seagulls hoarding the half-eaten crab cakes in the dumpster of a seafood restaurant near the beach.

Tabitha appears to be attracted to Chico in Who's Having a Merry Trashmas? mentioning "you're scare-rousing me"

### Chief

Chief comforted Chico while they were both at the vet.

## Trivia

* He was possibly inspired by Garfield.
* In “Who's A Good Therapist?", it is revealed that Chico is a transgender man , who was not only fat, but also pregnant, and gave birth to eight kittens. He is still referred to as male after he gives birth, which leads to the conclusion that he is transmasc.
	+ These kittens were later given up for adoption by Kevin in "Who's Getting Cold Feet?", wherein it was also revealed that Chico was impregnated by a random cat who occasionally visits Kevin's Apartment.
* Chico pretends that the blue hoodie on his apartment's couch is Kevin when he is out of town.
* His owner leaves sports games on for Chico to watch such as "yellow-ball" (tennis) and "loud crashy-ball" (bowling).
* Because of his weight gain from overeating, his body develops urinary bladder rocks which proves to be too much for him to handle.
* He came up with the name "The Grayitha One" as a ship name for The Gray One and Tabitha.
* In Who's A Bad Girl? (Part 2) , it is revealed that Kevin's ex-girlfriend is Chico's original owner.
