> DJ Catnip (When he Sings his theme song from "Cat of The Day")

**DJ Catnip** is a 31-year-old lavender cat from Gabby's Dollhouse DX, he wears a bright red glittery hoodie who has the ability to stretch out his legs and tail and use them to play several instruments, this helps him multitask. due to his stretchy legs and tail, many think he's half-octopus, but he hates it when people think that. He was actually a test subject for an elasticity elixir, but the effects wear off when he's too depressed. He was really hyperactive when he was a baby kitten. He has a big crush on MerCat. When he gets heartbroken, he becomes a wild beast that destroys everything in his path till his heart is fixed. His catchphrases are "*Wiggly-Wiggly-Wig!*" (When doing his trademark wiggly paw-bump), "*Hey, cats and kittens*" (When addressing others, mainly used to address Gabby and Pandy) and "*Messy Melodies!*" (When he sees a big mess). His name is derived from a DJ (A person who plays discs), and "Catnip" a type of plant. (Although, as revealed on the classic show episode "Kitty Cat Cam", the "DJ" part of his name stands for "Daniel James")

In the DX series, he gets new catchphrases, which are music related one like "*Oh, quavers*" and "*Topsy-turvy Tubas*", and "*When the Music in you is Unstoppable, Anything is Possible!*" (this last one is based on his song). In musical episodes (such as Melodia Sleepover: The Musical), he gets the catchphrase "*I think I feel a song coming on*" as one of the two catchphrase he says to start songs (the other being "*it goes a little something like this*") . Starting from season 4 of the DX series, he and MerCat are dating. In season 4 of the DX series, he gained the vocal tic of coming up with (usually lame or unfunny) music puns. In The Radio Problems, when he feels a really strong emotion, his fur changes color depending on that emotion. (For example; Whenever he's sad, his fur turns halfway blue, when he's depressed, his fur turn fully blue, when he's annoyed, his fur turns halfway red, when he's mad, his fur turns fully red but not so saturated, when he's furious, his fur turns a bright red, and when he's relaxed or happy, his color turns back into its classic purple). His claws only come out when he's mad. His song gets a reprise in Season 3, Episode 6 of the classic series, "*DJ Catnip Gets His Groove Back*". His family is his sister Utako, his brother Hiroshi, his sister Kaede, his parents King Eita and Queen Kanade, and the DJ cousins. He has a pet rabbit named Groovy.

Later in the series, his LED visor is upgraded with the ability to proyect his thoughts and other interactive holographic pictures.
