## Physical Appearance

Nutmeg is a light brown cat, with blue eyes. He has a short brown tail with small lines running on it.

## Personality

Nutmeg is shown to be very quirky and curious, as multiple episodes have him trying out strange new things. He can also be mischievous, as shown in episodes like "Now You See Him" and "Kooky Cookies".

## Fictional biography

Originally born as Jack Cat, Nutmeg was a gray cat who wandered the streets, stealing from shops and restaurants to survive. As a kitten, he developed a taste for fish. On one fateful day, Nutmeg stole from a seafood store and jumped onto a skateboard to escape from the store owner. Unbeknownst to him, the skateboard he went on ended up flying through two factories, each producing glue and nutmeg respectively. After flying off the skateboard and into a barrel full of nutmeg, the predicament left Nutmeg covered in nutmeg (duh), leading to his fur being changed from gray to light brown.

## Appearances

Nutmeg appears in almost every episode, mostly in speaking roles. He makes a cameo in "There Goes the Status Quo", although he doesn't speak.

## Relationships

### Rosemary

Nutmeg and Rosemary seem to be a couple, as the two are shown several times as one. In "Bridesman of Rosemary", Nutmeg is seen being shy when near Rosemary, although this is a character trait exclusive to that episode, as in other episodes, Nutmeg acts casually towards Rosemary.

### Parsley

Parsley and Nutmeg are shown as rivals, while also being occasional friends.

### Maus

Nutmeg and Maus are best friends, usually spending most of their time together. They usually tell eachother their biggest secrets and they both get into situations and get eachother out of them.

### Brighty

Brighty and Nutmeg don't usually have a significant relationship but when they do, they usually act stupid together and when situations are rough, he usually is his best man, even if his methods are unorthodox.
