Choo-Choo, also known as Chooch, is a character in Top Cat.
About Choo-Choo[]
Choo-Choo is a pink cat with a cream-colored muzzle and two strands of fur directed downwards on each cheek. His face is bow-shaped, with the direction of the bow being up. He has a long, bushy tail, the tip of which is either white or black, depending on the material. Chooch is also the same height as Top Cat. He wears a white long-sleeve turtleneck sweater and has angular eyes akin to that of a Siamese cat.
Choo-Choo is a flamboyant, sensitive cat with a thick Brooklyn accent. He is a caring individual and, unlike Fancy-Fancy, tends to be rather anxious and insecure when it comes to potential mates. In "Choo-Choo's Romance", he becomes nervous upon flirting with Goldie and asks Top Cat for help. In "Choo-Choo Goes Ga-Ga", Chooch apparently attempts to commit suicide due to having no hope of dating Lola Glamour.
Choo-Choo is enthusiastic and devoted to Top Cat, even when he's clueless about his motives. In "The $1,000,000 Derby", Chooch suggests the gang, after having left him alone for days since the derby race, to check up on him, stating that they "can't abandon him like this".
Despite his personality, Choo-Choo has impressive strength, especially for a cat. In "Sergeant Top Cat", Top Cat tells him to pull a boxing move on him, which Chooch does so, knocking him far into a trash can and giving him a headache. In "Farewell, Mr. Dibble", Choo-Choo pushes the lieutenant's car quite well by himself. In "Choo-Choo Goes Ga-Ga", he's able to hold a sizeable rock with ease.
