In the episode 'Moving Out', the Cockroaches were initially ecstatic upon finding out that Oggy had moved out, passing it off as a joke. As a result, the trio grew so bored they decided to build a robotic clone of the feline which would act exactly like him. In 'Copy Cat' and 'Oggy Robot,' Oggy became so depressed that he did nothing but sit on the couch as if he was rooted to the spot. (Though, to be fair, there are some instances in which Oggy has wronged the Cockroaches without motive e.g., ' Don't Barge In!'.)ĭespite their almost entirely negative history with Oggy, the Cockroaches secretly need him in their lives. There are even instances in which the trio has sought mischief on Oggy simply for irritating them, rather it was intentional or not. In addition, they can be quite mischievous. Then again, more often than not, the trio aims to ruin Oggy's life in some new troublesome way they practically live to make him feel annoyed. In fact, they were so desperate for something to eat in ' Oggy's Invention' that they were seen eating part of a wall and a wooden shelf. Sometimes, they seek to steal comestibles (particularly from a certain blue cat), but this is not out of malice in these cases, they are just hungry and need to eat. The Cockroaches' goals vary from episode to episode. The Cockroaches are even stated to find Oggy's house 'much too clean for their tastes.' They also seem cognizant of the fact that they are in a cartoon they sometimes look directly at the viewer(s). On a lesser note, they are shown to be incredibly slovenly as they are prone to making messes.

However, they do care about him because without Oggy, the roaches will feel lonely. The trio likes to play impractical jokes on Oggy.

It should be safe to say their favorite target is Oggy (who they also have a peculiar relationship with). They have even taken vehicles for joyrides, like a dump truck, train, firetruck, and planes ('Rock 'n Roll Altitude', 'Panic in the Air', and 'First Flight'), and sometimes they have pretty ambitious plans such as stealing a pile of bills from a mint or kidnap a mermaid for cash, especially Joey. The cockroaches love stirring up trouble everywhere they go. Some good epitome of these nasty mixtures are The Patient and Now You See Me, Now You Don't!įor a more in depth description of each Cockroach, see: Joey, Marky and Dee Dee's pages. At times, the trio mix nasty mixtures in food such as sweat of a sock, chilli juice, garlics, vinegar and also underwear.

Together, their main characteristics are to steal food or some things from Oggy. Dee Dee's characteristic is to eat all the time while Marky is a charmer and Joey is the planner in the cockroach trio.
