Trivia[]
- Fiddler's and Keys' genders are left unknown. Many believe Fiddler to be a girl and Keys a boy, but others believe otherwise. Anyway, both sides are arguably even, and decided to keep it non-exact until officially stated.
- Rick did comment on Five Weeks Of Allowance Down The Drain that "Nobody claimed Fiddler looked female [...]" on Hey, It’s That Cat Again so is possible that Fiddler is male.
- Looking back at First Things First , Rick seemingly called Keys a male by saying "Keys is here to explain but we'll ignore his words coming from his word-hole because that's easier", though he may have been joking.
- It's interesting to note that calico cats are mainly female, with males being a rare exception, further suggesting Fiddler's a female.
