List of Tip's Nursery characters

This article is about the characters that appear in the television series, Tip's Nursery and the Tip the Cat film series.

Tip the Cat

 * Main article: Tip the Cat

The main protagonist of the series, Tip the Cat is a black cat. Tip spends his days helping his owner, Mr. Colonies, look after the children who attend the nursery. Along with this, Tip has a social life with the other animals within the nursery's radius, and is noticeably the only one who is somewhat intelligent. Although he is only a cat, and thus cannot talk, Tip is good at understanding human activity, especially compared to the other animals on the show.

Tip's gender appears to be unknown on the show, with most of the characters referring to Tip with generic he pronouns. Mr. Colonies claims in one episode that Tip is indeed a male, but Tip does not seem to approve of this. The U.S. dub switches back and forth between male and female pronouns (as the U.S. dub was adapted by two different writers).

Mr. Colonies
Mr. Declin Colonies (voiced by Elver Bárðursson) is Tip's owner. Mr. Colonies is also the owner of a nursery for children who do not attend school, where he is usually depicted as a kind, but also occasionally clumsy, babysitter to the youngsters.

Caroline
Caroline (voiced by Nanita Freshers) is the oldest of the nursery's attendances, and is treated as the most mature because of this, though because of her carefree nature, she lets, and even encourages, the others to get up to mischief.

Danica
Danica (voiced by Heather Laces) is considered one of the "babies" due to being the youngest nursery attendant alongside Zeke. She is very mischievous, and does whatever it takes to get her own way.

Fly
Fly (voiced by Ray Fortwhile) is the quietest one of the group. Due to his relaxed nature, he often goes ahead with whatever the group decide on, regardless of what it is.

Haze
Haze (voiced by Den Fortwhile) is by far the most hyperactive of the children, and has difficulty keeping still due to this. According to Caroline, he is the fastest and most fit out of everybody who attends the nursery. Despite being fit and energetic, he is afraid of heights, and doesn’t like the dark.

Kitonika
Kitonika is generally seen as the imaginative and adventurous one of the children, who has an unrealistic idea of most things in life. Her confidence often causes her to end up in trouble, though she will follow rules and cares for her friends. Despite this, Tip often falls victim of when she gets a bit too excited.

Marcine
Marcine is a usually depressed, but also serious, attendee to the nursery. Since she isn’t keen on most of the activities the group get up to, she often sits down on a chair, either playing with Tip or making sure the others aren’t getting up to mischief. She has a tendency to call the others off for their immaturity, but cares a lot for Fly, Nathan and Zeke.

Nathan
Nathan (voiced by Den Fortwhile) is often referred to as the "girly" one of the group, as he is seen playing with "girl" toys frequently, despite being male.

Sammy
Unlike the rest of the nursery's attendees, Sammy is American. She is known for her loud behaviour, her extreme ego, and her large amount of throwaway catchphrases. She is also the only one of the children who refers to Mr. Colonies as his first name (Declin).

Behaviour studies on Kuboian citizens done by the United Nations have blamed Sammy's personality for influencing racism against Americans and Brits in Kuboia.

In the U.S. dub, Sammy is British. The Italian dub has her Albanian whilst the German dub has her Bavarian.

Tay
Tay (voiced by Chan Navies) is the clumsiest of the children. Since he isn’t very intelligent, he gets himself in silly situations a lot. He dislikes animals, and because of this, isn’t very keen on Tip.

Zeke
Zeke (voiced by Ray Fortwhile) is considered one of the "babies" due to being the youngest nursery attendant alongside Danica. He is not very independent due to his mother's nature, and is very easy to take advantage of because of this.
