Appearance/Personality
Beans Cat is a cat with black fur and green overalls. He has a girlfriend named Little Kitty and is friends with her, Oliver Owl (with some rivalry), Ham & Ex (though they get into trouble), Bosko, Buddy and Porky Pig. Beans was the first star after Bosko and Buddy but people wanted Porky to be the lead man instead. Beans then began appearing with characters from the cast of I Haven't Got a Hat, most frequently Porky Pig. However, after a number of Porky and Beans outings, it became clear that the character audiences were talking about was Beans's stuttering sidekick, Porky Pig, rather than Beans himself. Overall, he had a great success for himself beforehand which was good.
