Squee: Gabby does this in several episodes of Season 8. (and in the Season 4 episode "Fluffy Flufferton") Animal-Eared Headband: Gabby wears a magical one that lets her shrink down into the dollhouse. It somewhat resembles Pandy Paws's ears in design. Meaningful Name: CatRat's design features a scrawny body and long, skinny tail. He appears to live within the dollhouse's walls, getting around through various hidden holes in each room. He also has stereotypical features such as his Jerkass personality, greed, and cowardice, although these are largely downplayed in that he can also be quite decent and even nice in certain situations.

Tasty Tears: Cakey's tears are made up of sprinkles, something Pandy enjoys eating. He admits though that Cakey's "sprinkle party" sprinkles, the ones he releases when he's happy, are tastier, however. Animated Music Video: "Dance Like a Gabby Cat" has a music video that is fully animated in the web shorts' 2D animation style, with no live action like the show has. Determinator: Gabby likes to see things through and often tells her cats that they aren't done yet when they start to get discouraged. Perfectly Cromulent Word: Pillow Cat's use of the word "coodle" in place of "cuddle", which the other characters occasionally use. Tara Strong as Kitty Fairy marks her second time as a pink cat that is a hybrid with a mythical creature that has the ability of flight.

Tropes associated with Gabby's Dollhouse:

Sleepyhead: Pillow Cat, fitting her nature as part pillow and having the bedroom as her living area, is often seen asleep. Potty Emergency: DJ Catnip has a brief one in “DJ’s Glow Ride”. Thankfully, Gabby, Pandy and him are already in the bathroom when he announces this, so he just darts offscreen to do his business. Non-Standard Character Design: Most of the characters are animated with very smooth movement. However, at some point in the show, Baby Box and her family have been altered so that their animation occurs in jumps or at a slower frame rate. Given that Baby Box is an incarnation of homemade arts and crafts, this may be to imitate Stop Motion animation to fit her role. Medium Blending: Each episode starts and ends with a live-action scene in Gabby's room. When she goes into the dollhouse, the show switches to CGI. Limited Wardrobe: DJ Catnip wears his signature hoodie in pretty much every single episode (with an occassional accessory depending on the episode). But in the season 5 halloween episode, he has a different colored hoodie, and in the animation shorts, he wears different outfit, albeit hooded outfit (thus, we might never know how DJ Catnip looks like with his hood down)

In "A CAT-abulous Christmas" Figgy and the kitty elves are palette swaps of both of Fluffy's designs, with Figgy being a palette swap of Fluffy's initial "pefectionist" look, and the other kitty elves being palette swaps of Fluffy's fluffier, new "Mistake-embracing" look.Kindhearted Cat Lover: Gabby fits the bill because of how much she cares for her cat friends. Her entire room is also filled with cat decor. Roger Rabbit Effect: A few episodes have scenes taking place outside the dollhouse while characters are still active, meaning they're animated in a live action setting, often with real-life cat Floyd around. Furry Reminder: Of the "toy reminder" type. Pandy often says things which comment more on his status as a stuffed animal rather than a cat.

Rubber Man: The Dollhouse's resident music expert, Daniel James 'DJ' Catnip, has elastic legs and tail that can stretch to grab instruments or to activate his DJ console from outside his DJ booth. Gabby's Dollhouse is a DreamWorks Animation live action/animated preschool show that came out on January 5, 2021 on Netflix. It's created by Traci Paige Johnson ( Blue's Clues) and Jennifer Twomey ( Team Umizoomi).Crazy-Prepared: MerCat's spa science and Kitty Fairy's garden magic tend to cover any number of needs which people would not foresee or have a practical solution for. Since the latter is magic-based and the former behaves like alchemy, it makes sense, although they've also been seen to fail on occasion. Those items which are not cat-themed tend to be based on whichever cat owns it. This can be seen in the individual cats' paw prints. MerCat has seashell/star prints, DJ Catnip's looks like a CD player's controls, Baby Box's family all have distinctly rectangular prints, and so on. Fake Interactivity: Gabby is always talking to the audience in the live-action scenes. While in the dollhouse, the characters regularly ask the audience to help them choose the correct option or spot something in the room for them. The DreamWorks Animation logo has Gabby, in live action, pull out a cardboard cutout on a string of Pandy Paws sitting on the moon with the fishing pole. It fades into an animated version of him doing the same, as he pulls his line out of the water, now holding a starfish, as MerCat leaps out of the water.

The Netflix logo is formed by Cakey leaping up in the air and letting sprinkles fall onto a cake, while an instrumental snippet of "Sprinkle Party" plays. Potty Dance: DJ Catnip is shown with his paws grabbing the front of his hoodie and hopping up and down with his legs together while declaring he needs a bathroom break in “DJ’s Glow Ride”. A second season premiered on August 10, 2021, with the third season premiering October 19, 2021, the fourth season on February 1, 2022, and the fifth season on July 25, 2022. The sixth season premiered on November 1, 2022. Bathtub Mermaid: MerCat, having the bathroom as her domain in the dollhouse, often is in the bathtub as her main source of water. She's able to survive without water, but this is normally her introduction spot whenever she is needed. Loves Only Gold: "Shiny is mine-y." CatRat is almost immediately attracted to anything that shines and can cause or aggravate an episode's conflict by stealing something he isn't supposed to be messing with. Doesn't have to strictly be gold; he once grabbed a glitter globe of the dollhouse and was constantly shaking it in attempt to correct the figure inside, not realizing that he was mixing up pieces of the actual dollhouse every time he did so.Palette Swap: So far, this trope applies to 5 Gabby Cats: Kitty Fairy, Cakey, DJ Catnip, Fluffy Flufferton and Mer Cat. For example Jerk with a Heart of Gold: CatRat is snarky and kind of lazy, but he also looks out for his friends. In the Hood: DJ Catnip is always seen with the hood of his hoodie up, so up to date, what he looks like with his hood down remains unknown Beach Episode: One episode takes place on MerCat's beach, where the cats introduce a polar bear to beach fun.
