Natalie is a minor character in Housepets!. She made her first appearance in A Holiday at the Zoo.
She is a member of the Wolf Pack and lives at Wolf House.
Physical Appearance[]
Natalie is a wolf with light brown fur over most of her body (although it has become gray more recently) and reddish-brown fur on the inside of her ears, muzzle, belly, and underside of tail. She has light blue eyes. She isn't particularly tall for a wolf, but that still makes her taller than most pets. She appeared to be a teenager like Poncho when first introduced, but over the course of the comic she seems to have matured into a young adult.
When she once worked as security for the Milton Ferrets, she wore a green vest. In more recent years she's been seen wearing a black jacket, and on one occasion, red studded bracelets. She also wears a golden ID tag around her neck when she's in public so she isn't mistaken for a feral wolf.
Personality[]
Natalie has an incredibly apathetic and cynical personality, mostly keeping to herself and not caring for others' problems. Her style, which resembles stereotypical punk or rock fashion, also adds to her uncaring, "cool" attitude. She is shown angrily looking at Cousin Rodney and Snow cuddling and is bothered at King and Bailey's wedding, so it's possible she doesn't like traditional romance. This is evidenced by how she treats her own love interests, calling them "secret loves".
When Satau, her most recent crush, was sent back to his own time, she had Mungo dress up as him in the Christmas special 12 Days of Housepets!.
Natalie's snark is first shown in Wolf's Clothing where she's tasked to guide and witness Bino's assignment to scare away a charging bear. To all Bino's concerns she repeats with bored scorn: "I don't care". She's often seen either filing her claws or reading the most recent issue of Wolf Magazine. She also works at a call center where she vents at the customers.
General information[]
Originally a feral wolf, Natalie is now legally owned by Keene Milton as part of the Equal Chance Program along with the rest of the wolves in the Pack so that they can participate in human society. This allows her to live in Babylon Gardens as well as work at a call center.
To the right is one possible version of the Wolf Pack family tree (click to zoom in). Red lines indicate uncertain relationships. One of the great mysteries surrounding Natalie is her relationship to the rest of the Wolf Pack, but it's speculated that she might be Rodney's niece and Uncle Deadeye's granddaughter (see "Uncle Deadeye and Rodney in Relationships section). In Call o' th' Wild it was also revealed that Natalie's mother was killed in a car accident.
Trivia[]
- Natalie has experience working as a warden and bouncer, and apparently also "hitting with stick".
- Even though Natalie has made several appearances since her debut in 2011, she didn't have any dialogue until Yawning Mouth in 2015.
