In Spongebob universe snails are cats. What about bigger felines?
I've been rewatching the latest Spongebob movie for the nth time when the scene came where they try to get Gary to join their team. At that moment it struck me - in this cartoon's universe, snails represent cats.
So what animals are used to represent other, bigger felines?
I recall there is an episode which takes place in a coliseum where there is a lionfish, a big fish with lion's head, but maybe there might be other instances of big cats, I haven't seen all the episodes.
