Lola Caricola is a female Mexican yellow-bellied whip-poor-will, introduced in the third season of CatDog. She is a zoologist who is CatDog's next-door neighbor. She earned a love of zoology while wrangling bulls on her family's ranch. CatDog found her annoying until they saw her drive off the Greaser Dogs single-handedly (although Cat is still upset when she eats his donuts). Her catchphrase is "Unbelievable!", said in her Mexican accent whenever observing something she finds fascinating (often CatDog during private moments). Cat may also have a possible crush on Lola (other than Shriek Dubois), which may be requited. Lola cares about CatDog from the bottom of her heart and wears a hat with a red feather on it, a red dress and black boots.
