“A huge yarn ball? Sounds like the perfect job for a cat.”
―Wild


Wild (formerly known as Wild Cat) is a character in the Nick Jr. series PAW Patrol. He is a motorcycle stunt rider who joined the PAW Patrol during the Moto Pups sub-series. After going on many missions with the team, he formed the Cat Pack (of which he represents the Cheetah), a group of him and his kitten pals.

Personality[]

Wild is a confident kitty who's always willing to help out. He loves motorbikes and performing "claw-some" stunts, such as front flips, backflips, and the rather stylish "Triple-Alley-Oop Loop" (which involves three continuous backflips during a long jump). Indeed, his skills are well known, even to the pups, who all greatly anticipated his arrival. Conversely, Wild, himself was eager to meet the PAW Patrol, and even told Marshall upon their first meeting that he was a big fan of his (perhaps believing the Dalmatian's clumsy stunts were an act of their own).

To say the least, Wild's skills are graceful and smooth, and one would undoubtedly believe him to be fearless. With that said, he's been shown to have a fear of mice, though he won't let that stop him when others are in trouble. He also won't let a bad situation get the best of him, such as when he couldn't quite get a particular stunt right but continued practicing until he could. And despite his rivalry with the Ruff-Ruff Pack, he won't hesitate to help them out of the bad situations, even if it's one they put themselves in.

Wild's also very friendly to those around him. For example, when he first crossed paths with Danny, he was quite pleased to meet an upcoming stunt cyclist and even gave him the nickname "DDX" (an abbreviation of "Daring Danny X"). Wild was also happily open to participating in some of the pups' own games, such as when they played fetch together with Ryder, although he didn't quite connect with it (remarking that it "must be a pup thing"). And alongside helping the pups improve their skills on motorcycles, he even happily tried teaching them a few cat tricks, such as climbing trees. Sadly, despite his friendly and helpful demeanor, he wasn't able to win over Mayor Humdinger, who seemed rather annoyed at the thought of a feline joining the PAW Patrol.

Appearance[]

Wild has light cream fur with patches of light orange fur around his greenish blue eyes. He wears a white helmet and a red and black suit. He also has a dark orange mohawk. He has stripes on the back on his body. His pup (or cat) tag has gold edges with a gray center and a red cat paw in the middle. His helmet also has red on it. His collar is red with white stars in place of the original black stars that were originally on his collar.

Wild has a new design as of Season 8, with this new look, he has a brown Mohawk, larger eyes, a smaller nose, a modified chest, and a modified tail. His fur is also brighter in spots, not to mention it no longer blends in around his legs anymore, giving his overall design a more simpler look. His new collar is gray. His Cat Pack attire is orange with a bracelet on his left paw. He wears an orange helmet that has Cheetah spots on the sides, and has a part on it resembling a nose. His gear has spots on it as well. When his "Cheetah Speed" power is activated, his spots turn yellow. He has red visors.

Pup-Tag/Kitty-Tag[]

Wild old pup tag

Just like the PAW Patrol pups, Wild has a tag of his own. His consists of a red cat paw with a single claw on each digit and a golden border on the outer edge. The background is silver, and instead of the usual bone design found on the pups' tags, his has fish. When in use, his tag will flash and allow Wild to make calls to or with Ryder, the Lookout, and the rest of the pups.

Wild cat tag

Wild found himself with a Cat Pack tag in season 8, now in the shape of a trapezoid combined with a hexagon. The background is orange, and instead of fish, it now has black cheetah spots. It has the same paw symbol as the other Cat Pack members, though his is orange with a silver outline. When pressed, the pack on his back will release his outfit.

Equipment and Vehicles[]

Kitty Pack[]

Wild's kitty pack contains a yarn ball launcher, which releases strings of yarn. In "Moto Pups: Pups vs. the Ruff-Ruff Pack", he uses it to stop Adventure Bay's Ferris wheel from rolling out of control by making the yarn strings go around it.

His Cat Pack kitty pack in season 8 has Cheetah spots on it. Once he presses his kitty tag, his gear comes out of it and forms around his body.

Vehicles[]

Wild's standard vehicle is a gray motorcycle with red highlights that received many upgrades from his old one, including super speed boosters, gripper claws and a yarn ball launcher. In its season 7 debut, it was revealed that Ryder and Robo-Dog made these modifications after his bike was damaged by the Ruff-Ruff Pack. His vehicle was given the number "21".

In season 8's "Cat Pack: Rubble and Wild and a Yarn Ball!", Wild has a gold and dark brown cheetah-themed motorcycle. While it has some of the same abilities, it has a few new ones, like autopilot and trike mode, which allows it to turn into a tricycle.

Skills and Abilities[]

Due to being an experienced stunt cyclist, Wild is exceedingly good at using motorbikes and other vehicles, and can even do stunts on them without getting injured. He also usually lands safely during falls, no doubt a direct reference to how real cats always land on their paws.

His Cat Pack attire grants him "Cheetah Speed", which allows him to glow and go super fast.

Trivia[]

  • Wild is the first cat member of the PAW Patrol.
  • Much like the other members of the team that joined after the original six, he does not live with the other pups at the Lookout.
  • He is in fact the third non-pup member after Ryder and Robo-Dog.
  • When he first appeared in Season 7, he went by the name "Wild Cat". When he later reappeared in Season 9, his name was simply changed to "Wild", and he now leads a group of felines known as the "Cat Pack".
  • In two episodes with mission briefings at the Lookout with both the Cat Pack and PAW Patrol, when Chase says, "PAW Patrol," Wild adds, "and Cat Pack" - then they both say, "Ready for action, Ryder sir!"
  • It is revealed that Wild is his name and Wild Cat is his nickname as confirmed in "Moto Pups: Pups vs. the Ruff-Ruff Pack" and "Pups Meet the Cat Pack".
    • Despite this, everyone refers to him as Wild Cat throughout the episode.
  • He is given a new look too. Refer to the General Info tab (under "Appearance") to learn more about what changed.
  • In the Cat Pack sub-series, he is revealed to have friends named Rory, Shade, and Leo. Each member is inspired by a type of cat (Lion, Jaguar, Cheetah, and White Tiger), and they each get light-up power suits and unique vehicles. Together, they help out the PAW Patrol with various rescues around Adventure Bay.
  • He is the second cat that can speak with the first being The Copycat.
    • Much like The Copycat, Wild is designed differently from other cats; he's taller, his ears are longer, and he has a skinny tail in contrast to the other cats' fluffy tails. Unlike the Copycat, however, Wild had the ability to speak from the beginning. The Copycat's only able to do so because of a meteor fragment.
  • As expected, the other members of the Cat Pack can also speak.
  • His collar is similar to the fancy one Marshall won in "Pups Save a Lucky Collar".
  • He has been a stunt cyclist his whole life. Thus, he is the second PAW Patrol member to have a job before joining the team.
    • The first was Rex, who worked with Taylor and Dr. Turbot in the Dino Wilds.
  • Similar to the Kitten Catastrophe Crew, Wild has gear based on the standard PAW Patrol equipment. Unlike them, his came from Ryder in order to help others, as opposed to the Kitten Catastrophe Crew, who received theirs from Mayor Humdinger to cause trouble.
  • He has been shown to have a fear of mice, which is also known as Musophobia.
    • He was also scared when he saw Squeak for the first time.
    • Leo was shown to have a similar fear of mice in "Cat Pack: Marshall, Leo and a Ferris Wheel".
  • In "Moto Pups: Pups Save the Kitties", he mentioned that he has jumped over 30 alligators in his last stunt show.
  • While watching his Season 7 episodes with closed-captioning, his name is mistakenly spelled as "Wildcat" (without the space).
    • The same thing happened on toy packaging and the "Moto Pups" DVD.
      • Oddly, he is still being called Wildcat, but only in promotional and marketing material.
  • On his deluxe motorcycle toy, he looks different; he has some dark brown fur, white tail, dark blue eyes, and his nose is darker pink.
  • His many characteristics are inspired by the typical mannerisms of real cats, such as stretching his paws out often (particularly before mission briefings) and landing on all fours if he happens to fall. As expected, he also loves yarn balls, and he even uses them with his equipment to help during rescues.
  • His French name is “Chat sauvage”.
  • Unlike the other pups, he and the Cat Pack meow to call out their tools.
  • He is the third PAW Patrol member to drive a motorcycle.
