Junior's personality reflected a degree of respect for his father, though often, when Sylvester does something embarrassing or humiliating, Junior would (melodramatically) often profess feeling ashamed or embarrassed by his father's behavior (sometimes donning a paper bag over his head) or sadly saying, in a breathy voice, "Oh, Father...", "Oh, the "shame" of it", or "How can I ever face the fellows in Troop 12?" He's also contradicted himself by saying he wanted a home in "Claws in the Lease" while in "The Slap-Hoppy Mouse", he complains to his father about his "soft living" in a "chicken-chintzy outfit".
