When a new family moved into the apartment next door to Rob Wilco, they introduced Fungo as their pet. The amiable Satchel Pooch made friends with the newcomer easily, but Bucky Katt immediately regarded him as a mortal enemy. Although he whispers in Satchel's ear on occasion, Fungo does not speak audibly in the strip. Robert Wilco is a fictional character in Darby Conleys comic strip Get Fuzzy. ...

Bucky's attempts to defeat and/or humiliate Fungo almost invariably backfire rather badly. For example, Bucky once tried to trap the ferret in a crude snare. Fungo yanked on the rope, causing Bucky to smack into a wall and lose two teeth: his trademark cuspid and a smaller tooth. To add insult to injury, Fungo wears the smaller tooth on a necklace. (Bucky's "fang" was reattached at great expense, and a gold tooth inserted to replace the other.) Other plots have had similarly unintended consequences, such as Fungo's kidnapping of Bucky's beloved toy Smacky (twice). One memorably misguided attempt involved Bucky throwing a baseball at a ferret he took to be Fungo; the ball struck Fungo's mother and knocked her down a laundry chute. Another instance was when Bucky destroyed a large portion of a wall in an attempt to get Fungo once and for all. However, all that Bucky got was a chunk of plaster to the head. In oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dogteeth, fangs, or (in the case of those of the upper jaw) eye teeth, are relatively long, pointed teeth, evolved (and used, in most species where they remain prominent) primarily for firmly holding food in order to tear it apart, and...
No explanation is ever given for Bucky's intense hatred for Fungo. Bucky may mistake the mustelid for some sort of rodent, or the enmity may be as inexplicable as his desire to consume a monkey. Perhaps it is simply another by-product of Bucky's boundless hostility towards the world in general. In any case, many (but not all) of Fungo's aggressions toward Bucky are simply reactions to the cat's attempted assaults, as Fungo does not seem to go looking for trouble.
