First appeared Muffins and Snoop, two cats, that debuted in "Yo Momma YouTube Battle". Shane often likes to say things to them which tend to make them stare at him, walk away, fiddle with the camera, or meow.

Mother Dawson
Mother Dawson likes to dress in a bathrobe, eyecover, jeans, and a shirt underneath her robe, and in older episodes, she could be found with random paraphernalia in her hair like hair curlers or price tags. She wears lipstick usually put on in a sloppy manner, similar to Shanaynay. Even though she can sometimes seem to be a caring and affectionate mother, she often insults Shane and his brother (among others), often calling them derogatory names. It was revealed in "WHY WAS I BORN?" that Mother Dawson had wished she were a "movie star." In later episodes, Mother Dawson proved to be the only parent until "VANESSA SENT ME N00DZ!" when it was realized that a father did exist, however, Mother Dawson has proved to be a more frequent character, whereas Shane's father only appeared once. Mother Dawson, although mentioned in "DMV," debuted in "Why Was I Born?"
