Gideon is Ramona Flowers's pet tabby cat. Throughout the series there was a lot of fan speculation as to whether the cat was Gideon in disguise, but it wasn't, and when questioned about it by the cat's namesake in the final volume, Ramona said she “[had her] own way of working things out."

History[]

Scott Pilgrim graphic novels[]

Giddy

Gideon staring over the letter from Ramona

Gideon was originally a stray that found its way into Ramona's life, but then became Scott's when she disappeared. Gideon runs off at the end of Volume 5 but returns months later to Scott in Volume 6 when he's in his new apartment and trying to get his life back together.

Scott accepts the cat's return since it's the only thing he has that connects him to Ramona while she is gone. The night the cat returns is the first night Scott sleeps soundly since Ramona's abrupt disappearance. (He had been haunted by nightmares of Ramona, Gideon, and other aspects of his girl troubles since her disappearance.)

During Scott's final battle against Gideon Graves, when Gideon reveals that he's been spying on him and Ramona for a long time, Scott thinks Gideon is talking about the cat. Gideon is confused and says he was not the cat.

At the end of Volume 6, Gideon the cat becomes the sole "fan" of Scott and Kim Pine's awful new band Shatter Band.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World[]

Gideon the Cat had a brief cameo in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on a mug that Scott drank out of at the beginning when at Stephen's apartment.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game[]

It is possible that the cat seen in World 1 and World 4 (in Ramona's backyard) in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game is Gideon the cat. 

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off[]

Gideon appears in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, his appearances are brief, however he is present in almost all episodes of the show where he is seen when Ramona is in her apartment. Along with Robot-01, they are the only two prominent characters in the anime who are not human, and are also the only ones who do not speak.
