TV series
Wild Cat was one of the applicants for Sonic's sidekick tryouts after he fired Tails, but he never made the cut. While making a few visits to Meh Burger, Wild Cat and the rest of the villagers were caught in a meteor shower raining down on the Village until Sticks saved them. When the Awardy Awards were being held not long after, Wild Cat was one of the guests invited to this event, though he left before the height of the evening.

With life going on as usual, Wild Cat found time to visit the Village Center where he watched Orbot and Cubot's terrible street performance with regret, and see a show in T.W. Barker's Circus of Wonders. One day without warning however, Wild Cat and the villagers were cornered by Dr. Eggman as he invaded the island before being left at the mercy of the doctor's Mega. Fortunately, they were saved by Knuckles, whose server case of bad luck made the Mega destroy itself when he joined Eggman.

While in the Village at night, Wild Cat and the villagers were attacked by Eggman's Moth Bot but were saved by Team Sonic. The next day, Wild Cat sought out Sonic to tell him that Eggman was suing him for needlessly injuring him. As Wild Cat trekked through the Village, he encountered a booth where Eggman sold his Eggman's Tomato Sauce. With Sonic involuntarily proving its deliciousness, Wild Cat brought the product for himself. A few weeks later though, Wild Cat was attacked by his lamp which was turned into a weapon by Eggman's sauce cans, but he was soon saved when Team Sonic stopped Eggman. On a day visiting Meh Burger, Wild Cat and all else were caught in an infinite time loop created by Dr. Eggman. As such, Wild Cat, unaware of what was happening, would relive the same day over and over until the time loop was broken.

Wild Cat later worked on delivering deli products to the Village, only to find the delivery route blocked by an overtired Granifier Giganticus. Fortunately, Team Sonic was able to relocate the giant, allowing Wild Cat to continue. On a day where they closed the library early, Wild Cat was about to for chili dogs with Fastidious, but their trip was postponed when Eggman blew a hole in the library and Sonic returned a book to them. Not long after, Wild Cat, along with the rest of the Village, was attacked by Eggman's rampaging robots which had been deployed by the Lightning Bolt Society. Until Team Sonic took care of it, Wild Cat had to flee for his life, though he did stop at Meh Burger for a snack.

As Wild Cat was having a meal at Meh Burger with Wolfie, he was caught up in the competition between Chez Amy and Meh Burger. Wild Cat and the villagers regularly switched between these establishment, depending on their gimmicks, before settling at Chez Amy until Eggman destroyed it. Wild Cat later met Swifty the Shrew and was captivated by the shrew's hipness. In Shifty's race against Sonic, Wild Cat rooted for the shrew who ended up winning while Sonic got banished from the Village according to the law. However, Wild Cat was betrayed by Swifty when Eggman revealed he was his robot agent, and Swifty robots began ravaging the Village. As Sonic came to the villagers' rescue after being unbanished, Wild Cat helped Knuckles topple Eggman's domain while Sonic got rid of Eggman's forces. Leading up to the Chili Dog Cook-Off, Wild Cat took over for Dave the Intern at Meh Burger while Dave was out bragging about his chili recipe. As Wild Cat sought to built a mall near Sticks' Burrow, he went to city hall to get a permit. With Knuckles as deputy mayor, Wild Cat got his permit and went to work, bringing himself at odds with Sticks. Wild soon after went to Meh Burger for food as chaos unfolded in the Village due to Knuckles' misuse of power.

After a regular visit to Meh Burger, Wild Cat came to the premiere of Eggman's movie at Eggman's lair a few days later. During the movie though, Wild Cat learned it was meant to enslave the audience with hypnotism, but had failed due to an error on Eggman's part. Wild Cat and the audience subsequently left. Wild Cat later came to Meh Burger, he heard Sonic call Mike the Ox "just a guy" which he and the villagers interpreted as Sonic being insensitive. He soon joined an angry mob sharing his outrage and stirred up an uproar that made Sonic go into retirement. However, Wild Cat realized he was wrong about Sonic when he saved the village from a sheep stampede caused by the Lightning Bolt Society, whom Wild Cat told to stop being bad guys since they were not good at it, only for them to "insult" him.

On New Year's Eve, Wild Cat participated in the party in the Village Center where he joined an extensive conga line. Amidst the party, Dr. Eggman used his Slow Motion Machine to slow down time long enough for him to beat Sonic in something before New Year, though Wild Cat did not see Eggman's victory as it happened too fast for him to perceive. As Wild Cat later heard of Justin Beaver's growing fame, he came to be the assistant manager for Justin's producer, helping him with his evil plan to turn Justin's fans into mindless merchandise consumers using music. When Wild Cat went over the producer's plans to brainwash the town at Justin's next concert, the duo caught Sonic, Tails and Knuckles eavesdropping, but failed to catch them. Wild Cat's preparations were later ruined by said trio when they broke the mind control at the concert with their own musical number.

Witnessing Eggman having trouble at the post office, Wild Cat fled from there as the doctor called in Decimator Bot. After a well-deserved meal at Meh Burger, Wild Cat had a laugh when he saw Tails do a dating dance in the Village Center. Wild Cat later attended the live recording of Bro-Down Showdown in the Village Center. While watching however, Wild Cat had to escape when Obliterator Bot attacked the Village. During Knuckles' fame for his trash can trend, Wild Cat was among the villagers adoring their new celebrity. In the meantime, he would continue his work as assistant to the host on the Comedy Chimp Show, first to Comedy Chimp and later their guest host Knuckles.

Wild Cat later joined an angry mob at the tow hall when Sonic had seemingly become a thief. There, Knuckles promised to bring in Sonic, although Wild Cat would join Knuckles' hunt for a time to help, though Sonic got proven innocent in the end.

Archie Comics
While in the Village Center, Wild Cat was invited to Dr. Eggman's Eggtoberfest. Though Wild Cat went there, the rides turned out to be inoperable, and he and the villagers formed an angry mob until Eggman got the rides going. Despite this, Wild Cat knew the Eggtoberfest was just an attempt on Eggman's behalf to buy his trust, a sense of contempt that made Eggman release his army on Wild Cat and the villagers until they were saved by Team Sonic.

Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom
In Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom, Wild Cat makes a small cameo where he can be seen alongside the tracks in the town areas.

Personality
Wild Cat is a very hard worker and a guy of many talents given the several jobs he participates in. He comes off as somewhat sympathetic, telling the Lightning Bolt Society that he understood why they are trying to be evil, but nonetheless tried discouraging them to continue their activities as they were just embarrassing themselves. Wild Cat is also someone not easily bought as he recognized Eggman's attempt to buy his trust by putting on the Eggtoberfest, an method that did not sit well with him.

Relationships
Dr. Eggman

Wild Cat does not trust Eggman the slightest since he is an evil genius who is always destroying his stuff and has poor personal hygiene.
