Gary is SpongeBob's pet snail. Within the series, snails are analogous to cats, and as such Gary
vocalizes like one. SpongeBob can apparently translate Gary's meows and purrs. A running gag on
the show is that SpongeBob must not forget to feed him. Gary has talked a few times in the series,
and in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie he yells: "Meow Plankton". He is voiced by Tom Kenny.
Gary is shown to be Patrick's cousin in the episode Rule of Dumb.
