Meowth's own sad past of loneliness and rejection, revealed largely in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', has given him a sense of pride in overcoming his own limits. He recognizes himself as a Pokémon, but has always felt at odds, where he doesn't perfectly fit into the Pokémon world because of his ability to speak human speech. Despite his often self-interested nature, he is willing to support individuals with their own passions, and will go out of his way to ensure they achieve their goal. Examples include [[Simon]] from ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', who was certain he could understand the feelings of Pokémon, or [[Michelle]]'s {{p|Bagon}} who was keen to fly. | Meowth's own sad past of loneliness and rejection, revealed largely in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', has given him a sense of pride in overcoming his own limits.

Meowth is an amorous Pokémon, developing crushes on occasion. His crushes can often put him into hot water, as Meowth tends to ignore the wishes and ambitions of his teammates. The first of these was the aforementioned Meowzie. The next one seen is [[Cassandra]], a herbalist. Due to this infatuation, he decided to help her {{p|Paras}} evolve. However, he was replaced by a {{p|Persian}} so that he can continue traveling with Jessie and James, as Cassandra thought he was a hero and should continue doing his (not so) good work with Team Rocket. After this, three more cat-based Pokémon followed, beginning with [[May's Skitty]]. However, due to the fact that [[Jessie]] wanted to catch the Skitty, Meowth helped Skitty escape in order to avoid Skitty getting hurt with the rest of the team. Later on, in ''[[SS009|Big Meowth, Little Dreams]]'' he fell in love with another Skitty. In ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth!]]'', Meowth fell in love with a {{p|Glameow}} this time, one that belongs to [[Mamie]]. Similar to May's Skitty, Meowth tried to get away from Jessie and James so Glameow would not join them in blasting off. After Meowth was surrounded by Jessie, James, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}} and Mamie, Meowth gained power from the love he felt, allowing him to defeat several Pokémon thrown at him, including [[Ash's Infernape]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, [[Jessie's Seviper]] and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, and [[Dawn's Togekiss]]. However, after getting hit with [[James's Carnivine]]'s {{m|Bullet Seed}}, Glameow evolved into Purugly and squished Meowth, making Meowth lose his feelings for her. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', [[Luke's Zorua]] used this trait to her advantage and turned into a female {{p|Meowth}} causing Meowth to become infatuated and unable to do her harm. He did this again in ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'' when he fell in love with a {{p|Purrloin}} he thought was female. During the time when Meowth was traveling with the group, Oshawott fought with him, usually when they both exploit two of their characteristics at the same time - falling in love with the same Pokémon, or when their prides are being entangled. Most recently, Meowth was attracted to a {{p|Pheromosa}} in [[SM114]], and this led him to help it steal [[Z-Crystals]] from Ash's group and his own teammates. | Meowth is an amorous Pokémon, developing crushes on occasion.

Meowth also has demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, like in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when he coddled {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}} before fighting for custody of it, only to finally lose it to {{an|Misty}}. To regain custody of Togepi, he even defeated [[Brock's Onix]] by throwing a bucket of water in its face and finishing it with a Fury Swipes attack to the head. | Meowth also has demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, like in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when he coddled {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}} before fighting for custody of it, only to finally lose it to {{an|Misty}}.
