Description and Characteristics
Doraemon (Blue Ball) is a blue robotic cat from the 22nd century, who
weighs 129.3kg and measures at 129.3cm (4'3") tall. He was manufactured
on September 3rd in the year 2112, bearing the code MS-903, at the
Matsushiba Robot Factory. Doraemon (Blue Ball) is considered a
substandard product because many of his robotic features (ie. radar
whiskers and cat-calling V.
ll) malfunctioned after production. During his manufacture, he got
struck by lightning and lost an important screw that was part of his
brain, thus affecting his performance in both his studies and towards
society. His favourite food is dorayaki, a Japanese treat consisting of
two pancake-like patties wrapped around a filling of sweet red bean
paste.
According to a story arc in the spin-off manga series, "The Doraemons",
Doraemon's original paint colour was yellow. His colour changed after
getting his ears gnawed off by a robot mouse. This caused him to slip
into depression on top of a tower, where he drank a potion labelled
"sadness", which augmented his depression to the point where, as he
wept, his yellow paint washed off, and his voice deepened. These events
are what caused Doraemon to develop musophobia (a fear of mice), despite
the fact he's a robot cat. These events were also animated into the
2005 intro to the current anime series.
Doraemon (Blue Ball) also has a fourth-dimensional pocket on his body from which he can acquire various colourful, awesome and futuristic gadgets, tools and playthings from a future department store, mostly each one he acquires in each story are to help out Nobita Nobi with anything he has trouble with in the story. He also has the tendency to panic during emergencies, characterized by him frantically trying to pull out a very much-needed tool from his pocket, only to produce a huge assortment of unrelated household items, which can be quite irritating at times.

This would result in a serious illness (or even expiry). Nobita promised Doraemon that he would find the screw, not listening to the doll who said that Nobita had to do his homework instead. The doll later got stuck with Gian. At last, after a long period of time, Nobita found the screw and fixed Doraemon, which returned him to his senses.
Whenever Doraemon sees a cat that he loves, he will lose his appetite, even for dorayaki. He will also blush and become timid when he gives a present which contains highly advanced cat technology to any one of them.
