Catdog

CatDog is an American animated television series created for Nickelodeon by Peter Hannan. The series
depicts the life of conjoined brothers of different species, with one half of the resultant animal being a
cat and the other a dog. Nickelodeon produced the series from Burbank, California.[1] The first episode
aired on April 4, 1998, following the 1998 Kids' Choice Awards, before the show officially premiered in
October of that year. Similarly, the Season 2 episode "Fetch" was shown in theaters with The Rugrats
Movie in 1998 before airing on television.

The series was canceled on June 15, 2005, leading to a total of four seasons and 68 episodes over 7
years. The series was produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and Peter Hannan Productions, and
was released on DVD in Region 1 by Shout! Factory.

Two animation studios—Saerom Animation through Watchview Studio and Rough Draft
Studios through Rough Draft Korea—worked on the animation for the show.

 atDog (voiced by Jim Cummings and Tom Kenny) are a conjoined cat and dog sibling. Cat is the
smarter and more cunning and Dog is the more happy-go-lucky and more naive. Cat often
devises plans to trick Dog into getting what he wants, such as making Dog smarter in an attempt
to have more in common with him, or having him win a dog sledding contest by training him in a
very hard and militaristic manner, and usually, as a result of his greediness and selfishness,
these schemes all blow up in his face. Dog is the source of clumsiness. As his name implies, he is
a dog. He is extremely ambitious when Cat or any other character convinces him to take on a
task, diving right into it with full force and energy. With his brains and constant ridiculing from
the rest of the characters, Cat is the more defensive and short tempered of the two. Dog is the
typical loyal dog and is easily convinced. He is quite gullible and will believe everything he is told.
His attention span is very short and he is easily distracted by balls, garbage trucks, bones, food,
and his overactive imagination. Because of his more simple nature, Dog usually is the one who
gets the pair into trouble. Not paying attention to Cat's warnings, his actions almost always end
up with some severe consequences. Despite this, in many of the episodes, it is shown that Dog is
usually the one that is more popular and athletic of the two, such as the episode when CatDog
both went back to school to complete Cat's last day of High School. Cat and Dog are sometimes
seen fighting with each other or bickering (as shown in the episodes "Teeth for Two" and
"CatDog Candy"), and Dog even tried to eat him once in the episode "Meat Dog's Friends".
Despite their fight, they love each other with their whole heart. Cat cares so deeply that he ends
up helping Dog in the end once his guilty conscience gets to him. Cat has a "crush" on Shriek. In
one episode, Cat admits his love for Shriek and kisses her after Shriek kisses Dog and tells him
she loves him (only to wind up getting pounded by the aggressive poodle). Cat desires fame and
fortune and tends to go to excessive lengths in order to gain them. He is intelligent and enjoys
reading, gardening, and listening to classical music. He is somewhat uptight and believes
strongly in being polite and neat. He is a stickler for cleanliness and, like most cats,
has aquaphobia. Dog is often distracted with chasing shadows and chasing after tennis balls, and
loves eating garbage. Much to the neat-freakish Cat's dismay, Dog leaves a mess everywhere he
goes. Despite his sophisticated personality, Cat also has a dark side. Whenever he snaps, he
becomes a ruthless, psychopathic maniac of whom even the Greasers are scared, once they see
 what he is capable of doing (especially his stress-induced, superhuman strength, evident in one
episode when he destroyed the Greasers' monster truck with a single punch).

 Winslow Thelonious Oddfellow (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is a tailless blue mouse that lives in
CatDog's house in the hole in the wall, and is occasionally an antagonist of the series, next to
The Greasers and Rancid Rabbit. Winslow speaks with a typical Brooklyn accent. Winslow is
always full of wisecracks about anything and everything. He is very sneaky and underhanded
with CatDog, especially with Cat. Winslow and Cat do not get along very well at all, because he is
always getting Cat in trouble. However, it was eventually revealed that Winslow may be afraid
of Cat, because Cat tried to eat him once. Dog, however, does not mind Winslow and is friendly
with him. Deep down, he has a very big heart and loves CatDog and at some point acts as
CatDog's conscience and guidance for living in society, but acts out against them. His
catchphrase is "What are you? Nuts?". Hannan held a contest on August 17, 2019 to guess
Winslow's middle name of "Thelonious", which had not been publicly released at the time.

 The Greaser Dogs are a street gang of three tough dogs named Cliff, Shriek and Lube. They serve
as the main antagonists of the series. They act no differently from school playground bullies,
picking on anyone either weaker or different from them, usually by "pounding" them. They pick
on CatDog (mostly Cat) because of their freakish nature. Dog sometimes gets along with them
because he is also a canine. They initiated him into the gang after he had proven his worth. The
Greaser Dogs also have a fear of ticks, which renders them helpless in almost any situation. The
name Greasers is a reference to the greaser subculture.

o Clifford Maurice "Cliff" Feltbottom (voiced by Tom Kenny): The leader of the Greasers.
He wears a black jacket with a picture of a dead cat on the back of it. He is very short-
tempered and speaks similarly to Winslow with a Brooklyn accent only not as high. He
got a taste of his own medicine when Eddie was accidentally glued to his jacket, which
turned them into "Squirrel Dog". Once this happened, Shriek and Lube kicked him out of
the Greasers because now he was a "two-headed freak." Cliff learned the pain of being
an outcast and what CatDog go through. However, once he was free of Eddie, he
returned to his old bullying ways and rejoined the Greasers. In the episode "Beware of
Cliff", when he is trapped under a massive weight for several days, he made a solemn
vow never to bully anyone (especially CatDog, despite Cat's suspicions) again should he
escape this fate, though it did not last very long because he got trapped again under a
falling tree and later wanted to pound them again. Later episodes reveal softer sides of
Cliff, such as his love for ballet and cashmere. Two episodes say that he was not an only
child; the only proof is a niece and a nephew. Despite being the leader of the Greasers,
he got banned from the group once, and he got pounded by Shriek and Lube for
attacking them in one episode (he was protecting Catdog from them because of a vow
to never bully them again).
