CatDog
CatDog premiered in 1998 and ran for four seasons, telling the story of conjoined animal siblings. On one side we’ve got Cat who’s hopeful for the life of fame & fortune sometime down the line. On the other hand, Dog . . . not so much.
Cat wants to be successful & wealthy in life while Dog, on the other hand, is constantly on a pursuit of momentary joy. Dog is concerned about the short-term pleasures in life and because he’s more of a ditzy airhead, he constantly slows Cat down from achieving new things.
