What Parents Need to Know

About CatDog

Parents need to know that kids will probably laugh their heads off at the silliness of a creature with a cat at one end of its body and a dog at the other. But parents may find they're not in on the joke. While there's no harm done here, the amount of cartoon mayhem and absurdity leaves little reason for parents to have kids tune in regularly.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the very opposite personalities of the character(s). Why are kids interested in this strange creature's silly behavior?

    I use to like catdog. Great show. But it's really weird. The cat and the dog stuck together is a little wrong. But it's supose to be funny.

    look what we have here! the god-awful nicktoon CatDog! Plot:The shows about a frikin' Two-head freak who wants to live nomal lives. But he ends up doing a bunch of stupid crap that has nothing to do with the main plot. there's suposed to be adults, but they looks more like a 12-year-old. Characters: the characters designs are orginal, but a little to orginal.... Look, I have nothing against anthropomorphic animals, but this is just nuts! other than the main charater, we have his gphyco Squirrel "Eddie" who looks like a muture version of Winslow. Now we get to the crazy characters....Randoff is an anthropomorpic Tiger who doesn't really like Cat but hangs out with him anyway; Greasers are a group of Bully Dogs and Dunglap ( the only sane character in the series) is a weasle. WTF?????? a Two headed Hybrid, 3 bully dogs, a Giant Green Rabbit, a Squirrel, a Tiger, Porareken Bird, a Blue Mouse, and a Green Guy all can't be in the same town! Animation: The animation is done in Crapimation (...I hate crapimation cartoons on tv...) ----------------------------------------------------- Overall: the show ran for a long time......you be the judge

    I agree with Cartoonaholic. WTH ever happened to all the good shows? They took them away and replaced it with crap!
