What Parents Need to Know
About Cattanooga Cats
Parents need to know that the titular band's music cartoons -- which intersperse other parts of the show -- are cult favorites, offering irresistible comparisons to the idealized version of a '60s "head trip," although young viewers would never make that connection. The lyrics can also be mildly suggestive, although the visuals aren't.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the recurring cat/mouse, wolf/sheep theme that pervaded all the cartoons of this era. Why was that so popular? Is there anything more to it than the comfortable format of "chase and capture"? Kids: What do you enjoy about cartoons that follow that kind of storyline? Does it ever get boring? Why or why not?
