LOVE THE CAT'S REACTION @ 1:42, 2:00 AND 2:23

[HennaLang]

My little brother always liked this when we were little. We called it "The Black Cat and the Funny Cat." I'm so glad I was able to find this again.

[Alusnovalotus]

I LOVE THESE TWO!!!!!!! I HAVE A KITTY LIKE SQUEAK!!! SHE PISSES ME OFF AND I LOVE HER TOO!!!! DOES THAT MAKE ME SCRATCH?!!?!

[ForceMaximus84]

There was another cartoon that aired on Disney that looks like this one, but takes place in an aquarium. Does ANYONE know what I'm talking about?

[InweTaralom]

Poor Scratch, all he wanted to do was sleep, and Squeak kept on bugging him.

[TTULangGenius]

Man, I remember this being on Nickelodeon in the early 90s. Where did those twenty something-odd years go? :) I love this old cartoon.

[GoddessOfWhim2003]

i grew up on this cartoon. does anyone know where i could download it?

[legsbluetrain]

karma came back to the black cat from the toaster to the TV parts

[greyfox37]

My mom loved this when it showed on Nick and so did me and my brother. We would always shout to mom when they played it so she could watch it with us

[GoddessOfWhim2003]

@greyfox37

me too. we loved it so much, my mom taped it ^^

[legsbluetrain]

Kinda funny the tabby was in the toilet then got on a toaster after being knocked into the toilet

[GhostFearMe]

very cute!!

[Slim451]

This has been on my mind for I don't even know how long. I am so glad to be able to finally see this. This makes my day complete. :D

[SilverFangLegend13]

Wish the new shows on Nickelodeon were as good as this one! Thanks for uploading this! :3

[MD2389]

Am I the only one slightly amused that a cartoon about cats, has dog in the URL? :P

[multiChris58]

WELL done ! they are just like my onw cats....

thanks!!

[ForceMaximus84]

Does anyone else recall a cartoon in this style, but set in an aquarium? I saw it and this one on Disney Channel as a child.

[webdanafox]

I've loved this ever since I first saw it on MTV back in the 80s--thank you so much for posting it! Our whole family loves it!

[shawnjchappie]

I always loved this short as a dirt-child. ;D

[hemanshera777]

Does anyone mind making a "Stray Cat Strut" Music Video for this cartoon? Squeak and Scratch may be House Cats, instead of Stray Cats, but I think that Stray Cats song would suit those two pretty well.

[werewolfantipaladin]

Scratch is quite the brat isn't he.

[mariethebest09]

This is probably the best Old School Nickelodeon commercial break animated short. Period.

[WhoMelissa]

Hilarious!

[psilver]

Thanks misterdavep for posting!

[nahima]

I remember this from when I was a little girl and it made me laugh just as hard as it did then. Thank you so much for showing this again.

[mother3xs]

Youtube is amazing! The first time I looked for this, after a few deadend efforts, voila! There it was! And it was just a short cartoon filler between shows. But evidently it made an impact on a lot of people including myself. Well done Ms.McClure. And thank you to misterdavep for posting this.

[zjunebug]

I remember watching this between shows on Nick Jr. back in the early 90s!!!! One of my favorite cartoons of ALL TIME!!!!! Thanks for putting it up here!

[Sleepwalker1977]

LOL at the wicked grin @ 1:43

[GrandAuthorYun]

@Sleepwalker1977 That's definitely the best part, yeah.

[Sylver1432]

I love this film! It's good to see it again, and in decent quality!

[mandaprie]

A hex on the bastards that disliked this!

[HimeNoKuri]

Omz thanks soooo much for this!!! Made me lol like I haven't in years!!

[jhwink]

Wow I never thought I would see this again.

[hdofu]

OH MY GOD!, thank you THANK YOU! I've been looking for this for years!

[lunghd]

Another thanks for posting this.

[1701Tex]

I remember this from Sunday afternoons on Nickelodeon, in 1990, just before reruns of You Can't Do That On Television.

Such good times...

[InweTaralom]

Poor litle Scratch. All he wants to do is take a nice peaceful nap someplace, and Squeak keeps messing him up.

[Tornado1994]

Another Rocketship Productions animation segement of 1988-1989 on Nickelodeon. Only unlike "dog Brain" this didn't end up on Liquid TV.

[DekaSwan86326]

1:42 Look at The Evil Grin On Scratch's Face

[shadowfox1383]

@DekaSwan86326 An evil smile from a cheshire cat or a sinister grin from a jellicle cat? You decide...

[DekaSwan86326]

Ok I know this sounds weird but was the black cat angry when those mike feedback sounds happened?

[VicariousViking]

Loved these shorts as a kid, absolutely loved them. Love them even more now!

[volpe3fuego]

OmG I couldn't remember the title and I've been dying to find this for YEARS!! Thank you SO much! I really appreciate you posting this and taking me back XD

[shinigami518]

I remember this short! I've been trying to find it for years. Thanks for posting this!!!

[ZeldaMaster285]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!! I was like 2 years old when I first saw this. Used to have it on tape until I recorded over it :-(

Anyway, I am glad to see it again!

[psilver]

@ZeldaMaster285

My Mom recorded it too! Memories...

[pvx]

I as well remember watching this on Nickelodeon ages ago, they used to air short films like these between shows to fill time.

Good to see it again after all of these years, thanks for posting this, Mr. Dave P..! :)

[Tornado1994]

@pvx It was called "Rocketship Productions". It was during 1988-1989.

[eviltopher]

Holy crap! I haven't seen this in years! So awesome. Thanks a ton for posting this.

[iamabelieber]

[RainyLittleGhost]

That was so cute!

[kimbalito]

I always liked this! XD

[TurtleDove81]

man reason I love short haired black cats... they just look so dang cool

[JSantie]

Nice. I remember this on Nickelodeon...funny, this was in my "suggested for you" spot...the one time it suggested something I liked!

[fleemj]

Awesome, thank you for posting this! I've wanted to see this in full for a long time!

[ttudude]

2:53-2:55, WOW, that cat is pissed now!! Oop...never mind.

[Chromeum]

Done by someone who had cats, for certain!

I like what can be done with simple animation - adding lots of visual detail sometimes doesn't add anything at all...

[caesarsalad77]

Nostalgia.

Bomb.

[TJLan86]

OMG! i remember this! finally it's on here!! thankyou! =^.^=
