The Houndcats

1972 · 1 season

A breezy, silly spy caper where cartoon animals bumble through missions and the jokes land gently.

Genres
Animation
Overview
A team of three dogs and two cats working to serve justice where there is wrong-doing. Each episode begins with the Houndcats receiving orders from their unseen "Chief", whose message is played on an old-fashioned gramophone, player-piano or other devices, parodying the tape recorder scene at the start of most episodes of Mission: Impossible.
