Word Of God is when the creator themselves confirms something. I highly doubt that Peter Hannan is aware of TV Tropes, plus Mickey Mouse actually did have to go to the bathroom in a Mickey MouseWorks short and in the Mickey Mouse 2013 short "Space Walkies", so the stuff about whether or not Disney characters go to the bathroom comes off as natter.


** [[WordOfGod Did Mickey Mouse have to go to the bathroom? I don't think so. I don't think [=CatDog=] had to, either.]]
*** In the comics, Donald did have to repair his toilet bowl so...

* In the episode about [[ItMakesSenseInContext smuggling dogbones]] to serve in what amounts to a speakeasy, at the very end Winslow undersells CatDog by charging only $1 for what Cat had been charging $5 (and then $10 and planning $20) as well as hiring the Greasers as bouncers and bribing the cops so they look the other way. Realistically, how can he ''possibly'' expect to make a profit ''or'' get more money than Cat? Cat was getting more money for each individual bone and hadn't really bribed anyone or hired any employees (he's not ''shown'' paying them, at least). Even if Winslow paid the Greasers in bones, that's taking away some of his own product and thus losing money, and bribing the cops costs him ''more'' money. Cat had also been selling for longer, so even without his customers, he's gonna have more than Winslow for a while to come.

* Okay, something tells me that RuleOfFunny is the explanation here, but I still can't wrap my head around it: In "Cliff's Little Secret", Cat mentions that he and Dog got wedgies from the Greasers. Two problems with this. One, they don't have a butt, so a wedgie would be anatomically impossible. Two, they don't even wear any clothes, let alone underwear, so even if a wedgie were anatomically possible how would the Greasers pull it off (no pun intended)?

* Do the Greasers really hate cats? Some episodes had Cliff interacting with feline characters in a non-negative manner, including taking dancing lessons with Randolph Grant (the cat with the replacement but), and trying to woo one of the twins sisters. None of the other Greasers see anything wrong with it. Is the reason they bully the titular duo (specifically Cat) less to do with species and more the fact that they're considered "freaks?"

** Probably so. The Greasers' rulebook says "No two-headed freaks"...

Removing my question I posted months ago for my own *ashamed* complaining.


* One thing that bothered me...how come Cat is usually punished from Dog's antics, when people clearly see it was ''Dog'' who caused whatever that happened...and we're supposed to side with Dog because Cat is a jerk? Too much Cat abuse!
** You answered your own question, Cat is a jerk and extremely arrogant (not a hyperbole). Not only that but he is the direct cause for a lot of their abuse. Whereas Dog is an IdiotHoudini on his worse days.

*Here's another one, how is it possible for Rancid Rabbit to have all these jobs and scam Cat so easily and he's the smart one. I was hoping someone would see Rancid as a restaurant and ask Catdog, "Hey Catdog, why is your doctor our waiter?" The only time Cat notices this is when Rancid appeared as a teacher and a Policeman. Also in "All you can't eat" why was Rancid crying when he got fired as Manager from Taco Depot when he has a hundred more jobs.
