* CoveredUp: At least four of their songs were not Cattanooga Cats originals. The song "Cold Wisconsin Nights" (sometimes called "Sittin' by the Fireside" after the beginning of the song's first verse) was previously recorded by a group called The American Revolution, "My Birthday Suit" was originally recorded by Lydia Marcelle for the soundtrack of ''Jennie: Wife/Child'', and "My Girlfriend Is a Witch" and "I Wish I Was a Fire" were both previously recorded by the group October Country.
* DemographicallyInappropriateHumor: In "Follow That Cat," Autocat crashes into a "[[Magazine/{{Playboy}} Playcat]]" billboard featuring a woman wearing a bikini.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** While the show wasn't as big as Creator/HannaBarbera hoped, the character Mildew Wolf managed to stand out quite a bit, enough to cameo on some later shows from the studio.
** Motormouse and Autocat as well; they did well enough to get a self-titled spinoff in 1970, making new episodes along with ''It's The Wolf''. Of the four cartoons, ''Motormouse and Autocat'' had the most segments, with ''It's The Wolf'' not too far behind. (Ironically, the Cattanooga Cats themselves had the fewest, with only nine to their name.)
* MemeticMutation: Kitty Jo being [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Daphne]]'s fursona.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Due to the series' early cancellation, Chessie only got to appear in one complete episode. She did regularly appear in the short segments where the Cats try to avoid her, at least.
** Teeny Tim's existence wasn't even hinted at in the episodes, appearing solely in the short segments and music videos. He did at least play a part in "The Go-Go-Gone Buggy", the Cats' sole comic book-exclusive adventure.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The Cattanooga Cats are a quartet of cats dressed like hippies, using slang like "psychedelic" and "groovy", performing in bubblegum pop music videos with trippy visuals, occasionally accompanied by a dog named after one of the late sixties' most [[Music/TinyTim famous musicians]]. If you can't tell they're a product of Main/TheSixties, you're not paying attention.
* ValuesDissonance:
** "Geronihoho", the second episode of ''The Cattanooga Cats'', is rife with it. The antagonist, Geranihoho[[note]]That's not a typo, his name is spelled out differently in the episode itself[[/note]], is a [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins stereotypically-dressed]] Native American man speaking in [[TontoTalk broken English]], lashing out at the tourists who have taken over his tribe's hunting grounds and built a ranch on it. The episode treats him as being in the wrong for trying to take the land by force, [[InformedWrongness ignoring the fact the land was his to begin with.]] It still ends happily for Geranihoho, in a way; after the chase scenes, bow-and-arrow shootings, and painful Indian puns, the Cats convince him to take advantage of the situation and open a concert hall. While he doesn't gets the tourists off his land, they now make him very rich.
** On top of that, Mildew using the same broken English and stereotypical outfit when pretending to be an Indian in "Lamb Scout Cook Out". That sort of thing would ''not'' be acceptable nowadays.
