"Who is the cat that wears a disguise
Hiding from dogs right in front of their eyes?
CALLING CAT 22!
Who is the cat that forever dares
To blow himself up or fall down some stairs?
CALLING CAT 22!
Who is the cat that you need to call
When the chips are all down and your back's at the wall?''
CALLING CAT 22!
That's who!"
The show's Expository Theme Tune

Calling Cat 22 is a web animated series that centers around Cat 22, who is a secret agent who unsuccessfully investigates the behavior of dogs in a world where dogs are the dominant members of society. It was on Cartoon Network's Wedgies block where there were short mini-series that played between shows. This series for that reason was extremely short-lived and only lasted in the year 2008.
