Fridge / Cats & Dogs

Fridge Brilliance:

  • The sequel has a quick joke about the "spread of feline extremism." This helps to explain why cats were originally regarded as evil- It's the equivalent to how so many Americans think of Arabs. And of course, even if the majority of enemies we face all are the same race/religion, they are only the worst of the bunch. So Catherine's like an Arab in counter-terrorism.
  • A quick comment by Catherine indicates that MEOWS' primary purpose is to protect humanity from canine threats (their claim of jurisdiction on Kitty Galore is her being ex-MEOWS), just as DOG focuses on feline threats. Of course both sides are going to be reflexively suspicious of the other: they keep on meeting the worst of the other species.
  • Why does every installment have a different cast? Being ordinary animals, they have pretty short lifespans.

Fridge Horror:

  • Where do you think Kitty Galore got her puppy outfit from?
  • Take a look at what Kitty Galore's evil plan was. Realize that the key device wasn't shut off until the effect had traversed most of the western hemisphere...
  • Also counts as Genius Bonus, At the end of the Ancient Egypt segment, it shows Shen-Akh-Akumon and his Mooks being fed to crocodiles. In Egyptian Mythology, souls of the damned were eaten by Ammut/Ammit, who was a female demon made of Egypt's most dangerous animals, including the head of a crocodile, the midsection of a lion, and the rear-end of a hippopotamus. She would lie under the scales of truth to see if the soul was evil. With this being said, it's possible the dogs themselves killed Shen-Akh-Akumon and his followers, and given the type of pharaoh he was, they were eaten by Ammit in the afterlife.
  • Ivy doesn't appear in the second movie, possibly meaning she died between the events of the first and second film.
