Production notes
This segment of Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats was first known as "Cats and Company" through most of the first season because DiC was not sure if the Cadillac car company would have a problem with the name.
In this segment, we see the escapades of The Cadillac Cats (later "The Catillac Cats") led by Riff Raff. He concocts various get-rich-quick schemes and spends his time searching for the ultimate meal.
