The Houndcats

The Houndcats was a 1970s animated television cartoon series shown on the NBC television network. Loosely based on the CBS adventure series Mission: Impossible, it was headed by a combined team of (three) dogs and (two) cats, hence the name "Hound-Cats"

Members

• The "Houndcats" were led by the cat Stutz, who stayed cool and confident most of the time.
• Dingdog was his blue Civil War uniform-wearing right-hand man with rotten timing and judgment on almost everything.
• MusselMutt was the muscle of the group - a large, bulky,and ever hungry sheepdog whose eyes were almost always hidden under his hat.
• PuttyPuss was a tiny cat - the disguise expert of the group.
• Rhubarb the dog was the do-it-all scientist who was capable of inventing just about anything, anytime. He wore a long coat and a large sombrero (you usually just saw his nose sticking out from under it) and had a vast array of gadgets hidden therein.

The group travelled in a Stutz Bearcat named Sparkplug, a sputtering junkheap of a car that often had a mind of its own.
