When I was little, I could not live without watching the late 90’s Nickelodeon cartoon, CatDog. If I wasn’t watching it, I was running around with the bright-orange VCR tape in my backpack.
From the first time I saw the video I thought it was the most exciting, funny show I had ever seen. I was in love with the fact that the main character had been a Half-Dog-Half-Cat creature that ran around the city getting into all kinds of trouble. There was six episodes on this particular tape that I could’ve quoted every line of. Today, I can still sing the whole opening song to the first episode.
I watched this tape so much my parents had to end up buying the copy from the Blockbuster we rented it at. I didn’t even let go of it long enough for them to take it back and explain, they had to go in empty handed. Without having the show in my life, I would not have had a childhood. Not only did it provide lots of entertainment and laughs, it also provided countless hours of my dad and I bonding over watching it together.
