->''Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one should,\\
Terrify their neighborhood\\
But Heathcliff just won't be undone,\\
Playing pranks on everyone!\\\
There's a race to be on top,\\
The competition doesn't stop\\
Mixing with the ladies fair,\\
Being charming debonair!''

Creator/MelBlanc provided the voice of Heathcliff, the last character he would originate in his decades-long career. [[labelnote:*]]An important distinction, Heathcliff wasn't his last vocal performance ''ever'' as he stayed busy right up until his death providing the voices for all of his older characters with his final contribution being Mr. Spacely in ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'', but Heathcliff was the last character for which he created an original vocal performance[[/labelnote]]

* JerkJock: For Heathcliff, it was "Boom-Boom" Pussini, and a bodybuilder named Pecs.
** For The Catillac Cats, they, along with Leroy and Bush, had to face The Dirty Dogs soccer team. Poor Mungo, however, had to test his might against Big Brother Jake in the episode, The Games of Love... just for Mungo to date his sister. Dixie put an end to '''''that''''' upon hearing of it



* ScareDare: In "Scaredy Cats", The Catillac Cats are dared into spending the night at a HauntedHouse.

** In the Catillacs segment "Kitten Around," Riff-Raff and Roxie turn entirely pale blue after they're given white vinegar to drink instead of water. Also, Mungo's face turns red briefly from heat after sampling tabasco sauce.

* CompanyCrossReferences: The show has had numerous references to ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'', another Creator/DiCEntertainment animated series from around the same time. Notable examples include Riff-Raff wearing Dr. Claw's spiked gloves in his mad scientist dream in "Monstro Vs. the Wolf Hound", with Hector as a detective wearing Inspector Gadget's gray trenchcoat and hat in the same dream, along with Dr. Mousetus in his self-titled episode using a cat laser device resembling M.A.D. Cat. Sometimes Gadget himself would appear on a TV or in a crowd scene. The second season of ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' would contain numerous references to ''Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats'' as well.

* DivideAndConquer: "Divide and Clobber" sees Leroy turning the cats against each other during one of his [[NotSoHarmlessVillain not so harmless]] moments. (Ted Ziegler played [[TalkingToHimself Leroy and Mungo]], so guess which one of the cats he mimicked first...?)

** Just in case the issue wasn't confused enough by some animals being the same height as the ''humans'' and all the non-anthro cats, dogs and other animals running around, a {{Flashback}} in ''"Debutante Ball"'' shows Cleo and her friend Muffy as non-anthro kittens... with Cleo still sporting a full head of blonde hair.

* WouldntHitAGirl: Invoked in the episode ''"Terrible Tammy"'': Tammy, a female cat who's trying to bully Heathcliff and take over his territory, uses a [[WoundedGazelleGambit conniving ploy]] on him, so he can't hit Tammy because his honor would be tarnished. In the end, he turns the tables on Tammy, and firmly states that [[MartialPacifist he will not fight her]], [[StandYourGround but he won't back down from Tammy]], either. His girlfriend, '''[[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Sonja]]''', however, doesn't have any qualms about giving Tammy a full-scale [[CurbStompBattle ass-kicking]], the kind that '''Heathcliff''' would usually dish out upon '''Spike''' the bulldog!
** The {{Irony}}? Hector, Wordsworth, Mungo, and Spike actually '''cheered on''' Heathcliff for standing his ground and Sonja dishing out the well-deserved ass-kicking to Tammy, [[MakesSenseInContext because they were bullied by Tammy, too]]!
