7''Pakdam Pakdai'', also internationally known as ''Rat-a-Tat'', is an Indian {{Slapstick}} cartoon. It stars Don (Doggy Don), who has his days being ruined constantly by three mice in his house: the self-proclaimed and the most annoying and vicious leader Charly (Chhotu), followed by the ever-hungry BigEater Marly (Motu) and the least responsible joker Larry (Lambu)--so he attempts to get his revenge on them (and is sometimes helped by his brother, Colonel), but to no success. There's also a grumpy bulldog named Rox, [[RunningGag who will beat up anyone that accidentally breaks his precious things, or even his]] ''[[RunningGag entire house]]''.

9It first premiered in April 2013, and has a total of 78 episodes and 2 movies. Being an [[TheMockbuster "official Indian adaptation"]] of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' as confirmed by WordOfGod, it was also created after Nickelodeon India lost the rights to air ''Oggy'' in 2012.
