Cats
Posted by shanoah on April 17, 2008
For today, I have two animations about cats, both of which were featured on Sesame Street in their day, though neither has any muppets or anything to distinguish their origin. And both strike me as fairly entertaining.
And do you notice that the meow at the end of the first one sounds like the same audio clip as the meow near the beginning of the second?
The Curious Cat
This one just has a certain groove factor to it. And, of course, I rather like the way the cat smirks. Reminds me of Shel Silverstein, somehow. The animation is by Michael Sporn.
The Hungry Cat
This one’s one I still remember as being hilarious. Poor desperate kitty cat. 
Annoyingly enough, the better quality copy of this got removed, so I had to hunt up another one. The animation on this is by Dan Haskett.

Thanks for posting my Sesame Street spot, “The Curious Cat.” The meow is probably the same; they both came from an effects library. The music in my spot was written and sung by Jeremy Steig, a well known jazz flutist who was also the son of cartoonist, William Steig.
