The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty

Like some others above, this cartoon was a little slice of my childhood I think about once in a while. I remember the year it came out (I was 11 years old) and I was a cat lover and I mostly watched it because I liked the cats, and deep down I thought the execution of the cartoon part was pretty cheesy though I liked the overall story line. The next season when I did not see it listed in TV guide I was very disappointed, but I had a feeling it was not going to be renewed.

Anyway, 35 years later I still remember the lyrics of the song:

I am Waldo Kitty, a meek and mild kind of cat

And I'm a daring hero, and I like being that

When I see a friend in need

I want to be a friend indeed

I just pretend and - suddenly

I'm anyone I want to be - a courageous kind of cat!

Then there was an instrumental interlude. I forget if there was a second verse or not, but I suspect there wasn't because if there was I probably would have remembered at least some of it.

This is a show I do not remember when I was young. Actually the show came out the year after I graduated high school and at that time I did not watch Saturday morning programs.

This show is on KTV every night at 7:00 pm without the commercials. I really enjoy the live action sequences. Having had cats all my life, I root for Waldo and Felicia and their friends Sparrow and Pronto. I have never seen cats be friends with birds and rabbits.

The animated sequences are not up to the live-action parts. But I must remember the show was for children not adults. I guess these jokes are to appeal to the adults who may be watching.

Still the live action sequences are very good, especially when Waldo gets the best of Tyrone the bull dog.

Remember the show is on KTV every night at 7:00 p.m. Tune in and form your own opinion.

My mother swore to me that I didn't imagine this show. I remember him getting shut in the garage when he got in trouble for something the dog did. Then he'd imagine he could fight back and he was a starship captain or Catzan or Catman! Felicia was his girlfriend and I think I remember the theme song. Something about "He's Waldo Kitty, a meek and mild kind of cat, but I'm a daring hero, and I like being that."

It was clever and very memorable. If it can stick in your head from 6 to 36, that's pretty well done. I recommend voting for it on tvshowsondvd.com

I'd love to have this for my kids.

Someone wrote about this show: "I thought my sister and I were the only ones watching it". Well, that applies to me too. Waldo Kitty is a distant childhood memory, so far removed I wondered for years if I dreamed it... and then, I looked it up on IMDb and couldn't help smiling. There it was: the song, the cat, the "Cat Enterprise" I remembered so well and felt so excited about ("Oh boy, a episode of Waldo Kitty in SPACE !").

Funny, as I watched the opening it all seemed so familiar, so immediate, so obvious. I had forgotten that there was a real live action cat, for instance, but of course there was... Why else would my sister and I love this show so much if it hadn't been for a real cat? (We had a cat back then, which probably explains a lot....)

Anyway, 7 out of 10 for sheer nostalgic fun.

When I was six years old, I remember this show called "The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty" in which it involved the hero feline, his love and the big bad bulldog. The series begin in live action and then switch to animation and back to live action. If there is anyone out there that remember this show please make your comments. I really love this show so much that I do recall one episode when Waldo Kitty was daydreaming as "Catman" with a partner who was a bird called "Robin". Well towards the end of the animated part he (Waldo) does some really ingenious ways of defeating the bulldog when it shifts back to live action. Ah to be six years old again.
