Dog City
While the gang in MuppeTelevision were looking for their reel of the movie, the All Dog Network (ADN) aired footage of the behind the scenes of Dog City. The narrator started with the stunt dog, an imported player who's role is often over looked. However, the stunt dog took off his mask it turned out to be a cat, much to the narrator's surprise. According to the cat, most of the stunt dogs are cats and that the whole cats & dogs conflict is a myth, or so he believed. It was shown that the feeling wasn't mutual with the dogs on the crew as 2 of them (a bull dog & another that was used for the character Mad Dog) frequently abused the cat during the stunts without him suspecting anything. They hit him with a sledge hammer when they were supposed to use a little one, moved the mattress that was supposed to break his fall when jumped out of a window, and flattened him like a pancake with a steamroller. As far as the cat believed, they were all buddies.

The Muppet Christmas Carol
The puppet for the stunt cat was later used for an unnamed cat in The Muppet Christmas Carol. When the ghost of Christmas Past took Scrooge to the past, Gonzo & Rizzo the Rat stowed away with them by rope. During the journey into the past, Gonzo & Rizzo kept bumping into things. When they landed at the sight of Scrooge's old school grounds, Rizzo thought the worst was over until he was immediately confronted by a cat that started chasing him all over. Gonzo told him to quit playing with the cat, but when it wouldn't leave Rizzo alone he led him into the school and shut the door right onto the cat causing it to faint backwards.
