Space Cats is an animated series created by Paul Fusco, & produced by Marvel Animation that aired on NBC. It aired throughout NBC's Saturday morning block from September 14, 1991 to July 25, 1992. According to a now deleted YouTube comment, the show also aired on Channel 4 in the UK later on.

The show is about a bunch of alien felines from a planet called Trygliceride-7, who are then transported to a secret location by their new leader D.O.R.C. Every episode begins with Captain Catgut, the captain of the Space Cats talking about something important. D.O.R.C. would then show up to inform them of a mission to do. Afterwards, Tom, Scratch, & Sniff are taken to Earth to do the mission tasked.

NBC only aired 13 episodes of the series as they discontinued their Saturday morning block in 1992 to make room for TeeNBC. It has yet to see release on home video, & it's currently not on any digital streaming services. Only one episode is available online, but there are descriptions of some of the lost episodes on Wikipedia. While almost all websites with info about this show say that 13 episodes were produced, some have different names than others depending on the site, most likely meaning that there might've been more episodes produced that either only aired in foreign countries, didn't air in the USA until reruns in 1994(according to the video with that one episode), or simply never aired at all.

NBC had a comic collection released featuring several of their cartoons into comics, one of which was a Space Cats comic. One of the episodes might've been adapted into the comic, or was simply confused with the comic.[1] There's another episode about monuments where they're stolen instead of shrunk. No exact name has been given to this episode as of yet though. This 2nd monument episode was described on an Angelfire website.[2]

On July 6th of 2020, YouTube user TurdMan McQuack revealed that he had a bootleg DVD of Space Cats he bought from Mexico, but didn't know where he left it at. 2, & a half months later, it's revealed that it just had the one already found episode as well as other unrelated cartoons.

Toonarific has a few images from currently unidentified episodes, & a few more images from other unidentified episodes have appeared on other websites.[3] There's also an auction on Worthpoint for what claim to be the series bible, intro scripts, & original pilot scripts, with pictures to prove. The description says that it was originally made for Disney in 1984. Whether, or not this auction, or the pictures are actually real is currently a mystery.[4]

There is also a website that claims to have all the episodes to watch, but you have to be logged in to see them. These are most likely fake.
