Baby Puss is the prehistoric saber-tooth pet cat of the Flintstones, and a infrequent supporting character in the Flintstones animated franchise.

Although Baby Puss made tiny appearances in the original series, he may be best remembered for his appearance in the end credits to the third season when he would be brought out by Fred in the middle of the night, only for Baby Puss to get the upper hand and trap him outside of the house, leaving Fred to bang on the door for an unresponsive Wilma to answer.

Legacy

In "Can't Nap," an episode of the Dexter's Laboratory backup segment The Justice Friends, Krunk brings over the cat-like White Tiger to Muscular Arms for the night, which sets off Major Glory's allergies. He tries to get him to sleep out on the balcony, leading to a squabble between the two which mirrors Fred trying to get Baby Puss out of the Flintstone house at night. When White Tiger locks Major Glory out, he accidentally calls for Wilma instead of Krunk. Major Glory then flies away to find another way in, and Krunk answers the door dressed like Wilma.

In popular culture

Main article: List of pop culture references to Flintstones

• In The Fairly OddParents TV movie Channel Chasers (part 2 in syndication), Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda are sent into a parody of The Flintstones called The Meatflints. They live life like a "modern stone-age family" as Timmy puts it, and proceed to work the TV remote in typical Flintstones fashion with a tiny pterodactyl flying out to turn on the TV. Meanwhile, Cosmo disturbs a sleeping sabretooth tiger resembling Baby Puss with Dino's color scheme.
• In the Family Guy episode "Peter's Daughter," Fred takes Wilma to Mr. Stoneberg to get a legal separation for not letting him back in after Baby Puss removes him from their house and locks him outside. He had been knocking for 20 minutes and shouting "Wilma!" but she claims to not have heard because she was taking a shower, but he believes that she was simply ignoring him and goes on further about her spending all his money on expensive clothes and hairdos, and not being available for sex, the "passive-aggressive bitch" she is. Bergman and Alex Borstein are the voices Fred and Wilma, respectively.
• In The Ricky Gervais Show episode "Monkey" Karl Pilkington believes that humans and dinosaurs coexisted, which Ricky Gervais can't believe he's hearing, sarcastically asking if he had got this from watching Raquel Welch in the movie One Million Years B.C. Pilkington continues saying that there must've been a crossover point between cavemen owning dinosaurs as pets and regular people owning dogs, which Steve Merchant and Gervais make fun of him as they are convinced Pilkington was also influenced from having watched The Flintstones, accompanied by cartoon illustrations of Pilkington as Fred in Bedrock doing things that Fred would do like take out a saber tooth cat.
