Development

Behind the Scenes

  • Top Cat bares some similarities to Hokey Wolf, who also came in 1961, because both create schemes to get what they want and both have similar voices, despite them being voiced by two different people.
    • Although interestingly enough, Daws Butler represented the voice of Top Cat in the TV movie Yogi's Ark Lark, pilot of the Yogi's Gang TV series, as Arnold Stang wasn't available at the time. Since Daws was using a similar-sounding voice to Hokey, Hokey had no dialogue in the film, and this issue could have also been the main reason Top Cat didn't appear for the series.
  • He was born on May 29.
