Behind the Scenes
- Top Cat bares some similarities to Hokey Wolf, who came the same year 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.
- According to a 1982 calendar, he was born on May 29.
- On British merchandising, he's called "Boss Cat" instead of "Top Cat" because of a popular British cat food with the same name as "Top Cat" during the time.
- Top Cat is very popular in Mexico under the name "Don Gato y su pandilla" (Mr Cat and his Gang), so much so that both Top Cat: The Movie and Top Cat Begins were produced by Mexican animation companies and was distributed by Warner Bros. Mexico.
