Did you know
- TriviaEach story featured a dream sequence in which Waldo would imagine himself to be a famous hero, such as Catzan (Tarzan), Catman and Sparrow (Batman and Robin), The Lone Kitty (The Lone Ranger), Robin Cat (Robin Hood) and Cat Trek (Star Trek). This kind of spoof was deemed acceptable as long as an entire series is not built solely on the same concept. However, the James Thurber estate instituted legal proceedings against Filmation for infringing on the copyrights of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947). As a result, when the series was rerun as part of "The Groovie Goolies and Friends", the title was changed to "The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty" and each show's wraparound segments in which a live action cat would start to dream were removed.

A lost slice of my youth!
This series is a lost slice of my youth. It's been so long since I've seen it, I thought only my sister and I were the only people in the world who HAVE seen it. As a kid, I never missed 'Waldo Kitty' - in fact up until now I had no idea there were only 13 episodes. For the many who never saw it each episode started out in live-action, usually with our hero cat being put into a seemingly inescapable situation by the local dog. He would then imaging (via voice-over) that he was a hero of some sort who would easily deal with his situation. It would then go into a cartoon where Waldo was that imagined character. I remember bits and pieces of the shows, but one stands out. It was a clever 'Star Trek' parody. To this day I still smile when I recall the 'Tunnel Of Glove' sequence! It's a shame there are so few episodes - this makes it unlikely that it will ever be issued on video, and less likely it will be rerun. But it will always hold a place in my heart! Long live Waldo Kitty!
