No one knows where they came from, or how they were born as conjoined twins. Are they mutants? Space aliens? A science experiment gone wrong? Just plain ol' freaks? All we know for certain about CatDog is this: they're interesting enough separately, but together they make one heck of a team!
As far as Cat, Dog, or anyone else knows, they are the only "bicranial quadruped" in the entire world. For this, CatDog is normally looked upon as a freak, a mistake of nature, a disgrace to felinedom / caninedom, a scapegoat, and many other negative labels. This often gets to Cat, but Dog barely notices the things that people say. This makes Cat the pessimist of the duo, while Dog is the optimist. Cat is also the dissatisfied one who schemes to make their lives better, but since Dog is so happy he likes things just the way they are. This alone can cause a conflict between them, but most of the time, Dog backs up Cat on all his decisions and helps him with all of his plans, no matter how crazy they are-- Dog cares more about Cat's happiness than his own. Sadly, Dog never notices that Cat is pretty selfish... but deep down, Cat loves Dog as much as Dog loves him, and when Dog's in trouble, Cat will always pull through.
Being born connected may cause them to fight a lot - after all, no team is perfect! -, but in the end, Cat and Dog manage to live their lives happily through compromise and cooperation... they can never solve their problems without each other's guidance and support. In every sense of the idea, they cannot live without each other. And really, would we have it any other way? ;)

Even though Cat would rather take a nap than play sports, he and Dog make quite a team!
He's My Brother...
Having your brother attached to you is good and bad-- at the same time!
Cat hates...
that Dog chases the mailman and rips the seat off his pants.
Mailmen are afraid to deliver Cat's mail - which may include a savory whitefish chub from the Fish-of-the-Month Club.
Cat loves...
that Dog does all the hard work-- even though it's usually one of Cat's crazy ideas!
Whether Dog is in training for an Idigadog sledding competition, or "pumping up" to fight the Greasers, he's always putting in the effort, even if the plan backfires-- in a huge way!
Cat hates...
how much Dog can eat.
Dog will keep on eating and eating until he makes both himself and Cat sick. In a dance contest once, Dog ate everything in sight, including the band-- and their trophy!
Dog hates...
that Cat hates water.
Thank goodness for Cat's specially designed wet suit!
Dog also hates...
when Cat doesn't want to play or go outside.
Cat would rather lay in the sun or write in his diary than play fetch and chase a truck.
Dog loves...
that Cat puts up with all of his messy habits, like rolling in cow pies or tracking mud in the house.
Dog knows that in the end, Cat loves Dog just the way he is!
What's Doin'?
CatDog does lots of stuff all day. If you were CatDog, this is how you'd spend your time:
One fine day, with a woof and a purr,
A baby was born, and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog,
Just a feline-canine little CatDog
CatDog... CatDog
Alone in the world is a little CatDog
A lunatic dog, and a frustrated cat,
Opposite this and opposite that,
An internal struggle for two-in-one brothers,
Scratchin' and bitin' and lovin' each other
CatDog... CatDog
Nothing in the world like a little CatDog
CatDog (CatDog)
CatDog (CatDog)
Nothing in the world like a little CatDog
Over the river and through the muck,
Hot on the trail of the garbage truck
Friends to the end through good and bad weather,
But life is complicated when you're ALWAYS TOGETHER!
CatDog... CatDog
Nothing in the world like a little CatDog
Out on the road, or back in town,
All kinds of critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it, gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together, gotta sing this song
CatDog... CatDog
Alone in the world is a little CatDog
CatDog... CatDog
Alone in the world is a little CatDog
CatDog (CatDog)
CatDog (CatDog)
Alone in the world is a little CatDog
