At first sight, you'd think these two would be CatDog's parents: they live in a town where cats and dogs (usually) got along and lived in harmony for over 50 years straight. They have "Dog" and "Cat" in their names. PussyCat has some of Cat's physical characteristics, and HoundDog has some of Dog's.
But guess what? They're Lube's parents! Yup, you read right! Lube's mother is a cat, and both of his parents are slack-jawed, country-singing yokels from Yokelburg. Surprise, surprise. Although it does explain a lot about Lube's utter stupidity, his parents are at least twice as smart as he is.
It is unknown what exactly Cliff and Shriek thought when they found out of Lube's parentage; according to Greaser rules, you have to be a dog... but it seems Lube is only half-dog! It doesn't seem to have voided his Greaser membership, though.
HoundDog and PussyCat are respective leaders of each half of their community-- HoundDog for the dogs, and PussyCat for the cats. It is unknown whether they are married due to their last names being different, but it may be certain that they are, as weddings are a big deal in Yokelburg (see Ellie Mae's profile). The two of them seem friendly enough on the surface, but after so many years of fighting their natural "cat-versus-dog" instincts, they have a LOT of tension ready to be unleashed. Whether the Yokelburg feud starts up again, or if they're dealing with a common enemy (like CatDog, after the Greasers claimed it was their fault for restarting the feud), they are downright nasty and cruel.
When they're not fighting and feuding, HoundDog and PussyCat love to sing together whilst sharing a banjo. Their favorite song - which is practically the anthem of Yokelburg - is called "Ain't No More," and it goes a little something like this:
(Friendly Version)
Well, we used to cuss and fight but ain't no more
We used to scratch and bite but ain't no more
We loved to chase you all about
We lived to claw your eyeballs out
We used to cuss and fight but ain't no more
We used to hate cat guts but ain't no more
We used to whoop dog butts but ain't no more
We loved to make you whine and cry
We longed to see you up and die
We used to cuss and fight but ain't no more
Ain't no more, ain't no more
We used to cuss and fight but ain't no more
We used to clomp you on your tail
Yank them whiskers 'till you wailed
We used to cuss and fight but ain't no more
We used to cuss and fight but ain't no more!
(Feuding Version)
Well, we used to get along but ain't no more
We sang that sappy song but ain't no more
We used to smile and be polite
But now we'd really rather fight
We used to get along but ain't no more
We used to be real nice but ain't no more
Even kissed you once or twice but ain't no more
The bestest friends you'd ever find
But now I'm whippin' your behind
We used to get along but ain't no more
Ain't no more, ain't no more
We used to act like friends but ain't no more
You must have had me hypnotized
But now I'm scratchin' out your eyes
We used to get along but ain't no more
We used to get along but ain't no more
And we'll fight like cats and dogs forever more!
