Heathcliff is an American-Canadian-French cartoon series created in 1984. Based off of the Heathcliff newspaper comics, the series follows the titular tabby cat Heathcliff on his many mischievous adventures. Every episode of Heathcliff also contains a segment starring the Catillac Cats, a group of junkyard cats (along with the guard dog Leroy) led by Riff-Raff, who usually scheme to get rich.

Rebel Without a Claws (S01E04a)

Tracer puffs himself up with air to mimic Heathcliff.

For the Birds (S01E09b)

After a few attempts to sneak into a bird sanctuary, Riff-Raff uses a wooden reed to sneak under a duck pond. After being caught, the mother duck blows into the reed, inflating Riff-Raff, and tickles him until he deflates like a balloon.

Puppy Size (S01E09c)

In the Pet Tips portion of the show, Heathcliff explains how important it is to know just how big a puppy will get over time, illustrated with a dog rapidly growing as big as a house.

Kitten Smitten (S01E25a)

Heathcliff and a young kitten steal some milk from the milkman, which the kitten ends up drinking all by himself.

Young Cat With a Horn (S01E25b)

Tired of not being able to find good food, the Catillac Cats seek out Professor Blix for help. Blix invents an instrument that can attract all the fish they can eat, which Hector steals for himself.

Condo Fever (S01E27b)

In an attempt to impress Cleo, Riff-Raff builds a cat condo in the junkyard. Leroy attempts to destroy it, but ends up flattened by part of the condo. Riff-Raff over-inflates Leroy, causing him to rocket off.

People Food (S02E15c)

In the Pet Tips portion of the show, a boy and his dog get sick after mimicking Heathcliff's eating habits as Heathcliff himself goes on to explain that too much human food is not good for pets.
