“…long tails and ears for hats!
Guitars and sharps and flats!
Neat, sweet and groovy song!
You’re invited! Come along!”

What more could any red blooded American boy want in a Saturday morning matinée? So, the lip-synching was a little off, and their conversational and musical mews never quite matched – so what?

Those chase tracks (for the inevitable escape today’s bad guy scenes) were spun by a real live all-girl band engaged by Hanna-Barbera just for show. They even cut an album, now worth its weight in vinyl gold.

Following a failed relaunch into “…Outer Space”, the ‘Cats finally landed a syndicated gig on various local channels as an intermittent re-run. And the band disbanded.

But on the prowl for a new Angel, Charlie recruited pretty kitty Cheryl Ladd to fill-out a different sort of mystery meddling trio. With or without Farrah, girl watchin’ at the Townsend Agency provided a lovely distraction from the show’s completely unnecessary plot and storyline.

Still, the lovely ladies lacked very little except a leopard-skinned girl band to cover their chase tracks with “Every Beat of My Heart”.

In their own way, all the curious kittens were more alike than not: Adorably innocent, delightfully vulnerable, and downright beautiful. And just as unlike as their unwatchable babe-less remakes. Yeah, no mystery there.

Hmmm… skimpy tambourine’d Angels groovin’ to their own chase tunes.
