So this is basically just a collection of episodes from the animated TV show. I remember liking it as a kid, but as an adult it doesn't really hold up. It's basically about how horrible Heathcliff is to everyone he meets, including his owners, his "friends" the alley cats, Spike the dog, some random cats who want to be in a cat food commercial, dogs and cats at a pet "obedience school" which is really a pet boot camp, two racist stereotype cats called the Siamese Twins (who take every opportunity to remind us of their name), a Marlon Brando-esque type called The Catfather, some wrestler cat that he defeats in the ring, and even his own father who is out on parole. Actually, how horrible must his father be to end up in jail, when Heathcliff can get away with all the awful stuff he does on a daily basis?
I don't know. Maybe kids would like it, but I'd recommend just reading the comic strip instead.
