Henry's Cat / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
Henry's Cat / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: Creator Stan Hayward explained that the reason for the title character's name is that his owner, Henry, had moved away. The cat's terrible memory meant he forgot to go with him, and even forgot his own name before Henry's, leading him to simply term himself "Henry's Cat".

Henry's Cat / int_26d1f65f	comment	Verbal Tic: Henry's Cat often precedes his sentences with a nasal "Owwww". In the US dub he uses more feline-esque purrs and mews. Rum Baa-Baa often finishes his with a sheep bleat.

Henry's Cat / int_50b05d30	type	Disproportionate Retribution
Henry's Cat / int_50b05d30	comment	Disproportionate Retribution: Having Henry's Cat sent to prison all for the sake of unwittingly kicking down Farmer Giles' wall was rather heavy handed. If Farmer Giles had any heart, he would have merely made Henry's Cat rebuild the wall instead. It's a Running Gag that Rum-Baa-Baa inexplicably serves multiple life sentences ("or perhaps longer") for every scheme he commits, no matter what severity. He's still always back an episode or two later.

Henry's Cat / int_664bc28f	comment	British Brevity: Subverted with the first two seasons, though seasons three to five consisted of 4-6 episodes. The show lasted 51 episodes over 10 years, a rarity back then given BBC's notorious reliance on re-runing their one-season animated shows rather than renewing them for more episodes.

Henry's Cat / int_7c3c5a4e	comment	King Kong Copy: In the episode "The Lost World", Henry's Cat imagines himself as a Tarzan-esque Nature Hero defending the eponymous Lost World's denizens, the largest and fiercest of which is a gigantic blue gorilla that the narrator calls "King Kongo" (though when the name appears on screen, it's spelled as "King Konga" instead). Rum Baa Baa plays a Carl Denham-esque role in the episode, trying to capture King Kongo to exhibit him in a theatre. In the climax of the episode, King Kongo climbs a giant inflatable skyscraper while Rum Baa Baa fights him in a plane.

Henry's Cat / int_7ea2a915	comment	Animation Bump: The final Uncancelled season uses cel animation. While it still emulates the original marker style authentically, it leads to slightly more detailed animation. The backgrounds also tend to be more fully realised instead of the usual blank white backdrops (and sometimes even with Art Shift gags like photographs).
