Shit, that's right, it's "Mark." Stupid typo. He's not a British pop singer!
I love how you called her both Pussyfoot and Cleo. There's contention about her real name (also, it is a she, isn't it?)! I've always gone for Pussyfoot, but Cleo has some wonderful connotations with Mark Anthony, doesn't it?
My father and I must have watched this cartoon a couple dozen times over twenty years, and every single time, we both got choked up during that whole sequence. It's where he puts the cookie on his back that kills me. KILLS me. I've never before or since sobbed while gaping for laughter.
Haha, I didn't even notice the Marc/Mark thing, 'Mark' is just my default.
Well, in the cartoon you linked it's referred to as 'he,' but yeah, I always assumed the kitten was female. I tend to go for Cleo, but only because I didn't know the kitten even had a name until reading about it on wiki a few years ago, and, being the Classics nerd that I am, I was totally charmed by 'Mark Anthony and Cleo.'
Poor traumatized Mark Anthony, nothing pulls off 'completely wretched' quite like a cartoon bulldog.

Mark Anthony and Pussyfoot/Cleo cartoons were a lot of fun, but I could never laugh at poor Mark Anthony during that cookie segment.
