The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse was a children's cartoon television show produced by Trans-Artists Productions that was syndicated by Tele Features Inc. in 1960. The characters were created by Bob Kane as a parody of his earlier works Batman and Robin and in many ways predict the more campy aspects of the later live action series.

In the animated series, the pair are anthropomorphic animal superheroes without secret identities (the green-eyed caped crimefighter and his squeaky-voiced sidekick are usually addressed as simply "Courageous" and "Minute") who live in the Cat Cave and, when summoned via the Cat Signal over their television set, race to the scene of the crime in their sleekly feline red Cat Mobile which can convert into both the extendable-winged Cat Plane and submersible Cat Boat and thwart the criminal plots of various villains who threaten Empire City by using either Courageous Cat's all-purpose Cat Gun or a vast variety of different deus ex machina "trick guns" he pulls out of his cape that, like Green Arrow's trick arrows, fire whatever the situation requires be it rope, water, a parachute, cages, boxing gloves, lightning-like magnetic rays or even more bizarre ammunition and even the occasional actual bullet (in case of emergency Courageous also has extra pre-James Bond secret gadgets hidden in his belt buckle and the star emblem on his chest).
