Why...why do I need to know this... Rational part of me: Cos Film Theory made a vid on it

The real question is, how does the Cat-Dog poop??

I can't believe you made this whole video without asking the question *every* kids asked: How does it poop?

Even if the two animals' immune systems would accept each other, there's no way that creature would live very long. The digestive system wouldn't work. There's no way to eliminate waste.

If you want a cat-dog just travel back in time and pick up a Dormaalocyon latouri (the ancestor of both. Also the ancestor to weasles, raccons, bears, seals, sealions walruses, and hyenas) Also as Hyenas look like canids but are a member of feliformia they could count as cat-dogs

No one: Not a soul: Dog’s DNA: *Screams At Bacteriophage Mailman*

Technically, the only real world animal that is even remotely similar to a cat-dog, is a fox

You forgot to mention how catdog has to poo - deciding whether to go to the litter-box or the neighbor’s lawn is the least of all concerns.

There was a German scientist who fused two dogs together. So it's in Thoery possible but that also brings up nutrition questions. Cats and dogs have very different diets. So while it might be possible fuse things like stomach or nerves if they similar enough it might hit a wall as you have to try account for diet. Cats are more carnivorous than dogs.

MatPat: I REFUSE to microwave a cat in kindergarten 2. Also MatPat: Let's fuse a Cat and a dog

*Boomers:* the newer generations spend to much time inventing things that nobody needs... they should learn from the older generations *Older generations:* _[Designs cat piano]_

The nostalgia is so real with that Vrv plug! In addition to the cartoons, Nick Arcade, Guts, and Legends of the Hidden Temple! I personally always rooted for the Blue Barracudas purely because my favorite color is blue. And I actually know another Matt who was actually a contestant on the show! He was a Green Monkey, and he still has the shirt!

Its Feb 2024 and ever since MatPat announced his retirement, I've been binge watching all old episodes especially the ones that still use the into theme song. We will miss you MatPat!

Meanwhile, in another universe... "How to split the CATDOG?!?! The science BEHIND it!" PatMat.

You taught me genetics two years before my science teacher

Thanks for the scroll warning but that pug-cat thing is forever burned in my brain. The other ones were less terrifying for some reason, perhaps because I've already seen them. 😆

He didn't attach them, he found someone who had it and tried to buy it for years and finally made them give in. It's a really interesting story. I'm perfectly okay with just the cartoon.

this video as a convo would be this: Matpat: Ey, guess if its possible to make a Catdog! Me: ehm, probably not Matpat: yes. Me: Matpat: Me: Matpat: Me: WHY DO YOU TELL ME THIS Matpat: I ALREADY WASTED A MONTH ON THE RESEARCH, I HAD TO TELL SOMEBODY

If you were somehow able to make fully working, functional time machine and you go back in time to when cats and dogs were fully evolved but their DNA were still closely related just enough to be able to make a hybrid then maybe you could get a CatDog that was or maybe of you were able to make a machine that allowed you to fuse ANYTHING together (no matter if it's an object or DNA) then you could grab either dog DNA or entire dog and either cat DNA or an entire cat, put them into the machine and fuse them together like that to get a CatDog like that, but you'd have to be like Rick Sanchez level of smart to do that

This channel is enough for me since it is not boring or way too mature.

Theory: Catdog is a cat and dog stuffed animal stitched together that has Toy Story powers.

"And sometimes, instead of sewing the button back onto the shirt, they light the shirt on fire and cover it in thumbtacks, and that is how you end up with an eight-legged spider-sheep." -MatPat

that beginning was so smooth!

Technically, hyenas are a literal cat-dog, or more like a dog-cat. They are part of the feliform suborder, making them more closely related to cats, but they convergently evolved many anatomical and behavioral traits that resemble those of canines.

Fun fact, Killer Whales aren’t actually whales, they are a type of dolphins! Which means they bred a dolphin with a slightly more aggressive dolphins.

I have an amazing idea: What if you do a film theory about the movie Up and find out how many balloons he would need to actually lift himself off the ground and if the movie is accurate. And if you want to take it a step further, you could find out how much the balloons would cost? Guys if you like this idea, like it so it can get to the top and he could do a video on it :D

0:16 love the lucidchart reference

Just came back from watching Rocko's modern life and it's pretty good once you get used to some of the adult humor and jokes and not to mention the announcement of him joining Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, but otherwise the show still holds up.

Some random dude: "How do they poop?" Me at 3 AM: *I don't need to sleep,I need answers!*

0:41 Yes, there are episodes where SpongeBob uses himself to clean things and a live-action segment in Suds where he’s used as a real sponge.

To be honest, even though I am young I did grow up watching this one CD of Rocko's Modern life and I basically lived off that. It's a wonderful show and it's sad to see that they don't make shows like that anymore and or they just make crappy sequels to them and it breaks my heart so much.

This is what I choose to fall asleep to. I don’t need podcasts or music, I watch this. At 3 in the morning.

Spider lamb Spider lamb Does whatever a spider lamb can

What did we learn today? Don't go to MattPatt's dry cleaner

5:33 we literally watched that at school during our specials, music, and seeing it again is just crazy and unexpected

How catdog poops: one poops, the other throws up the poop from its mouth

The real question is how the cat dog poops

You worry me Matpat. You worry me. I never considered a future where people sold the DNA of a celebrity's pet, but now I can't see a future where that doesn't happen. *shudders

Film theory, the show you watch to know what to binge each week

Well now the happiest part of the weekend is it going on my phone and watching your channels

Spider lamb Spider lamb Does whatever a spider lamb does

To anyone wondering why James wasn't mentioned He doesn't animate with flash

Speaking of Rocko's Modern Life can you do a theory about that? Would love to see it!

Only when the intro play did I realise in the 5 years this video has been online, I only came across it now.

I'm surprised, Matt, that you didn't touch on how evolution alone has already sorta created the closet thing we're gonna get to Catdogs: Foxes and Hyenas. They're what happens when each family tries to fill in the niche of an environment that's lacking the other. Basically, Foxes are dogs (canines) that decided they should cat and evolved in order to better cat, and Hyenas are cats (felines) that decided they should dog, and thus evolved in order to better dog.

so i basically watched a 16 minute ad, but if its film theory ill take it

I remember when you made a video that the cc said *epic music that every theorist bangs their head to* BEST THING EVER

Fox: "Am I a joke to you? I'm both feline and canine, so what?"

"An extra chromosome aint gonna rock the boat" *are you sure about that*

But more importantly: how do they go to toilet?

i remember when i was little i watched a cartoon about a cat-dog, it showed the cat and dog being conjoined by a surgery,then it showed the cat-dog dying and turning darker and rotting,and i dont think ANYONE else remembers that cartoon,it it possible for your brain to make things up? i swear to god i remember that cartoon

The intro never gets old

“Let’s make a catdog!” **imagines it** LETS NOT :D

Genie: You only have 1 wish. What shall it be? Immortality? Wealth? Lo- I want a catdog. Genie: A, what? Cat... Catdo- err screw it. catdog is born

well- there are "cat-dogs" out there, but its not the children of actual cats and dogs, its either cats that look alot like dogs, or dogs that look like cats. Yes its still either a dog or cat, but if you REALLY want a cat-dog that might be something that ur looking for

Hold on a second. So, I know you can't fuse them together after birth, or breed em, or irradiate em. But, here's a hypothetical, what if they're really one organism. People have theorised about making their own creatures without other genes splicing. What if they used inspiration from dog and cat, created the DNA themselves without splicing, and then grew it in a lab jurassic park style?

Hey I know this won’t get popular, however I felt like someone had to say this. As many of you know Stefán Karl Stefánsson died on August 21, 2018. I was thinking, that I’m his honor you should do a video about Lazy Town. You could do something about how much Sportacus’s blimp costs or how the town is able to survive with as few people as it has. I would really love it if you were able to do something like this. I know this will get lost in the comments, but if you would like to see this video please like this so he can see. Thanks so much.

Speaking of Nick shows, do a theory on what the Krabby Patty secret formula is!

HOW TOO MAKE A CATDOG: What you need: Film theory A nickelodeon show How to make: Get a bowl And a whisk Put the Nick show and the Film Theory in the bowl Mix Keep mixing DONE!!!!! Good job!

Matpat I was thinking, how come you haven't done a theory on Barney? There has to be something weird about the show, most kids shows do. Or have you already done one and I can't find it? Either way I love your videos. So entertaining

FBI: *notification* What's the new video, Jim? JIM: Now, he talking about mixing genes between dogs and cats.. When are we gonna jail him? FBI: Give him time, Jim.. Give him time.

before i watch this just wanna say one thing *PETA IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR*

We will miss you matpat 🫡🫡🫡

I'm 16, but even in my childhood CatDog Existed- I remember in one episode they wanted to do their own things and Wanted to have their own life and it kinda never made sense to me but now I think it was sad,

King Philip Came Over For Green Soup That’s what we learned

I’m not a 90’s kid but....I LOVED THOSE SHOWS 😭😭

Matpat: scroll down to avoid seeing these. Me:Screenshots all of them

I will be sitting down in my room doing nothing but watching at least 10 episodes a day of cat dog just sitting in my room eating freaking snacks

Step 1. Get a sewing kit Step 2. Realise you're a psychopath

We’ve just been tricked into watching a 16 minute video to find out something we already know... that cat-dogs are impossible. Well played MatPat... well played.

I learned about wholpins and ligers in school, but that's cause I always read the zoobooks and they had some pretty cool ones at my library.

If you have captions on while the intro is playing you see an amazing intro

* me the whole video * don't go human centipede, don't go human centipede * 12:08 * *screms*

Hey MatPat, how about instead of cloning your cat as merch... you just make a plush of Skip as a financial compromise. I mean I get it if you don't want to, or if by commenting this I just sound crazy/ like I don't get that you're making a joke...yet think about it, I mean you'll have to get Skip's approval first... yet still.

I love how the Full House living room is used as the background at the 8:15 moment. :-)

For anyone thinking they poop by throwing up, that’s not true. The digestive tract functions as a one-way pass out of the tunnel. Most food is digested in the small intestine so the stomach from both or either side will empty into their respective small intestine. The smooth (involuntary) muscles that push food “down and out” CANNOT push food back up. It will attempt to empty into the other’s digestive tract but the other’s tract can’t push the food up either. The dog or cat head will only throw up if the fecal matter has started filling the stomach, which is inevitable. Eventually the intestines will rupture and both animals will die. It is a gruesome, horrifying death full of nothing but suffering.

This question was always answered because we have fox

5:42 Are you trying to tell me.. The fake mermaid from Gravity Falls was a _real thing???_

There was this awesome video called "Scientifically accurate Cat-Dog" that sums up the last section of the video pretty good xD

Can we just say the matpat make the best intros?

Patreon reward: $25,000 tier Get a cat clone mailed to you. $20,000 for the cloning, $5,000 for shipping, handling, and other expenses

I thought the two heads and no butt was the dead giveaway that it wasn't possible...

Now people are going to be like “Yup ur animal kingdom is old. It doesn’t have a kippy or a mule,yup sorry!”

I wish you could do a theory on cabbits (which is from the anime tenchi muyo series) but from my understanding cabbits are also impossible to be a thing in real life ;-; but still would love to see a theory on it ethier way

Dear MatPat, Stephanie, Austin, Gaijin Goombah and any and all other members of the Game Theorists that I forgot/don't know about, Hi! It's me! Isaac! I realize that wording it that way makes it seem like we've interacted in some way before, but really I just wanted to make a reference to how Austin does all of his videos. In fact, I'll be putting in a few more references, so keep an eye out for them! (A clap and a half to any theorist who spots them all). Anyway, getting on topic, this is the first KZfaq comment I’ve ever written and I’m writing it because I have a HUGE favour to ask. Like, the number of possible Mario Maker levels to the power of the cost of building a Death Star multiplied by the number of digits in pi huge. I have a game that I've loved for a long time, but I’ve always had trouble putting the lore together, so I decided to ask some professionals. Since I couldn't find any, I'll ask you guys instead. (Kidding!) The game in question is by the same people who created the "Kingdom Hearts" series. The characters in the game have appeared as side characters in one or more “Kingdom Hearts” games (I’m not sure which one/ones), but I want to know what actually happens in the game that focuses on THEIR story, called "The World Ends With You" (original Japanese title; "It's A Wonderful World"). The gameplay itself is fairly straightforward, and makes full use of the Nintendo DS’s features, such as battling across both screens and using the touchscreen really well for literally everything you do from battle to dialogue to using the menu. Additionally, there’s now a remake for iPhones called “The World Ends With You; Solo Remix”, but I haven’t played that, so I don’t know the differences, if there are any. (Also, there’s another remake on the way for the Nintendo Switch. “The World Ends With You: Final Remix”.) Unfortunately, the lore makes NO GOD DAMN SENSE to me. It’s like Scott Cawthon and Toby Fox teamed up to make the rageiest lore they possibly could. Or at least, that’s what it feels like for me. Except, they weren’t on the gaming scene at the time, so maybe that analogy doesn’t work… I dunno… Anyway, please, please, PLEASE, for the love of all that is cold, sweet and hard to flip (and may or may not sound like “Riot Smoke”) help me with this issue or I swear to Moana I will copy this into the comments section of every Game Theory, Film Theory and GT Live video you guys post until I see it happen! Sincerely, Isaac. P.S. I realize that it’s unlikely that this will get noticed in the KZfaq comments, but I’m not on any social media sites and I don’t know the GT email address, so this is my only chance. If anyone can help me I would be IMMENSELY appreciative. Thanks.

3:54 MATPAT: You can have a Skip of your very own!! ME: *I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!!*

I grew up in the 90' and early 2000's I miss these old shows, and if I one day have a family I'll do what I can to get the them to show my kids

7:49 What Matpat says: Common ancestors for cats and dogs exsisted about 70 million years ago What i hear: Catdogs exsisted about 70 million years ago

The most likely option for CatDog existing and the show is being sewn together after both animals being tranquilized or unconscious because when it shows in the opening of the show they both woke up and try to run away from each other so they were both in an unfamiliar situation and the cat and dog wouldn't have been aggressive to each other if they were together from the beginning of their life.

We DO have a cat dog My cat. She eats shoes, chews up rugs, throws food EVERYWHERE, drags shirts over puke just to be annoying to me, she also keeps biting me, and she loves having her belly rubbed.

Even if it was possible to connect both a Cat and a Dog like the show, where would it let out waste product? I swear this keeps me up at night.

First, "With the berries"? I thought we had something, man. Cap'n Crunch needs none o' that fruity nons'nse. Also, "Scruff McGruff, Chicago, Illinois 60652." "Take a BITE out of crime." Great video!

You didn’t consider the possibility that “cat dog” weren’t actually a cat and a dog. Sure they may look like a cat and a dog they also look VERY similar, they have the same fur color+pattern and they have similar shaped eyes, noses, and legs. They could possibly be a totally different species from some alien planet and they could be a very closely related species. They could be named “catdog” because they LOOK like a cat and dog. I know this probably isn’t true but I thought I was a cool idea.

The pictures of the mutated animals weren't that bad. I was expecting some horrible and creepy monster thing lol!!

Catdog could work if you were to genetically engineer a double-headed cat that divides in the middle, and slowly separate the halves over many genetic trials, and even phase out a rear, which would cause VERY many issues. But, for the sake of the argument, after that you could slowly genetically modify one of the heads to feature dog characteristics, including a separate gene set for the individual heads. finally, you can probably somehow change the development of one of the brains to have the dog head feature a dog brain. This could all be done with the help of viewing and understanding both the cat and dog gene code. With that, and many many years, you could make a catdog. But only in theory: in film theory!

the catdog theme song suggests that they were born conjoined, but that they’re the only ones like that…”alone in the world”

Y’know? When I saw pictures of this show when I was younger (I didn’t watch the whole thing) I would always wonder...... HOW DID IT POOP?!?!

Ummm.... *what about dark magic?*

I watched Rocko's Modern Life as a kid in the 90's. And a parent watching it now could be forgiven for thinking it was made for adults. I remember the whole thing being more than a little demented.

10:16 honestly the logo of the whateverthenameofthecompanyis look like the apeture science logo, just something i noticed
