What happens

Cool Cat is a 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Looney Tunes animated cartoon directed by Alex Lovy. The cartoon was released on October 14, 1967, and introduced the series' final star, Cool Cat. It marked a major change of direction for the then recently reformed Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation, as the first cartoon in a long time to introduce a new major character (virtually every Looney Tunes cartoon made in the previous three years had featured Daffy Duck versus Speedy Gonzales, or Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner). Cool Cat would go on to be the studio's most prolific character between then and the studio's final shutdown in 1969. It was also the first cartoon to feature the redesigned opening and closing titles with the "W7" logo, and a new version of the opening theme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
