What happens

Heathcliff (a.k.a. Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, known as Les Entrechats in French) is a children's animated television series that debuted on September 3, 1984. Produced by DIC Audiovisuel (and later DIC Enterprises), it was the second animated series based on the Heathcliff comic strip (after Ruby-Spears' Heathcliff from 1980). 65 half-hour episodes aired in first-run syndication in the fall of 1984, followed by a second season of 21 episodes in 1985. The show continued to air in syndication until 1988. The Catillac Cats characters (identified in the end credits as Cats and Co.) were created by Jean Chalopin and Bruno Bianchi. Mel Blanc, who provided the voice of Heathcliff in the Ruby-Spears series, reprised his role as the titular cat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
