Klondike Kat is an anthropomorphic wild cat member of the Klondike Kops a parody of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His commanding officer was Major Minor, and he was stationed at Fort Frazzle in the Yukon.Klondike was always pursuing a mouse with a French accent named Savoir Fare, who had an appreciation of gourmet food. The mouse had a loyal Malamutt who pulled Savior Fare in a dog sled. Klondike Kat's catchphrase was “I'm gonna make mincemeat out of that mouse!”
