I saw Feral in "Enter the Madkat" today, and posturing to himself in that little
apartment of his while slamming the Kat-guys simultaneously kinda brought up
an image of the Tedster in roughly the same circumstances (though there'd be
the scent of Cotton in the air, I'd imagine).

Anyone recognize the voice for Lenny Ringtail/Madkat? It's Roddy McDowall,
who started off life as a kid-actor in 40's propaganda flicks, and moved on to
do things like a number of the "Planet of the Apes" efforts including the short-lived
TV series from the mid-seventies. Roddy likes the role of voice-artist nowadays,
having done the deed for a number of characters recently, most notably
 "The Mad Hatter" in Warners' "Batman: The Animated Series". I imagine he's getting
on a bit, but I put him in the same voice-actor category as David Warner: buckets of fun to
listen to, and capable of lending a certain something to a semi-symphathetic villain
(like D.Warner's Rha's Al Ghul from BTAS) that many others can't.

The original credit roll for "Enter The Madkat" was actually the list meant for another
episode, so McDowall's role went unattributed. The story goes that no one over there
noticed until one of the fans called up to point out the error, and the second run
of the ep hit air with the proper credits!
