Cool Cat was a tiger (whose design was very similar to that of the Pink Panther, who first appeared four years earlier) who wore a stylish green beret and scarf. Unlike most other Looney Tunes characters, Cool Cat was unapologetically a product of his time. He spoke in 1960s-style beatnik slang and acted much like a stereotypical laid-back 1960s teenager - he was often seen strumming a guitar or travelling cross-country in his dune buggy. One cartoon -- McKimson's Bugged By A Bee -- depicted him as an alumnus of "Disco Tech" playing varsity football against the long-haired team from "Hippie University".

However, most of Cool Cat's cartoons dealt with his encounters with Colonel Rimfire (also voiced by Storch), a fussy, British-accented big-game hunter armed with a blunderbuss. Rimfire essentially acted as the Elmer Fudd to Cool Cat's Bugs Bunny, but was used only by Lovy.

Cool Cat made later appearances in the television series Sylvester and Tweety's Mysteries. He made brief cameos in most, if not all of the episodes, appearing on posters in the background, walking by in street scenes, etc.

One of the possible reasons why Cool Cat is not remembered as clearly and as fondly as his fellow Looney Tunes (aside from the fact that the overall quality of Looney Tunes cartoons had severely diminished by 1967) is because, unlike the others, he was designed to be contemporary. This meant that it didn't take long for his slang, mannerisms and overall design to become severely dated. Although characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck also use antiquated expressions, even to this day, their personalities are much broader, allowing them to remain entertaining decades later. However, some animation fans insist that Cool Cat's obsolete speech and dress actually make him funnier today than he was in his heyday; this, ultimately, is a matter of personal taste. Contemporary is an adjective which in its basic form merely means that two individuals, events or movements overlapped in time. ... Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. ...
