Eek! The Cat 

Eek! The Cat (retitled Eek! Stravaganza in 1994) is an a cartoon,created by Steve Holland & Bill Kopp aired on Fox Kids and Savage Studios with animation by Nelvana. It ran from September 11, 1992 – August 1, 1997 on Saturday Morning Fox Kids ,

YTV from 1992 to 1998 in Canada.

Eek! the Cat is about a purple cat named Eek, living in the city of McTropolis, whose motto is "it never hurts to help". This attitude generally gets him into trouble, from which much of the humor of the show is derived. Other characters include Eek's human family, with whom he cannot talk to via spoken language; Sharky the Sharkdog (his worst nightmare), and Eek's girlfriend, Annabelle
Eek always puts others' safety, needs, and comfort before his own. Eek can talk with all animals and most humans, but oddly enough cannot talk with his owners.

He often exclaims "Kumbaya!" His motto is "It never hurts to help!", although with Eek this is rarely the case. The major running gag within the show is that Eek's selfless nature usually gets him in painful situations such as getting caught in mail and baggage sorters (both of which appear designed to intentionally damage their contents) and screaming "Oh Gosh It Hurts!" while the show's guitar riff theme played. Despite his misfortunes, episodes usually end with Eek rewarded in a way after he faces the adversity squarely and is selfless towards others.
