History[]
The Straycatchers were first seen when they were capturing Puggsy and Frankie DaFlea in the alley and then they leave in their truck. They were seen again when they put Tom and Jerry one of the cages who have been bought by Pristine Figg. Later on, Tom, Jerry, Puggsy, Frankie DaFlea and the dogs escape knocking them out along with Dr. Applecheek. They arrived at Aunt Figg's house waiting in the truck. Dr. Applecheek blames the incident on Aunt Figg who denies it, but is willing to take the blame when she receives a call from Captain Kiddie. On the way to Captain Kiddie's carnival, Dr. Applecheek must get Robyn before Figg and the million Dollar reward bounty on Robyn will be his and he refuses to share to the Straycatchers for not getting rid of Tom and Jerry. The straycatchers throw Dr. Applecheek out and drive off as they laugh maniacally and abandon Dr. Applecheek, who yells at them to come back, and then he almost got ran over by Lickboot. They arrived at the carnival and they saw Robyn in Kiddie's ferris wheel. The straycatchers end up trapped in the ferris wheel. When Dr. Applecheek arrives as he uses an ice cream motorbike, the straycatchers called him to help them get down from the ferris wheel, but he betrays them, stating that “one good turn deserves another”, and he continues to chase Robyn, Tom and Jerry with Figg, Lickboot, and Kiddie. It is unknown what happened to the Straycatchers after that. However, it is was rumored they were arrested by the police.
