NEW YORK, NY (April 10th, 2026) – In a landmark moment for ‘90s pop culture and Nickelodeon fans everywhere, Republic Records: Kids & Family, in partnership with Nickelodeon, proudly unveils the first-ever official release of the “CatDog Theme Song,” available on all streaming platforms today—listen HERE. For the first time since its original debut, the instantly recognizable theme song from one of Nickelodeon’s most beloved and culturally iconic animated series is being released on digital streaming platforms, bringing a defining anthem of the golden era of Nicktoons to longtime fans and a new generation alike.
Originally debuting in 1998, CatDog became a staple of late-‘90s kids television, capturing audiences with its surreal humor, unforgettable characters, and one-of-a-kind premise. The show’s theme song—an energetic, wildly catchy introduction to “one fine day with a woof and a purr”—quickly cemented itself as one of the most enduring and recognizable TV themes of its time. Now, decades later, the “CatDog Theme Song” is finally available to stream, marking a major cultural moment as nostalgic millennial audiences reconnect with a core piece of their childhood while introducing the iconic track to younger listeners.
“This release represents exactly the kind of culturally significant moment we strive to create,” said Bree Bowles, Senior Vice President, Republic Records: Kids & Family. “The ‘CatDog Theme Song’ is a true piece of pop culture, instantly recognizable and tied to so many people’s childhoods. Bringing it to streaming for the first time is long overdue, and we’re proud to partner with Nickelodeon to finally give it the global reach it deserves while introducing it to a whole new generation.”
“Music has always been a core part of how Nickelodeon connects with audiences, and the ‘CatDog Theme Song’ is one of those rare records that has lived on well beyond the show itself,” said Anita Chinkes Ratner, Executive Vice President, TV Music, Paramount. “Making it available on streaming for the first time is a meaningful moment for us, and we’re excited to work with Republic Records: Kids & Family to bring it back into the conversation for both longtime fans and a new generation.”
With its long-awaited arrival on DSPs, the “CatDog Theme Song” is poised to spark a wave of nostalgia, social conversation, and rediscovery, proving that great music, much like great cartoons, truly stands the test of time.
CatDog is the ultimate odd couple--opposites attached. The two-headed toon comes to life through physical, gag-filled, character-driven animation. Innocent and rambunctious Dog enjoys rolling in the mud and eating garbage, while his better half Cat is constantly trying to be cool and appears to have life figured out. As a result, the fur often flies between this animated odd couple.
Alec Botnick has been named President of Nickelodeon Animation Studios, according to a staff memo issued by Paramount’s Chair of TV Media, George Cheeks.

A longtime CBS exec, Botnick will lead the studio into its next chapter while continuing to serve in his current role as Executive Vice President (EVP) of CBS Studios Comedy Development, Head of Animation and Alternative.
Additionally, after BET Studios in December became a label of CBS Studios, the same is now being done with Nickelodeon Animation Studios, which also will function as a label within the David Stapf-run TV studio going forward.
With that, all production units in Cheeks’ expanded portfolio after the Skydance merger are now being consolidated into one, CBS Studios.
As the head of Nickelodeon Animation Studios, Botnick will help the studio reinvent its approach to reaching preschoolers and evolve into a multi-platform brand. He’ll also take charge of Nickelodeon’s unscripted arm, which includes the Kids’ Choice Awards. Of course, he will also guide the development of new TV series while overseeing Nickelodeon’s most important franchises like SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and PAW Patrol.
A former WME agent, Botnick joined CBS Studios in 2015 as Vice President (VP), Comedy Development and was upped to executive vp in 2021.
While at CBS, Botnick has helped develop scripted series including for animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, Everybody Still Hates Chris and Digman!, along with live-action comedies Ghosts, The Neighborhood, and the upcoming vampire comedy Eternally Yours, as well as Paramount+’s Australian comedy Colin From Accounts. He also developed Dead to Me, and American Vandal at Netflix. He will continue to develop scripted comedies and alternative titles for CBS Studios while maintaining oversight of animated development across the CBS, Comedy Central and MTV brands.
In more executive news, Ashley Kaplan, who previously served as Nickelodeon’s EVP of Unscripted and Digital Franchise Studios, will shift into a consulting role on Monday, April 13, supporting the TV Media division on special projects through the end of the year.
Kaplan had been co-running the animated studio with Botnick for the past four months. Back in November, three months after former CBS President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Cheeks added oversight of Paramount cable brands such as MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and BET in his new role as Paramount’s Chair of TV Media, he unveiled leadership for most divisions.
Kaplan and Botnick were tapped at the time to oversee Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Over her seven-year tenure at Nickelodeon, Kaplan has shepherded the company’s large YouTube output in form of short-form content, including Kid Cowboy.
Jules Borkent, EVP of Global Commercial Partnerships and Operations, will continue to oversee the business and strategy of Nickelodeon Kids & Family.
Read Cheeks' memo in its entirety below:
Team,
I’m excited to announce that Alec Botnick has been appointed President of Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Alec will lead Nickelodeon Animation Studios into its next chapter, while also continuing his current role as EVP of CBS Studios comedy development, alternative & animation. Similar to BET Studios, Nickelodeon Animation Studios will now operate as its own label for television within CBS Studios.
For Nickelodeon, Alec will oversee the animation studio and its evolution across digital, TV and streaming as we reimagine how we meet today’s kids and families. Alec’s leadership will be essential in shaping our next phase as Nickelodeon reinvents how we reach preschoolers, starting where discovery happens first and evolving into a true multi-platform brand. He also will lead Nickelodeon’s unscripted programming for television, including the Kids’ Choice Awards, while also guiding the development of new series and overseeing our long-running hits, ensuring Nickelodeon remains home to the world’s most iconic kids’ franchises like SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, PAW PATROL and more.
Alec will continue to develop scripted comedies and alternative projects for CBS Studios, as well as maintain oversight of animated development across the CBS, Comedy Central and MTV brands for owned and third-party platforms. Series and projects Alec has helped develop include GHOSTS and ETERNALLY YOURS for CBS, the critically acclaimed Australian comedy COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS for Paramount+ and the animated series “Odd Jobs” for Prime Video.
I also want to share that Ashley Kaplan will transition to a consulting role beginning Monday. In this capacity, she will support the TV Media division on special projects through the end of the year. We are grateful to Ashley for her years of leadership and appreciate her continued partnership.
Jules Borkent, executive vice president of global commercial partnerships and operations, will continue to oversee Nickelodeon Kids & Family’s business and strategy, working in partnership with Alec and other key stakeholders to maximize the Nick brand.
Please join me in congratulating Alec on this well-deserved role. I’m excited for what’s ahead as we continue building the next chapter of Nickelodeon.
