Top Cat (brand)
Top Cat was a British cat food brand[1] that is notable for being the cause of the renaming of the Hanna-Barbera animated television series Top Cat to Boss Cat in the United Kingdom in 1962, so as not to cause confusion or to suggest promotion or defamation. Since the brand name discontinued in 1999, so had any concerns about mirroring such a brand name, which allowed the original American title sequence to be used on the animated series, and allowed future films to use the name.[2]
