From 1955, here are Herman and Katnip starring in "A Bicep Built For Two," a Famous Studios production originally released theatrically by Paramount Pictures. In this one, Katnip falls head over heals for a hot-looking female feline, but has trouble with the girl's boyfriend.
With animation by Tom Golden and Morey Reden, story by Larz Bourne, scenics by Robert Connavale, and music by Winston Sharples, this cartoon was directed by Fleischer/Famous veteran (and Max Fleischer's son-in-law) Seymour Kneitel.

A Farewell To Katnip (And Herman Too)
From 1959, here is the last Herman and Katnip theatrical cartoon, "Katnip's Big Day," which was essentially a takeoff on Truth or Consequences. Made by Paramount Cartoon Studios in New York City and directed by Seymour Kneitel, animation by William B. Pattengill and Jack Ehret, sets by Robert Owen, music by Winston Sharples, and uncredited voice charaterizations by Sid Raymond (his last cartoon as the voice of Katnip), Jackson Beck, and Jack Mercer (who filled in for Arnold Stang as the voice of Herman).
This cartoon was loaded with excerpts from previous H&K outings, including:
"A Bicep Built For Two" (1955; director: Seymour Kneitel)
"Drinks On The Mouse" (1953; director: Dave Tendlar)
"Cat-Choo" (1951; director: Seymour Kneitel)
"Mousetro Herman" (1956; director: Isidore Sparber)
It was also the last Paramount Cartoon Studios entry made in Technicolor.
