Toonhound - Sergeant Stripes (2003)

   "He's the itty bitty kitty, protecting the city..."

    Stripes is a cute grey cat who lives in a sleepy provincial police station
    with little Katie and her father, PC Harker. Both they and pretty Sergeant Parker
    think Stripes is merely a miowing moggy, but when this little cat slopes off
    to his bed underneath the stairs for a nap, well, that's when the fun really starts.

    In his dreams, Stripes is transformed into Sergeant Stripes, and the stuffed toys
    who are perched around his understair home are transformed into his workmates
    and colleagues. There's Arabella Giraffe, Fluffy Mouse, and their bossy superior
    Inspector Hector - he's a moth-eaten teddybear. Our kitty's toy car becomes
    the station patrol car, known affectionately as Police Car Andy. And Arabella
    rides an old red trike called Mike the Bike. This hotchpotch of characters solve
    impossible crimes and troublesome troubles around town. Stolen items are
    recovered, duplicitous thieves unmasked and marauding monsters exposed.
    Oh, yes. No job's too big, no task too troublesome for Sergeant Stripes
    and his pals...

    Folks they assist most ably include the pigs Mr and Mrs Peppermint, who
    run the local sweet shop. Mrs Draper is a fussy vole, with a rather put-upon
    husband. Then there's a snooty fox called Mr Pearson, and the spectacled piglet
    Pip Pig - oh - and a squirrel called Suzie Sycamore. Mr and Mrs Merry are
    hippos who run the local funfair, and greedy Ronnie Rabbit gets his
    comeuppance when he steals some sweeties from Mr Peppermint's
    store...

     Fluffy Mouse, Inspector Hector and Arabella from "Sergeant Stripes" - cvopyright Ealing Animation / A Works TV

    This is what you call a "cute" show. Stripes the cat is as cute as a button,
    forever scampering around, yawning and str-e-e-etching his paws. He's even
    shown circling around before he naps down in the old Sergeant's cap which
    he uses as a bed. And once he's asleep, Sergeant Stripes takes over, scurrying
    around town in anthropomorphic form, with his ill-fitting trousers which need
    constant adjustment. Annabella's cute too, especially when we see her
    peddling furiously on her little red trike, trying to keep up with Sergeant
    Stripes' speeding patrol car - Miow! Miow!
