Toonces the Driving Cat

Toonces became a star in the early 90’s. He was a loveable cat that drove the family car on the NBC TV series Saturday Night Live. Toonces was the pet cat of Lyle and Brenda Clark (Played by Steve Martin and Victoria Jackson in the first sketch). At first, the Clarks were amazed and astonished by Toonces ability to drive a car.
