Now that I’ve done Name that street  and Name that machine , it’s time to name that pet!
Above you will find a list of dogs and cats — and wolves and lions — both wild and free, real and animated, from cartoons, comics, movies, books, television, and so forth.  Can you name the work with which they are most commonly associated?  Beware, there’s a few trick questions in there.  
And here’s your bonus question:  can you name a cat named Spot and a dog named Fluffy?

Are you referring to the character from Red Dwarf?

And here’s your bonus question:  can you name a cat named Spot and a dog named Fluffy?
 
 
Several people can identify the cat named Spot, but who knows the dog named Fluffy as well?
I didn’t realize Dr. Forrester had a pet named Frank on MST3K — the one I’m thinking of is a movie dog.
Then again, there’s no reference too obscure for the Straight Dope.
