War of the CatDog is the second half of the eleventh episode of season 1.
Plot
CatDog are preparing for their yearly family reunion, along with their annual tug-of-war tournament. The brothers intend to maintain their coveted tug-of-war trophy, but trouble ensues when Dog stains Cat's apron. Winslow convinces Cat to have a closer eye to his personal belongings, immediately going overboard by labeling everything in the house, along with the trophy. Dog scolds Cat for claiming something both of them won together, though Cat claims it is best kept in his care.
While Dog tries to hide his stuff to prevent Cat from claiming them, Winslow gives Dog the trophy, intending to instigate after showing Cat that Dog has the trophy. He would proceed to lock the trophy in a vault, which Dog tries and succeeds at opening. The trophy is revealed to be a booby trapped and Cat would catch Dog in the act. The two divide the house into separate sides, with items Cat claimed, but the two would work on splitting the house up further.
Dog would later suggest splitting everything in half to resolve their issues, destroying the house at the peak of their anger. Winslow would soon arrive to sarcastically comment on what happened, only for the two to fight over who could claim him. In their fight, the house would give and collapse. Emerging from the rubble, CatDog sadly discover their family had arrived, only to leave soon after. Winslow would soon emerge and give them the halves of the trophy.

Trivia
- The tug-of-war trophy would be seen again and play a major part in the episode "CatDog Squared".
- This episode contradicts events and details that would be explored in "CatDog and the Great Parent Mystery". It's possible this was a front, or more likely the episode was written before any formal continuity was established.
- Nickelodeon supposedly did not air this episode between 9/11/2001 and Thanksgiving weekend of 2004.
