Southeast Asia, Australia, Latin America and Israel.

Other broadcasters of the series include CBBC, ABC

Frankenstein’s Cat is
a comedy series for the 6- to 11-year-old set, featuring the exploits of the

universal likeability that will appeal to kids around the world and we’re really
looking forward to introducing the show to our Nickelodeon audiences."
