Development
After Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor learned Nickelodeon rejected The Modifyers as a full series, they are asked to going to the meeting at Cartoon Network Studios. When Julian Reilly comes in, Reccardi and Naylor are so happy to meeting him. He got some good news for them and said, "I'm going to make a new cartoon with both of you." Reccardi asked, "What is it?" "The studio is going to make a new cartoon after your animated short film, The Modifyers." replied Reilly. Naylor said, "Okay, you can make a new show for Cartoon Network with us". Reilly has an idea to make a new cartoon with anthropomorphic animals as non-human cast. One week later, Reilly is drawing cartoon foxes and cats at the studio. He also draws other cartoon animals (both regular and anthropomorphic). The next day, Reilly shows Reccardi and Naylor his drawings of a fox, a cat, a coyote, a border collie, a mountain lion and a jaguar. They said, "Your characters look like our short's characters, but they are perfect for our new show for Cartoon Network!" Reilly was influenced by Hanna-Barbera's Secret Squirrel, Tex Avery cartoons, Lewis Trondheim's Kaput and Zosky, Chuck Jones cartoons and Cosgrove Hall's Danger Mouse for making the new show. Later, Reilly is drawing a pink fox with long hair (taking inspiration from Agent Xero) and a yellow tabby cat with orange stripes. Reccardi and Naylor are drawing some backgrounds with using pencils and paint. He gives two names for the fox "Agent Foxy" and the cat "Pounce". And the co-creators are giving a name of a city "Secret Oaks". The trio have a good idea to make a title Agent Foxy and Pounce the Cat.
