Clue: Cartoon theme?

Dundee

Answer:

Colourful cat - Pink panther, a cartoon character
Theme - durham, durham, durham, durham, durham....

Hence - Durham

Was it too obscure?

Michael Rolls · January 07, 2023, 09:06:59 AM

for me - yes

Ashy · January 07, 2023, 12:00:08 PM

Yes a bit obscure, please have another go!!
By the way I deduced Dundee as the home of Korky the Cat among other cartoons.
