Many sitcom pets disappear between seasons like Tiger on the Brady Bunch, on Growing Pains, Ben got a puppy that was never seen again after that episode. Any other disappearing sitcom pets?
The Brady Bunch also had a cat. Dunno where it ran off to.

Actually it was a dog named tiger
No, in the pilot, the girls had a cat named Fluffy. After that we never saw it again.

On coach, after Luther's Basset Quincy died, the replacement, Quincy II was only seen in one ep, but was mentioned a few more times. Luther also had a parrot that was mentioned a few times but only seen in one ep.
The Simpsons took in another greyhound, She's The Fastest, about twelve years ago. She was only seen in one episode.

Fred & Ethel had a dog in the first season I Love Lucy episode "Lucy Goes On A Diet". I remember him hiding under the table awaiting scraps. He is never mentioned before or after this episode.
Also remember K-13 (Fang) from Get Smart? He disappeared early in the first season and was never mentioned again.

In the Brady Bunch ep where Tiger gets lost, he fathered a litter of (purebread) puppies (why don't people neuter their pets in sitcoms, even in the 70s)that were never seen again. Hope they found homes.
The first dog, who's name was actually "Tiger" got ran over. They had trouble with the replacement dog. The doghouse remained on the astroturf.
On King of the Hill when they went to Japan and Luann tried to replace Ladybird (she was later found), the replacement bloodhound were never seen again.

In the first season of Bewitched, Darrin gave Samantha a Siamese cat, which was never seen or mentioned again after that one episode. On General Hospital, the Spencer dog Foster disappeared and was never heard from or referred to again.
On Laverne & Shirley, Shirley had a pet parakeet and a pet mouse for one episode each.

on "GREEN ACRES" the Douglases had a puppy at first (one of those little ones-I think they're called "purse puppies" or something) named Minnyon (I think that's how it's spelled) that dissapeared with no explanation.
On "I LOVE LUCY" in the Conneticut shows, Little Ricky had a puppy named Fred at first, that dissapeared with no explanation after a few episodes.
The Clampetts bloudhound, Duke, was in the early episodes of "THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" then also just dissapeared. (I think, though, that Duke died, and nothing was ever said; because before they stopped showing him, they'd joke sometimes about him slowing down)
In the early episodes of "MY 3 SONS" the Douglases had an english sheepdog named Tramp, that also dissapeared with no explanation.

During the first couple of seasons of Sister, Sister the family had a cat they named Little Ray. He was dropped with no explanation and was never mentioned again - kind of like Carl Dixon on Good Times. :lol:

He was there until like the third season. I remember in one episode Ray lost the cat . . . did he ever come back?

Little Ray was found after Ray lost him - and Ray hunted down to find an exact-lookalike cat to fool the women. :lol: It was funny to see Ray and Lisa stare each other down, each holding a cat. :lol: Both cats disappeared after that - that episode aired in the second season.

Yeah, and he died b/c Michelle tried to give him a bubble bath. LOL But at the end, didn't Jesse (or someone) buy her another fish so she wouldn't be upset over Martin?

Yes, Freddie. But then it ends up with babies and Jesse says, "Freda". And all those others that were hiding in the cabinet were never seen again, either.
Also remember K-13 (Fang) from Get Smart? He disappeared early in the first season and was never mentioned again.
No, actually Fang's last episode is in "Perils in a Pet Shop" from Season 2.
