Like Cats and Dogs is a compilation album by English alternative rock band Catherine Wheel, released 9 September 1996 by Fontana Records in the UK and Mercury Records in the US. The album includes an alternate version of "Heal" from Happy Days (retitled "Heal 2"), several outtakes and B-sides spanning the band's career, and cover versions of songs originally by Pink Floyd and Rush. The Rush song "Spirit of Radio" had been recorded earlier in the year for a CD entitled "Spirit of the edge Vol. 2" (copyright 1996 Mercury/Polydor Records) which was put out by Toronto radio station CFNY for which the song had originally been written. The original Vinyl version of the album was released as a double 10" gatefold set with alternate artwork and an extra track "Pleasure" exclusive to this release, following "Wish You Were Here" as track A3. The vinyl version of the album omits the hidden track 13 medley from the CD version.

Bassist Dave Hawes said of the album:

{{quote|I am very proud of our B-sides and really think Like Cats and Dogs is a great album in itself and not just a collection of B-sides. In my younger days I was an avid record buyer and would often be disappointed when playing the B-side of a phenomenal A-side. A lot of bands would just put a "throwaway" track on; usually a song that wasn’t strong enough for an album and I don't think we ever did that. I seem to remember recording our B-sides separately to doing our albums which I think was a good idea so to keep the focus on whatever album we were recording at the time.{{cite web |last1=Broscheid |first1=James |title=Catherine Wheel revisited - an interview with Dave Hawes |url=https://bigtakeover.com/interviews/CatherineWheelrevisitedaninterviewwithDaveHawes |publisher=The Big Takeover |accessdate=17 November 2019}}}}
