an idea cannot be copyrighted
only the form it takes.
if we made cats "inspired" by the idea of a colorful animal with a thing on it's rump. is that getting to close to My Little Pony? If we use the cats.
there are a lot of "ponies" I am sure
it's not the idea of a pink horse with wings, or a red one wit rainbow hair. I read that some of the G1 ponies were supposed to go into FIM but many things halted that, one of them being some characters could not get their trademark back
so it's now, the form this takes, the design , name and emblem of the character that makes it a trademark.
slapping wings on a yellow cat, giving the cat the long hair manecoon tail and drawing

a cat with a huge rag of hair on the head, matching fluffy tail and a symbol inspired by what I call "legacy pets" those old so rare ones.

you get the idea

The outcomes would be like...
1) a happy, smiling pink original bubblegum dog.
2) a cool blue dog with maybe sunglasses, cool mint gum
3) an orange and yellow dog with derp eyes, fruity gum
4) a flaming red dog, cinnamon gum
5) a brown PPS, ABC (already been chewed) gum.
the ABC one should be coverd in drool too?

I'm still looking for ones they can do like
game show pet
cartoon pet
drama pet
detective/cop show pet
action/super hero show pet
romance show pet
infomercal show pet
talk show pet
not sure what kind of drama would be the poster child for drama. or how to make a "who done it?" essence.
just the cartoon pet should be silly looking, with pingpong ball eyes and white gloves, and big shoes and either only a shirt or pants. maybe it can have a big snaggle tooth as well.
the infomercal pet could just have "buy, act now, free gift" written on it. and have money stuck in it's mouth.
