Cats holding knives and looking sinister. “Animals” is not a family-friendly show about talking animals. There will not be any Eddie Murphy in front of a green screen pretending to talk to a cute dog. The creators, Phil Matarese, Mike Luciano and executive producer Mark Duplass of Duplass Brothers Prods, take talking animals to a new level of humor. In the sewers, patios, vents, apartments and streets of New York City, we get a closer look at the happy lives of these creatures.

8. Take a look at the extravagant life of lice.

9. City horses have things to talk about too.
