He first appeared in "The Big Shot," as a supermarket customer testing out the difference between litter box A and litter box B - the Gritty Kitty formula. He first tests litter box A and replies "No sir, I don't like it" (which became his catch phrase) because it smells. He tests litter box B that contains Gritty Kitty litter, which he likes because he can't smell a thing and tells his wife about Gritty Kitty litter.
Among his more notable appearances include in "Fire Dogs" when he was one of Mrs. Buttloaves' pets and was thrown out of her ten story apartment and broke his legs.

He also appeared in "Rubber Nipple Salesmen" when Ren and Stimpy went to his door to sell their rubber nipples, but he was dressed in them. He believed them to be the FBI, but Ren assured them that they weren't. It is implied that he might've kidnapped a walrus, as he says that the pair can try and sell the rubber nipples to him, who whispers, "call the police."
He briefly appeared in "Sven Hoek" after Stimpy announces that it is time for his appointment. Stimpy places a quarter in a wall which opens a door.. Stimpy bends down and Mr. Horse kicks him in the head, sending him flying across the room. Mr Horse is only seen from behind and he doesn't have any lines.
He was a preliminary judge in "Dog Show" as if he didn't like the animal, he'd cut them out of the competition by forcing them to be eaten by a monstrous dog.
"In The Great Outdoors", his voice can be heard after Ren is transformed into a horse by food pills, saying his classic line, which turns out to be the final time that Mr. Horse would be voiced by John K, as John K. was fired soon after.
