Years of lobbying against digital dogs and cats in live action movies go out the door when one takes in the French-Canadian farce “Cat and Dog,” with its many slapstick animal-abusing moments.

I mean, thank heavens “No (digitally animated) dogs or cats were injured” in the making of this movie.

And before you say it, I have no idea what market research convinced Netflix to retitle “Chien & Chat” (Dog and Cat) to “Cat and Dog” for U.S. streaming. Maybe the fact that I’m reviewing it on “Caturday?”

It’s an irreverent-to-the-point-of-rude “romp” about two critters, reluctantly teamed-up and on the run from the cops and a jewel thief. The wee Labrador puppy has swallowed The Candy Apple Ruby, and somebody — a couple of SOMEbodies — want it back.

It’s a comedy of crotch shots and poo-poo/pee-pee humor, New York putdowns and Trump insults, Jesus jokes with nuns and blindness as a sight gag.

The dog gets kicked, the cat is tortured and shot at, and that’s just the beginning of their peril.

The most hilarious thing about this generic juvenalia might be its rating — “TV-MA,” for mature audiences. As if. This lowbrow and limp comedy has pretty much nothing to offer to anybody over the age of eight, with a stern “don’t try this at home” proviso as a warning to parents.

Frank Dubosc is our cunning “Cat,” aka “Jack,” the burglar who steals the Candy Apple Ruby from a Montreal museum, but whose getaway is foiled by A) a yappy stray puppy and B) the parkour-crazed policeman and animal-hater Brandt (Philippe Lacheau).

When cop and burglar tangle, the dog ends up swallowing the jewel and the vain, superhumanish policeman gets scalped. Jack barely has time to put a diaper on the dog for when digestion releases the ruby and board a plane for New York.

That’s where he meets Diva the big, fluffy “influencer” kitty and her owner/handler, Monica (director and co-writer Reem Kherici). Jack must pose as a blind man and lean on her help when his dog and her cat are mishandled as luggage and escape.

Monica’s manic deployment of the escape slide on the jetliner tells us just what is at stake. And no, she’d have never gotten out of the airport without wearing handcuffs, but whatever.

The animals — who talk to each other in insulting cat speak and endearing naive puppy talk — and their pursuers must brave winter and snowy roads and mishap after mishap on their way to NYC, which is where the story resolves itself.

I’m all for rude humor for little kids, but even by low-hanging-fruit standards, PooPoo (as the puppy is named by the cat in the English dubbed translation) declaring “I wanna sniff your butt” isn’t much to giggle over.

A terroristic tween tries to take home and torment the plump social media star cat, the uniformed cop tries to shoot them and death is dodged in multiple ways in a kiddie comedy that isn’t quite comical and won’t appeal to most kids, even the ones whose parents figure it’s appropriate.
