“They were often part of those Saturday morning cartoons, too. They appeared in Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies.” “Well, there’s Sylvester the tuxie cat (with the voice of Mel Blanc) and his nemesis, Tweety Bird the canary. “Okay, just so we know that, we can look at some more cats, now.” “I am going to relax here and snuggle with you.” “No, my little furries.” I reached around and stroked their soft fur. “Are you going to watch that cat all afternoon, too?” In fact, they can probably spend the whole afternoon just watching Simon’s cat.” There’s a link to one of them, and from there, they can find more if they like. “And are you going to give our readers a link to those videos, too?” asked Kiki. ”Hmmm…Well,” Allen said, “It is fun to knock things down.” He’s always interested in food, and he enjoys knocking things down.” That cat makes me laugh, because he is so much like some real cats I know.” “He’s just called Simon’s cat, and his creator, British animator Simon Tofield, has produced many animated cartoons. “There’s a more modern cat who seems to always get the best of his human.” “Well, I think I want to hear about another cat who has better luck.” “I can sort of see why you might feel that way, Allen. There’s a link at the end for anyone who would like to watch a sampling of Tom and Jerry and their friends.”Īllen said, “Why would I want to watch a video of a cat who never catches the mouse? That doesn’t seem very fair to Tom.” Mostly they showed Tom chasing Jerry, the mouse, and the mouse always getting away. “Those critters and their film antics were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Warner Brothers. In it, Felix falls in love with Miss Kitty, while mice sneak in and destroy the things in his house.” The first Felix cartoon was called Feline Follies, and a link to it appears below. Way back in 1919, before the movies even had sound, Pat Sullivan and Otto Messmer created Felix and made animated films featuring him.” “Here’s another cartoon cat, one who has been around for a long time. However, if anyone would like to see some of his delightful drawings, you can follow the link at the bottom of this diary. His pictures are all still protected by copyright laws. Not if it has fur, though.”īy the way, Kliban didn’t draw this picture. “I think I would like to eat some meatloaf. “I think I’ve seen meatloaf with fur in my frig a time or two, when I had forgotten it was there, but I guess that is a little different,” I commented.Īllen joined in. “I’ll bet he was just meaning the shape of that curled-up cat was the same shape as a meatloaf.” Allen had the right idea. Who ever saw a meatloaf that had fur?” Kiki piped up. One of Kliban’s pictures had a cat something like the one in this picture, and he commented that a cat was a “nice animal,” and that it was often “mistaken for a meatloaf.”
