The Greatest Cats In Cartoons And Comics, Ranked By Fans

Cats are awesome, and doubly so for cartoon cats! Cats are often used in cartoons and animated films as comic relief and/or villains, but there are some superhero cats as well. Many cartoon cats are paired with famous mouse characters so both sides can battle it out. But who are the greatest cartoon cat characters of all time?

Animated felines often serve as antagonists to be mocked. It seems like Tom, Meowth, and Sylvester, for example, just can’t ever catch a break. Despite their repeated failures, however, audiences still love them. On the opposite end of the spectrum are lazy fat cartoon cats like Garfield who practically embody slothfulness. Other famous cartoon cats include Snowball II, Puss in Boots, and Duchess from Disney's animated cat film The Aristocats.

If you love cat characters, vote up the animated furballs who make your heart purr. For the purpose of this list, bigger cats such as lions, tigers, and leopards are included - basically, any cartoon felines.
