When I was younger, this guy was scary. I thought that in every cartoon, he ate the little bird. My fears were wrong and he became one of my favorites.
First appearing in “Life with Feathers” Sylvester did not really have to change his appearance. He is also used quite a lot in cartoons. With Tweety he hunts, with Porky, he is afraid of everything, with his son he tries to be an impressive father, with Hippity Hopper he tries to prove his worth by catching the giant “mouse”, with Elmer he annoys him, with Speedy he guards stuff, with Foghorn he fights, and with Wile E, he teams up. Plus there are the cartoons without any of them. That makes 9 actual lives for Warner Bros clownish cat. (That’s an accurate description. He was designed to look like a clown).
