Cartoon Cats

You know the attitude before Garfield even opens his mouth. You know Tom is about to have the worst day imaginable. And the second Sylvester sees Tweety, you know exactly how this ends. Cartoon cats have spent generations stealing scenes, starting trouble and making us pick sides. But who belongs at the top? Is it Garfield’s sarcasm, Tom’s commitment to the chase, Simba’s heroics, Tigger’s energy or the Pink Panther’s effortless cool? There’s no checklist here. Just cat versus cat, one head-to-head matchup at a time. Make your picks and help crown the greatest cartoon cat of all time.
