Posted these drawings of my favorite cartoon cat characters on Instagram on the 17th, which is St. Gertrude's Day. She's the patron saint of cats, from Belgium (a country where many classic comics/cartoons come from, such as Tintin), so it's a perfect day to share some of my drawings of my favorite cartoon cats. Hanna-Barbara's Top Cat (top left), Mr. Kitty from South Park (top right), Garfield (middle), Meowth from Pokèmon (bottom left), and Blinx the Time Sweeper (bottom right). While Blinx is technically not a cartoon character but a video game character, he's animated so he still counts. Very underrated unique puzzle platformer of the same name, highly recommend it if you want to play something that's really creative and challenging.

I've been growing up with cats my whole life, and I've always loved them. They're great teachers of unapologetic individuality and presence of mind. Always living in the moment, and always great companions. They're distinct personalities have always inspired artists, and make great cartoon characters (One of the very earliest cartoon animals was a cat, Felix the Cat)

Who's your favorite cartoon cat? Do you like any of these characters or series?
