“The Victorians didn’t really even like cats,” explains David Tibet at his home in Hastings. One of the most successful and prolific artists of the Edwardian era, illustrating more than 200 books and 16 editions of LOUIS WAIN’S ANNUALS, as well as creator of cinema’s first animated feline, PUSSYFOOT, in 1917, Wain’s anthropomorphic cats did more than just delight generations of children. Because all of them owe a debt of cat-itude to Louis Wain. Where the antics of Grumpy Cat are met with a shrug rather than rapt adoration. Where commuters aren’t consoled by the lasagne-guzzling antics of Garfield or young girls by the trials of Hello Kitty. Imagine a world without Felix, Sylvester or Top Cat. Last on our list of cat comics is Catbert, the “evil” human resources director in the Dilbert comic strip known for his sadistic “random policy generator.” In fact, Catbert was supposed to be a one-off character but became a favorite of readers.Taken from the document curated by Nick Cave, featured in the A/W18 ‘Romance and Ritual’ issue of Another Man: He was carried around by curly-haired Frieda, who hoped that having a cat in the neighborhood would make Snoopy less smug. Faron only made a handful of appearances in the much-loved comic strip. It’s no wonder this strip was called “the last great newspaper comic.”īig fans of Peanuts might be wondering who Faron is among cat comics. Hobbes is the purrfect mix of feline-curious, playful, unexpectedly pouncing-and human, as he can walk and talk. The lovable counterpart to Calvin, Bengal tiger-like Hobbes is one of our favorite cat comics. This trash-eating, toilet-drinking average cat is an amusing contrast to other superhero pets. Power Girl adopted him after he snuck into and made a mess at Justice League HQ.
Unlike most of the other comic book cats on this list, Stinky has absolutely no superpowers. The only word she ever speaks? “Lying.” This powerful yet subtle feline is one of our favorite comic book cats. As The Will’s companion, she has the power to detect lies. Saga, the epic space opera comic book series, wouldn’t be complete without the enormous Sphynx-like Lying Cat. Although he had a mild-mannered alter ego called Niels the cat, Hairball was the real powerhouse with his fantastic bursts of speed.

Marvel’s limited series Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers featured a feline called Hairball (naturally) with the ability to harness and express kinetic energy. She has the ability to talk and can even transform into a human form. With a crescent moon marking on her forehead, Luna is Sailor Moon’s protector. This list of best comic book cats wouldn’t be complete without the Sailor Moon manga series, which features the black cat Luna. This transformed him into Dex-Starr, a murderous, vengeance-seeking Red Lantern cat that wears the red power ring around his tail. Oddly enough, Chewie is actually an egg-laying alien in disguise… But Carol kept the “cat” around anyway!Īfter witnessing the murder of his owner, an abandoned stray cat called Dexter wandered the streets of Brooklyn before attracting a red power ring. The two-tailed Master Ren helps the heroine Maika on her journey, but we’re never quite sure if he can be trusted… typical cat!Īlthough Captain Marvel’s orange tabby was called Goose in the 2019 blockbuster, Carol Danvers’ companion was known as Chewie in the original comics.
In this high-fantasy world, cats can be spies and assassins. Master Ren is a wise, scheming cat in the dark comic series Monstress.
Alas, he eventually lost his powers and resumed his life as a normal housecat. Streaky’s powers consisted of flight, super speed, and more. The furry companion of DC Comics’ Supergirl, Streaky the Supercat gained superpowers when he was exposed to kryptonite radiation.

With the success of the TV sitcom, Salem’s fate was sealed as the witty talking black cat we know today.
Originally Salem was an orange tabby that did not speak. Salem Saberhagen (yes, he has a last name!) first appeared alongside Sabrina Spellman in the 1962 Archie Comics.

Garfield is the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip, originally created in 1978 by Jim Davis. Just in time for National Comic Book Day, we’ve rounded up 13 of our favorite comic book cats!
