Cartoon cats have for years been an entertainment for children and adults alike. In fact, a cat cartoon has sometimes been the reason why some people adopt cats. Cat cartoons can be anything from daily comic strips in the newspaper to Saturday morning TV shows.
The most famous cartoon cat of all is Garfield. As far as cartoon cats and dogs go, there is no more famous paring than Garfield and Odie. And for cartoon kittens, none are more adorable or annoying than Nermal, Garfield’s cartoon kitten and nemesis. There is also Arlene, who is Garfield’s girlfriend. Garfield has been the top cat cartoon for years, and there are many Garfield comic books and TV shows to prove this.
Other famous cartoon cats are more geared towards adults. The Bill the Cat cartoon of Bloom County fame is a very popular cartoon featuring cats. Cartoon creators often add cats as cynical or stupid characters in their comic strips.
There are few members of the kitten cartoon category. There are some, but most stars of a cat cartoon are adult cats. Cute cat cartoons are popular, though, especially in books and calendars. Cat cartoon calendars are available with many different funny comics and cartoons. A cartoon black cat or white cat can often be discussing something pressing like politics with a person in a cat cartoon. That is why so many people enjoy cat cartoons.

Bucky is the ridiculous comic relief and is not very bright. Fans of the Dilbert comic may recognize Catbert, the sidekick of Dilbert.
