Cartoon Flaws part 2: Those Darn Cats

Cartoon Flaws part 2: Those Darn Cats (And No I Am Not Talking About That Movie)

BTW - THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR KIDS.

Pink Panther vs. Snaggle Puss

Why are you pink? Aren't you both boys??? Maybe your clothes were dyed in the wash? I have that same problem all the time. I don't even mix my white clothes with my colored clothes yet whenever I wash laundry in my mom's basement there is a color mishap.

However, the cats...
The Pink Panther is silent, resilient, athletic, and brilliant. Apparently, in the movies has a passion for diamonds. Yet, that detective in those movies using his name seems not only clumsy and confused but also despite his bad French accent highly dangerous to those around him. And his Katoesque servant... cooks, cleans, a martial artists who is rather quick yet not fast enough to best the detective. Maybe the detective has a very, very, very good luck like in those RPG video games. The more they do; the luckier they become. Attacking this person is in itself a mistake. Sometimes there isn't even a need to respond. You attack the panther/detective and eventually destroy yourself. The panther/detective may not even notice.
Which brings me to Snaggle Puss. You're straight, right? I mean your sidekick and sometimes servant is a mouse... Ut-Oh! There were all those stories about Richard Gere and he is straight, right? I mean that leading man got to mess around with a (pretty) woman.  There is nothing wrong with sexuality choices just that name... So you have a tooth missing, wear a fancy hat and vest, and you're a pink cat... OK... The name is appropriate!!! Just, dude... Dude!!!
Maybe a different color???

Which brings me to The Thundercats!!! Everybody scream HOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Lion-O and the Thundercats are on point! If you are going to wear a pastel color and be a cat why not light blue? Kind of sets off your red hair (mane) and orange skin. Every girl I met in high school and college always loved The Thundercats. Maybe that Eye of Thundarra sword had something to do with it? He shouting and it is growing as he gyrates back and forth... Has anyone seen that other king I think his name was Elvis?!?! I didn't he have some blue suede shoes? I know one of his stamps has him in a light blue jacket. Not to mention that The Thundercats had a tiger who knew how to use a whip (skipping that!! This is not that type of blog.), a panther who by the way was a masculine color and the brother was the cats martial arts expert, a pair of (wonder) twins who got into way too much trouble, a rather fast and furious female named Cheetara (I think she was named after a cheetah and for all her seriousness she was a HOT blond in all the episodes!!!!!!), and damn you, Snarf! Giving household workers, pets, and characters with speech impediments a bad name. He always said his name before and after any sentence he was saying. "Snarf! (Put silly phrase here) Snarf!!" It could have been cultural or maybe he was being egotistical? Some people like and need to hear their name. Usually, you like to hear it out of others peoples mouth but maybe he was a do-it-yourself(er). Didn't he have on a wedding ring and a family back home? Know wonder so many husband take trips with the boys to get away from their other half yet without the extra help they may have to become do-it-yourself(ers) not unless they like being with those boys more than they are saying?

Well, despite the plethora of slang terminology for cats and my particular outlook on their variations in media from the cinema to the small screen one thing is certain be cautious of your color scheme. Pink seems to be an antiquated yet growing trend yet I can't stop think about Cheetara... Wait a second, she is golden and knows how to a pole (that retracks and grows at her touch)... HELLO!!!
