Sylvester the Cat

Sylvester J. Pussycat is one of the main characters from the Looney Tunes cartoons.

Why He Won't Make You Say "Sufferin' Succotash!"

 * 1) He is an amazing cat and one of the most memorable cats in cartoon history.
 * 2) The way he pronounces most words with a raspberry lisp is both amusing and very iconic.
 * 3) Everything he does and says is hilarious.
 * 4) He is very talented, intelligent, and a thinker. As a matter of fact, despite all of his buffoonery, wimpiness, insecurities, goofiness, mistakes, and massive shortcomings, he is a whole lot smarter than he seems.
 * 5) He even got his own spin-off series in the 90s!
 * 6) All of his designs are great.
 * 7) He along with Wile E. Coyote, is very iconic and sympathetic.
 * 8) * Speaking of which, even during the dark age of Looney Tunes, the relationship he had with Wile E. Coyote in the film "The Wild Chase" was somewhat interesting to see. Considering that Sylvester always chases after Tweety (or is depicted as a heroic pet to Porky), he was chasing after Speedy Gonzales during this era, and him joining Wile E. Coyote to do the same type of hunting after them is a mutual goal they both share. In comparison to Wile E. Coyote being his typically underhanded and arrogant self, Sylvester is depicted as an equally underhanded but loyal and affable sidekick to Wile E., as they have a fairly passable relationship as a duo of ineffectual villains.
 * 9) Much like Donald Duck or Tom Cat: He serves as a constant reminder for all of us to be brave, keep searching, hold family close, and never give up no matter how great the odds are against you; in which shows when trying to do his best in old shorts where he was quite ill-starred and prone to an unfortunate event; even when he's forced into an awkward and uncomfortable situation like a victim and patsy. This was shown to grow character-wise when he isn't just only chasing after Tweety and since Sylvester is a black cat, he is typically characterized as unlucky as a bonus.
 * 10) Many of his comeuppances are very iconic and well-deserved, making his failures entertaining (sometimes hilarious) to watch.
 * 11) Despite being a bungler and one of the biggest punching bags alongside Wile E. and many other villains, he is nevertheless a good father to his equally intelligent son, Sylvester Jr.
 * 12) He not only has a rivalry with Tweety, but also with Speedy Gonzales and many more.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His rivalry with Tweety is usually repetitive, especially in their later team-ups.
 * 2) * Worse than his rivalry with Tweety, Hippety Hopper, a baby kangaroo that he believes is a giant mouse, abuses him way too much (even though to be fair, Hippety fails to realize this as he often misinterprets as if Sylvester wants to play roughhousing with him) and Sylvester never succeeds in fighting back a lot of the time.
 * 3) He alongside Wile E. Coyote, has the same vibe for being a punching bag in a predictable fashion when he typically fails at catching Tweety Bird. Sometimes his mistreatment makes him look wimpy and look like a pussy (no pun intended).
 * 4) * When he was paired with Porky, he was neurotic, incredibly protective, and understandably attentive to keeping Porky safe from the danger, he somehow doesn't speak in these shorts despite showing to have a voice in previous shorts.
 * 5) * He's been inappropriately harassed by both, Pepe Le Pew and Pitu Le Pew from the Mysteries series, two anthropomorphic skunks from two separate shows that all tend to make him look like a wimpy pushover, as Sylvester struggles with saying no and running away from both of them, which made him look horribly submissive in a very pitiful way.
 * 6) He can be a bit cocky, sadistic and sneaky at times.
 * 7) Just like Elmer Fudd, He didn't have a good start in his debut, "Life With Feathers".
 * 8) Given that he is a fallible yet persistent predator towards Tweety, he can be comically mean, and jerkish to Tweety sometimes.
 * 9) * In shorts like "Catty Cornered"; he is depicted as an anti-hero whose motive he has with saving Tweety is so he can eat him, this would imply that he doesn't show concern for Tweety's safety due to how much he hates him and wanting to devour him for good, and in return, makes Sylvester a ferocious jerk. This is also why some Looney Tunes fans don't like him as much as Tweety.
