This week our intrepid critics take a look at our feline friends.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cats are lazy, crazy, demanding, and undependable. Yet, many of us love cats. Perhaps it is their air of mystery and indifference to us\u2014qualities we associate with those we yearn for, but are beyond our reach\u2014that draw us to cats.<\/p>\n<p>Their often perplexing natures are a rich source for cartoons. Cats have a penchant for enthusiastically pursuing useless and peculiar activities. In this Leo Cullum cartoon, the cat as executive makes his priorities clear:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc120401\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3144\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC120401_Cullum.jpg\" alt=\"Leo Cullum cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC120401_Cullum.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC120401_Cullum-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC120401_Cullum-768x669.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why cats are mesmerized by random objects is also the subject of this wordless cartoon by Tom Toro, featuring felines taking in a flick:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc142660\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3150\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC142660_Toro.jpg\" alt=\"Tom Toro Cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC142660_Toro.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC142660_Toro-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC142660_Toro-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cute they may be, but cats also have a cruel streak, especially when torturing poor little mice for amusement. The eternal struggle between cats and mice has been examined by many a cartoonist. Sam Gross, who has drawn dozens of cat cartoons, captures that struggle in a simple, poignant scene:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc40082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3151\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC40082_Gross.jpg\" alt=\"Sam Gross Cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC40082_Gross.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC40082_Gross-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC40082_Gross-768x474.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In animated cartoons for kids, the mouse often outwits the cat, but cartoons for an adult audience usually take a more realistic and cynical approach. In another Leo Cullum cartoon, the cat tries to seduce the mouse into entering a doomed relationship:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc69410\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3143\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC69410_Cullum.jpg\" alt=\"Cat cartoons, Leo Cullum\" width=\"500\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC69410_Cullum.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC69410_Cullum-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC69410_Cullum-768x631.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Small birds may fare even worse at the claws and fangs of felines.

Dogs are loving, affectionate companions, who will do almost anything for their masters. Any dog can learn to beg, and Jack Ziegler plays on a dog&#8217;s willingness to debase himself even to a cat. Maybe this fat cat will throw the dog a bone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc30713\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3149\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC30713_Ziegler.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Ziegler cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC30713_Ziegler.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC30713_Ziegler-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CC30713_Ziegler-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the most important relationship of all is between cats and their owners.
