Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr.

Sylvester James Pussycat, Sr., also known as Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr. and Sylvester the Cat, is one of the major characters from the Looney Tunes series.
== Charactah Account ==
Sylvester James Pussycat, Sr. is a Tuxedo cat who often chases Tweety, Speedy Gonzales or Hippety Hopper. When depicted with an owner, he is mainly with Granny, but very early on he would be with Porky Pig.
Sylvester shows much pride and he also never gives up. Despite his pride and persistence, Sylvester was definitely on the "loser" side of the Looney Tunes winner/loser hierarchy.
Sylvester's most developed role is as a hapless mouse-catching instructor to his dubious son, Sylvester Junior, in which the "mouse" is a powerful baby kangaroo named "Hippety Hopper". His alternately confident and surprised episodes bring his son to shame, while Sylvester himself is reduced to nervous breakdowns.

== Trivia ==
* Sylvester's name is a pun on silvestris, the scientific name for the wild cat, the ancestor of domestic cats, as well as a rare name for kids (including actor Sylvester Stallone).
* Sylvester has died more times than any other Looney Tunes character, having died in "Peck Up Your Troubles", "I Taw a Putty Tat", "Back Alley Oproar", "Mouse Mazurka", "Bad Ol' Putty Tat", "Ain't She Tweet", "Satan's Waitin'", "Muzzle Tough", "Sandy Claws", "Tweety's Circus", "Too Hop to Handle", "Tree Cornered Tweety", "Tweet and Lovely", "Trick or Tweet", "The Rebel Without Claws", "The Wild Chase", and "Museum Scream".
* Sylvester could be heard in an episode of the game show Press Your Luck. Host Peter Tomarken had earlier incorrectly credited his catchphrase "Suffering Succotash!" to Daffy Duck. Even though all three contestants had correctly answered "Sylvester", they were ruled incorrect. In a segment produced later and edited into the broadcast, Sylvester phoned Tomarken and told him, "Daffy Duck steals from me all the time." This was a joke because Daffy usually says it. In addition, Porky, Speedy and Bugs also joined in on the call too.
* Sylvester makes a cameo in the final scene of the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit with other animated characters.
* Sylvester, Wile E. Coyote, and Bugs Bunny each drove a real Nissan Micra in a 1999 commercial in Italy.
* Three of Sylvester's cartoons have won Academy Awards: "Tweetie Pie" (1947), "Speedy Gonzales" (1955), and "Birds Anonymous" (1957)." He is also the character to star in the most Academy Award-winning cartoons.
