Felix the Cat is a cartoon character, created during the silent era of film in 1919, by Paramount Pictures. His creator is often disputed but is most commonly attributed to Pat Sullivan. In 1959, Felix The Cat was turned into a made-for-television series of cartoons by Trans-Lux, after Otto Messmer (then and present owner of Felix) retired from making comic strips, and after he was approached by his assistant, Jon Oriolo, to make the character into a TV show. | |||
