Cartoon Cat

Cartoon Cat is a fictional horror urban legend created by Canadian horror artist Trevor Henderson (Also known as @SlimySwampGhost).

Cartoon Cat's appearance is similar to that of a 1930s cartoon cat, hence the name, but has no resemblance to an actual feline. He is thought to be most similar to an old cartoon, Felix The Cat. Cartoon Cat is all black in color, with cartoony features such as his large, dilated eyes, and his big white cartoon gloves, except for his very realistic looking teeth, which are crooked and yellowed, and often stained with blood, either from his victims, or from clenching his teeth too hard, causing his gums to bleed. Most sightings note the lack of a tail or feet, with the legs ending in blunt points. Though his creator describes him as "malleable", he most often is seen as described above, with just a few changes with some sightings, such as having feet that are simply shoe-shaped, with no toes.

History/ Biography:
Cartoon Cat originated from an image posted online by horror artist Trevor Henderson on August 4, 2018. In the image, we view the inside of an unknown abandoned building, looking at a doorway with a creature resembling a cartoon dog from the 1930s, all black in color, with a rubber hose appearance. The image was captioned: "They're just like your favorite cartoons", which suggests that this is one of many entities like Cartoon Cat, or simply another form the creature taken. Then, on  August 10 , a second image was released to the public, captioned: "What they found in the dirt mall" The image shows the inside of an abandoned dirt mall, with a full-body view of Cartoon Cat approaching the camera. This is the first image of Cartoon Cat in his most recognizable form, with an all black body, round head, cartoony features and the lack of feet or a tail.

Then, five days later on  August 15 , a third image was posted of the creature, with the caption: "All the classics are coming back" featuring Cartoon Cat standing in a crossroad in the middle of the night. The picture looks to be taken from inside a vehicle, with the headlights being the only light source illuminating Cartoon Cat, although because of its height, only the legs and arms are visible, along with Cartoon Cat's head hanging down to the ground off to the side from its long, rubber hose like neck. This is the only image so far that shows the creature with visible "feet" which are simply shoe-like in appearance, with no toes.

On  August 22 , a fourth picture was released, captioned: "For you, Anon" This image was another full-body view of Cartoon Cat, standing in front of an abandoned building, mouth wide open and swaying, and once again lacking feet.

On  September 26 , a very disturbing picture of Cartoon Cat was posted, showing the creature standing in what looks like someone's house. The creature is much smaller here then his previous images, but still taller then an average human being, with much larger teeth and large lips and gums in terrible condition.

On  October 10 , the "Cartoon Cat Fact Sheet" was released, showing a close-up of Cartoon Cat reaching out towards the viewer, with a huge grin full of yellowed teeth dripping with blood, once again, either due to a victim or bleeding gums. Beneath his profile pic is some text that is apparently listing some facts about this mysterious entity, although most of it is blocked out with black bars labeled,  "REDACTED"  Some less-obscured text reads: "Often found in  [REDACTED]  abandoned  [REDACTED] ", " [REDACTED]  show from 1939", "INCREDIBLY CRUEL" , and: "Is thought to be  [REDACTED] ". This suggests that Cartoon Cat is based on, or even possibly came from an old cartoon from 1939, like the popular Indie game, Bendy And The Ink Machine.

More info can be found on Trevor's replies to people's questions on his Tumblr. In these, he states Cartoon Cat is the most dangerous monster in his collection. He also states Cartoon Cat is dangerous so much so that other monsters and creatures alike avoid the mystery dirt mall that is his lair as much as they can "If they know what's good for them" When asked why Cartoon Cat poses such a threat, Trevor simply replies: "Unchecked limitations"

Cartoon Cat is featured a lot in popular media such as YouTube, in gameplay videos, short animation stories, etc.

This is all that is currently known about Cartoon Cat.

Powers and Abilities:
Cartoon Cat is vastly powerful, and has a number of strange supernatural abilities, some of which includes:


 * High Intelligence
 * Cunning
 * High Speed
 * Super Strength
 * Great Eyesight
 * Great Hearing
 * Shapeshifting
 * Teleportation
 * Telepathy
 * Immortality

Cartoon Cat is said to have "unchecked limitations", and it's possible he is the devil himself. That being said, he is extremely over-powered.

Weaknesses:
Cartoon Cat is seemingly undefeatable, and some fans would like to keep it that way. There are no cannon weaknesses for this entity. However, we can still theorize plausable ways to defeat him, though there are few. If the creature is held in existence by the Tulpa Effect, which is most likely, then you can research the history and abilities of cartoons to use against Cartoon Cat. But this presents its own set of problems: These types of cartoons are functionally immortal, and are so for a reason-they're targeted at very young audiences, and are meant to be funny. And this seemingly goes double for cat cartoons, like Tom from Tom & Jerry. Now we just emphasized CC's immunity to damage.

However, if you are trying to escape from Cartoon Cat, then you can take a different strategy.

What makes Cartoon Cat so powerful is that he seems to disregard the normal laws of physics, and instead seems to follow cartoon physics. If you didn't already know, the term describes a list of rules for animation adhered to by the big companies such as Warner Brothers, MGM, and Disney. Later on these rules were published and canonized in Esquire Magazines, by Mark O'Donnell. Although these rules were unofficially being observed as early as the 1920s, the concept of "cartoon physics" is common knowledge, and we can all assume that even if Cartoon Cat took on another form, these rules would still apply to him.

We've all heard of creepypastas and monsters in general created and hyped up as undedeatable, but CC is different. If you ever seen those YouTube videos of fictional characters fighting from movies and TV shows only with health bars, then imagine the likes of say, zombies, Big Foot, and Siren Head with health bars. Imagine the zombies have the lowest for obvious reasons, and Siren Head the highest for being a large creature. Ghosts don't have a health bar because they already expired, but there are rules for how to remove them from our world. CC however, isn't a ghost, and is pretty much all powerful. When you think about it, everything abides by special sets of rules. Let's say for example, logic itself is a rule, in which living beings can be injured and killed and vary in strength and how much they can take based on size and such. Then there are cartoon physics. Like scripting, these rules were created for how certain things act. Man created fiction and stories, and anything can happen in a story, because we create it. Cartoon Physics are made as they are because they were created while making entertainment for the young and innocent. Blood and injury wouldn't fly with children, so it is completely excluded. So in the end, you can't combine one set of rules-logic-with another-cartoon physics-as they work completely differently from one another. Like a computer script, the rules only work exactly as instructed unless told otherwise by the creator.

That being said, even if we can't kill him, we can use the rules of cartoon physics to stall Cartoon Cat long enough to make your escape.

Now, admittedly, most of the 10 core rules outlined in the article on cartoon physics are more on Cartoon Cat's side then yours. For example, one rule states: "As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once" This doesn't bode especially well for when Cartoon Cat decides its had enough fun toying with you, and starts to chase you for real. Other rules, such as: "A body in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation" can be useful if you were to lure the creature over the third floor railing within an abandoned mall, but as you, a human, obey the rules of logic, there's no way you're gonna get him to walk over the edge unless you yourself were willing to jump to your doom to do it. So we can scratch that.

Another rule you could try is: "Certain bodies can pass through walls painted to look like tunnel entrances, others cannot, especially the one who painted the tunnel to trick an opponent" To get this trick to work, you'd have to make sure Cartoon Cat sees you at the right angle to make it look like you're going through the painted tunnel, for example, a sharp turn, or a hallway entrance. But because of the part about being the guy who painted the entrance, that has to be scrapped also.

Another rule could work: "All principles of gravity are negated by fear; a spooky noise, or an adversary's signature sound will induce motion upwards" Well, since it's obvious that a cartoon cat's enemy is a dog, simply play a recording of a barking dog, and Cartoon Cat should leap into the air, leaving a large Cartoon-Cat-shaped hole in the ceiling.

But don't fall back on any one trick too many times, for there's another rule not outlined in the article, but is a common rule among comedic story telling in general. The rule states: "A running joke can be repeated twice, then once more with some sort of added twist, to prevent things from getting stale" So that's good to keep in mind.

So basically, think of all the classic things that happen to the old-fashioned cartoons, such as cats being attracted to red light lasers and stuff, and you can gain a few minutes with each stall.

But you can't actually kill Cartoon Cat, because the rules he abides don't include death...or do they? Admittedly, this is a long-shot, but hear us out. If you ever seen the movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", then you likely seen the scene where Judge Doom reveals his method of toon execution, which is a toxic brew of Turpentine, Acetone, and Benzine, which he calls "The Dip". The scene where he uses his concoction to dissolve a defenseless cartoon shoe may have scarred a generation of children for life, unsurprisingly, but this does provide insight on how you can take down this powerful entity. While the raw ingredients themselves may be hard to come by as an average joe, there are products that contain them. For example, Turpentine is a product of pine resin, found in paint thinners and even Vick's Vaporub. Acetone, another solvent, is found in paint strippers and also in Nail Polish Remover. Benzine, a hydrocarbon, comes from crude oil, forest fires, ciggarette smoke, etc. and can be found in paint, paint thinners, gasoline and other fuels, glue, detergent, etc. Most of this stuff is kind of hard to come by in a mall, especially an abandoned one, but things like the paint we considered for the false door earlier, bottles of glue and nail polish removers can be found scattered around. The important ingredients may be really diluted, but it can still cause significant structural integrity loss to Cartoon Cat, enough to slip out of his grasp and escape.

But remember, if you haven't actually killed the creature, you're in big trouble, as since he is a cartoon, he'll heal soon and be perfectly fine, and that's bad, for cartoons are known for revenge, especially cats like Tom, and this thing also. So it's likely gonna hunt you down and end you and all those closest to you, and there'd probably be absolutely nothing you could do, due to his great power. You only had a chance in the first place because, iro ically, he is so over powered, he is cocky and toys with his victims often. But now you gave him the huge shock that you can actually threaten his existence, and now he's likely not gonna mess around until you are gone, in a cruel way too, because of his likely vengeful nature against humans and his sadiatic ways in general.

So in the end, why risk it? Don't be the dum-dum in the horror movies who always investigates when something dangerous and supernatural happens, instead of running in the opposite direction. You don't need THAT special footage for your Urban Exploration YT channel. Be smart. You can't hide from Cartoon Cat once he's got you in his sights and on his kill list.
