Felix The CAT Statue

Made By Uncle Sam USA IN GOD WE TRUST

Felix the Cat was the biggest cartoon star of the silent era – bar none. He was the first giant balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. The Yankees adopted him as their mascot in 1922. Charles Lindbergh took a Felix doll with him on his famous transatlantic flight.

Felix the Cat, one of the first major figures in animation's long history of anthropomorphic everyman types and a direct forerunner to Mickey Mouse, is remembered today largely through the television reboot of the character in the 1950s, which still has a following among animation aficionados.

Felix the Cat is a cartoon character created in 1919 by Pat Sullivan and Otto Messmer during the silent film era. An anthropomorphic young black cat with white eyes, a black body, and a giant grin, he is often considered one of the most recognized cartoon characters in film history.
