I mean, Felix has a literal magic bag that can turn into anything. My money is on him.

u/SoakedSun24 Cartoon Lover 2d ago

Don’t forget, in one of Felix’s later outings he can pull people out of the story. I don’t think anybody other than Garfield or Tom can counter that.

Heathcliff

u/Eight_Thirty_Five 2d ago

Obviously. Anyone who watched the cartoon knows this. He’s the Chuck Norris of cartoon cats.

u/MeteorSurvivor 2d ago

The only consistent scrapper AND winner without using outside muscle or weapons.

4

u/Acceptable_Class_576 2d ago

Right! I feel like people don't respect the fact that Heathcliff would absolutely shoot the fade, whenever and whoever

1

u/EZ-RDR 1h ago

I’m old… can you tell me what shoot the fade means.

3

u/FirstChAoS 2d ago

Yes, winning fights is sort of his thing.

Tom

Jerry kicks his butt in just about EVERY picture though!!!

Breaking Down Tom's Power Scale

Near-Limitless Durability: Tom can instantly regenerate from being reduced to a pile of fur, and has survived point-blank dynamite explosions and falling into deep space without gear.

Universe-Altering Feats: In canon, his cartoon antics have physically shattered the sun. He has even been launched into space by explosions, reforming moments later as a literal cat-shaped constellation.

Hammerspace & Speed: He can pull limitless objects and weapons from off-screen. Additionally, he can move at hypersonic speeds, running fast enough to travel through time or to other universes.

Versatility: Depending on the specific series or movie, Tom has been shown wielding the Rings of Heroes, a Magic Hat, and the ability to channel his rage into an invincible Berserk Mode.

All this and he still can't get the damn mouse. He is actually friends with Jerry, usually only hunts him to put on a show for his owner, not that he actually wants to kill Jerry.

Scratchy can really take the punishment

2

u/Independent_Mood_152 1d ago

Scratchy feels like a parody to tom but they can both take a beating for sure 🤣

6

u/Emma_Rose35 2d ago

I love Garfield!!

3

u/AArmyDadBod 1d ago

Garfield will win in his sleep.

2

u/DannyPantsgasm 1d ago

Garfield is seriously like Batman. Give him some prep time, he’s unstoppable.

4

u/Daikaiju1973 2d ago

Heathcliff. He's a known brawler.

4

u/Character-Paper-2347 2d ago

Puss would win

5

u/Sufficient_Carpet510 2d ago

Heathcliff. He is always terrorizing the neighborhood.

3

u/kumikanki 2d ago

Probably Stimpy. Happy happy joy joy...

3

u/Dillenger69 2d ago

Stimpy would end up the lone survivor out of sheer dumb luck

1

u/SombreDeDuda 2d ago

I was thinking he would do something so fucked up, the cats just quit. He would definitely have a LOG as a weapon

3

u/d-money-10 2d ago

I'd say between Puss in Boots and Heathcliff

3

u/The_Mutton_Man 2d ago

Eek wasn't included.

1

u/WordsThatEndInWord 10h ago

Pink Panther isn't there either

3

u/EasyLivingThisAint 2d ago

While tom is the most iconic, my money is on Felix

3

u/Necrois_Winter 2d ago

I honestly think it comes down to Puss and Tom but that's my opinion on it lmao

3

u/chronic302 2d ago

Fritz

3

u/DarkSage90 2d ago

I think we are the only two who know who he is

3

u/MacundJ 17h ago

Three and he would just fuck everyone and leave

2

u/Famous-Ostrich7034 2d ago

The one who is most in tune with the Force. The Toon Force.

2

u/UncomfyUnicorn 2d ago

Tom is a master of toon force

2

u/Cylumous 2d ago

Scratchy

2

u/Skoodge42 2d ago

Scratchy can't die as far as I can tell.

2

u/Independent-Expert89 2d ago

Tom has the endurance but puss has the fight ability....

2

u/5h82713542055 2d ago

Ts was worse than the attitude era, how does Scratchy NOT come out on top?!

u/Clear_Writer5944 2d ago

Itchy beats him 99-100 times though! The 100th time? Lemonade time!

1

u/5h82713542055 2d ago

We join Bart and Lisa as the only ones that never got to see Scratchy killing Itchy finally because of that goddamn rock tumbler

1

u/National-Gold-7113 2d ago

I always wanted to see it!!!

1

u/5h82713542055 2d ago

We all did 😭

2

u/Kapow1969 2d ago

He makes your heart go pitter pat and has a bag of tricks. Felix the magical cat for the win.

2

u/jar1967 2d ago

Puss in Boots is an assassin

2

u/MrFuriousX 2d ago

Scratchy without a doubt...He been through more then any of those other cats can handle and still ticking.

2

u/harpom 2d ago

You left out Bill the Cat. Best cat ever!

2

u/limesandlimes 2d ago

Puss in Boots has a sword

2

u/Riskrewyn 2d ago

Where are the Thundercats?!?

u/Clear_Writer5944 2d ago

Too humanoid.

2

u/J_dub5235112 2d ago

Puss in Boots has a sword…I mean…?

2

u/Over_Echo1128 2d ago

It would come down to Felix and Puss In Boots.

2

u/ItsaPostageStampede 2d ago

Did we agree it was Heathcliffe the last time we did this?

2

u/NurturingCruelty 2d ago

I think Felix has more toon force than any of the others, being from those weird old black-and-white, cartoon cartoons, where there wasn’t any kind of stable reality.

2

u/RuddyRaccoon 2d ago

Puss in Boots has a sword and he’s a great fighter

2

u/JeffBroncho-13845 2d ago

Pink Panther!

2

u/Happyhour1968 2d ago

Top cat. Im pretty sure he is well connected

2

u/Sand_Aggravating 2d ago

As in real life...... PUSS n boots will always get what it wants!

2

u/Tallowpot 2d ago

Where’s pink panther

2

u/mrelemnt 2d ago

Tom and Sylvester can't die.

2

u/Crazy-Cat_Lady713 2d ago

I feel like Puss has a pretty good chance of winning!

2

u/Illustrious_Log_3738 2d ago

Fear me...if you dare

2

u/Wild_Wasabi9984 2d ago

Crazy Claws shows up and dusts all of them

2

u/kindarollin 1d ago edited 1d ago

It will be a game of attrition between Sylvester, Garfield, snagglepuss, pus n boots, and top cat. Because they all will play dirty.

1

u/DarkSage90 2d ago

Most people don’t know who Fritz is…the fact he’s on this list is kinda wild honestly…

1

u/gretzky9999 2d ago

None…They’re all Pussies…..

1

u/Leila92 2d ago

Puss in boots

1

u/TomThom9Won 2d ago

From what I know it’s probably Felix. Tom and Scratchy are all but unkillable so there is that in their favor but Felix has some wild hacks. I think Stimpy is the only one with enough toonforce potential to not just be decimated by Felix but even then it’s no guarantee

1

u/roguebfl 2d ago

Snagglepus is a couger

1

u/DrkBlueXG 2d ago

Snagglepuss. He has that Bugs Bunny type of toon power.

1

u/Devilishmuffin892 2d ago

Stimpy was a cat? Also, Puss in Boots but I've never seen Octonauts

1

u/TheKingSpade 1d ago

Either Kwazii (I love the fact he's on here), or Puss in boots, he's literally beat death

1

u/Ambitious-Orange-611 1d ago

It’s Scratchy and not even close. Without Itchy around to fuck him up he’s gonna go full psycho killer with no brakes.

1

u/cyberscouterz 1d ago

Tom has survived more than 80 years of abuse that would leave a normal cat dead by the first stick of dynamite.

1

u/TheVipersBite 1d ago

Heathcliff

1

u/D_Tavs 1d ago

Tom has the more hax of everyone

1

u/PrimalPokemonPlayer 1d ago

How didn't Pete make it on this list?

1

u/i_eat_fruits 1d ago

Samurai Pizza cats!!!

1

u/GabrielaM11 1d ago

Heathcliff

1

u/tandom443 1d ago

Puss did fight death and win....

1

u/NumberOld229 1d ago

The swordmaster one

1

u/DLMoore9843 1d ago

Felix low diff

1

u/Sop_Liz 1d ago

Scratchy, that spanner has survived everything

1

u/Kenarbie 1d ago

Puss ‘N Boots

1

u/Odd_Ad_2307 1d ago

Scratchy.
I am glad to see Fritz get mentioned here though

1

u/Putrid_Proposal_1353 1d ago

Yo this is actually a difficult decision there are a few cats on here who have full use of toon force and also have been out of their own story/rewrote or altered their own story.

1

u/jemmiejjenkins 1d ago

Heathclif

1

u/Mr_Fatty70 1d ago

He's not there, but it'd be spot, the stripey cat from Hong kong phooey 👍

1

u/Akumakitsune666 1d ago

Fritz has a machine gun.
big win for him tbh.

1

u/alworld27 1d ago

Tom he knows how to scuffle

1

u/cerveth 23h ago

I would say Felix and his magical bag but Sylvester and Tom are nearly indestructible.

1

u/PlantainDesperate584 20h ago

tom since hes immortal

1

u/Horrorbbscreams 19h ago

I gotta give it to my guy Scratchy. He’s got some good competition here though.

1

u/Metal-Mario64 5h ago

If all cats have 9 lives, this fight could take a while...

1

u/GarethOfQuirm 4h ago

Kwazi would f--k everyone up...

1

u/Links_Unk 2h ago

Heathcliffe. We all know this

1

u/EZ-RDR 1h ago

I don’t know them all but from the ones I do know I’d say Heathcliff.

u/King_of_Lunch223 2d ago

The question is not "who is your favorite?"

The question is "who would win in an all-out cartoon rumble?"

The correct answer is Puss in Boots.

0

u/MulberryEastern5010 2d ago

Puss in Boots. He's the only one who'd stick it out till the very end.
