One of the most famous animals in the history of animated films is the cat Silvestre. A small black and white mongrel feline with a big red nose that always tries to hunt Tweety, a very cunning canary who escapes, sometimes by the hair, from being eaten by his companion.
But fortunately for the bird, on many occasions he has had someone to help him: his beloved grandmother. However, When was the character of Silvestre created and for what purpose?
First appearances
Sylvester the cat first appeared in a movie titled Tweetie Pie in 1947, and later did so in Birds Anonymous in 1957. However, we were able to see Piolín and Silvestre together between 1991 and 1995 in Spain.
Sylvester's Character
This is a character that tries to imitate real cats. Cats are predators, they hunt whatever they can. Their instincts are so ingrained that it is very difficult - though not impossible - for them to live together with their usual prey. The story of Silvestre and Tweety may be that of other cats and small animals living under the same roof, while his caretaker, the human, tries to stay calm.
This is a character that all of us in our twenties keep in some corner of our memory. A friendly cat that, guided by its instincts: behaves as what it really is, at the same time that Tweety says the much remembered words: »I thought I saw a cute kitten. It's true! Yes, I saw a cute kitten!».
