Conrad the Cat is a Warner Bros. animated character who starred in a few shorts in the 1940s. He was voiced by Mel Blanc and Pinto Colvig.

Description[]

Conrad first appeared in the 1942 short "The Bird Came C.O.D." before featuring in "Porky's Cafe" (1942) and "Conrad the Sailor" (1942), which also featured Daffy Duck.

Conrad is often compared to Goofy from Walt Disney Productions, but "has only mannerisms (he rubs his nose a lot and grins foolishly), and not a personality," according to animation historian Michael Barrier.^[2]

Trivia[]

In his first appearance where he is voiced by Mel Blanc, he is mute except for his laugh, which sounds similar to Disney character Goofy's laugh. Pinto Colvig (who also voiced Goofy) would voice Conrad is his last cartoon.
According to Martha Sigall, the ink and paint department thought that Conrad looked like a caricature of Jones himself.^[3]
