As a very important part of our daily life, pets have a profound impact on our lives, and this impact is deeper than we think. Today, the meaning of pets is not only a kind of entertainment and accessories in life, but cats have become a spiritual totem along with various human literary and artistic creations.
You may not have feelings for cats, or even not interested in keeping pets, but you must be familiar with the images created by humans through the appearance of cats. You don’t believe it? Let's take a look at the images of some of the most famous cats in the world in this article! Take a look at how a cat sitting on an elegant throne has captured the hearts of those who don't even care about pets.
1. Garfield from the comic animation "Garfield's Happy Life"
Garfield appears in an American comic strip, created by Jim Davis, as an orange-colored, fat cat who loves fast food for humans. Garfield likes to be cynical and sarcastic, and his words often have a bit of dark humor. He is lazy and greedy, but he is kind and sometimes brave. From Garfield, we can see that although it is a cat's shape, its personality is closer to that of a human being. The problems encountered are also common in people's daily life, such as losing weight, disgusting Monday, indifference to things, and various troubles. Through comics, and then to TV, this fat cat has captured the whole world for decades. Loved by countless people around the world, he has become a very successful comic character. Garfield's famous saying is: love me, feed me, don't leave me!
2. Doraemon from the comic "Doraemon"
He is a fat cat with close to human characteristics, and a fat cat from the future with a sense of technology. That's right, this is the character in the famous Japanese animation "Doraemon". It is a cat-like robot from the 22nd century, who travels from the future to help the elementary school student Nobi Nobita to resolve the difficulties encountered. It is afraid of mice, loves to eat dorayaki, and can take out all kinds of magical props from the ever-changing pocket to help the hero, which is believed to be a childhood memory of many people. Who wouldn't want to have such a cute and versatile cat to help him solve all kinds of difficulties in life?
3. Tom from Tom and Jerry
"Tom and Jerry" is a cartoon produced by MGM in the late 1930s. It depicts a pair of happy friends/enemies through the image of a cat and a mouse. Among them, the blue and gray domestic cat Tom is more like a tragicomedy character. Today, more than 80 years after the animation was released, it is still not outdated, and it is deeply loved by people of all ages around the world. It even became an emoji package and became popular again on the Internet. Not long ago, animation director Gene Deitch, who directed 13 "Tom and Jerry" films, died on April 16 at the age of 95. This sparked nostalgia for the great director and this world-renowned animation.
4. Schrödinger's cat
The cats mentioned above are all cats created in animation or comics, but the cat to be introduced below is a real cat image. But it can also be said that it never actually existed, but in the end it left a name for eternity, which is "Schrödinger's cat". Schrödinger is a famous Austrian physicist and a representative of quantum theory in the physical world. How did such a physicist have a relationship with cats? This also starts with a study by Schrödinger. He proposed an interesting thought experiment about cats in 1935. The laboratory is like this: in a box there is a cat, and a small amount of radioactive material. After that, there is a 50% chance that the radioactive material will not decay and the cat will survive. But outside observers won't know the outcome of the cat's life or death until the box is opened. Before opening the box, the cat is forever in a state of both life and death, a superposition of life and death, which has become a fascinating and representative experiment to explain quantum mechanics. Because people often encounter such things that are difficult to determine their state in their lives, "Schrödinger's cat" has gradually become a daily term for people. This hypothetical cat has also become one of the most famous cat images in the world
