Hello Greg!

I remember Artemis mentioning way back in Season One that she wasn't a big cat fan (cue her firing an arrow at Teekl), which was obviously a fun dig at her sister. Then we move to Season Two and find out her and Wally have adopted a dog named Brucely, adding some level of truth to her previous comment.

This implies that Wally is also more of a dog-person (which tracks with his personality). And we know that Conner and Wolf are a package-deal at this point as well, pretty firmly solidifying his stance on the matter. Garfield, too, now that he has Wingman. But here's my question: why are all of the heroes dog-people? Where are my fellow cat-people hiding?

Klarion and Teekl (who I believe counts despite what Dr. Fate says) are the only ones, and they're villains! I feel that this is a grave injustice for both cat-people and cats in general. And from the man who wrote Catwoman: Hunted, too. For shame!

Sure, you could count Cheshire, but her schtick seems more Alice in Wonderland and less cat-lover. And Catwoman, while existing somewhere on Earth-16, has yet to make an appearance in all her feline fatale goodness. You have plenty of characters and plenty of pets, so why no cats?

(Side note: could you count Tawny the Tiger? Possibly. But Billy was seen playing fetch with Wolf, so he's clearly a traitor.)

I mean, are any of the characters cat-people? A few of them just scream cat-person to me (M'gann, J'onn, Original Roy, Tim, Bruce honestly but the comics seem to disagree, maybe Barbara but Dick seems more of a dog-person so...) but still appear cat-less. Such a shame.

(Hopefully this came across more jokey and less snarky, it just occurred to me during a rewatch in the pet-pile up during the wedding credits, its a bunch of canines and a lizard, haha!)

Hope you're having a cat-tastic day!
