2. Are you thinking maybe of Fritz the Cat?

Felix the Cat was a daily comic strip. Fritz the Cat was a satiric spin off of the family comic.

4. Felix was my early childhood hero!

Here's a bit o' trivia. The very first image 'broadcast' to a television set was a shot of a Felix the Cat figurine, sent across the room from camera to tube. This means Felix was the fist thing on any TV, anywhere, ever. A trailblazer, a cat ahead of time, a leading indicator of media trends.
