Revision as of 11:34, 11 October 2021

Lightning is an orange cat who first appeared in the 1948 short Old Rockin' Chair Tom as Tom's rival. Lightning is named as such because in his first short, he practically moved at the speed of lightning. In later cartoons, Lightning often appeared as one of Tom's alley cat friend/foes. he is either depicted as a house cat or an alley cat.

He also made appearance in 1960s era in Switchin' Kitten & Catty-Cornered.
