Creamo Catnera is a boxer and anthropomorphic cat from Mouseton.
Description[]
Creamo Catnera is a cat who was, as per his own account, born in a shack in Mouseton. He was expelled from school for getting into physical fights with his teacher. He later fled town after knocking over a steamroller. He returned to Mouseton in 1931 to fight the world's heavy-lightweight boxing champion, Ruffhouse Rat, in a high-profile championship match. Due to Ruffhouse's cowardice, Creamo's boxing opponent ended up being Ruffhouse's trainer Mickey Mouse, who defeated the cat thanks to help from his friend, Butch.
Physical Appearance[]
Creamo Catnera is a very large and muscular black cat.
Behind the scenes[]
Creamo Catnera first appeared in 1931's Mickey Mouse, Boxing Champion, playing the role of the story's main antagonist. The strip in which he first debuted was originally released on March the 25th, 1931. He was created as a parody of boxer Primo Carnera.[1]
A year later, in the animated short, Barnyard Olympics, a similar character appeared. This character was also a large, muscular, black cat, athlete, and opponent of Mickey Mouse. It is unknown if the two were supposed to be the same character. Some descriptions of the short claim that the character in Barnyard Olympics is actually Peg-Leg Pete. However, Pete's design from Alice Comedies and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is also seen in the short as a separate character, which, unless Bear Pete and Cat Pete are actually separate characters, would mean that the cat athlete can't possibly be Peg-Leg Pete in-universe.
