Sylvester the Cat is a Looney Tunes star who now teaches at Acme Looniversity. He is the mentor and favorite teacher of Furrball. On the Looney Tunes shorts, he is usually depicted as Granny's pet cat, and the archenemy of Tweety Bird and Speedy Gonzales.
Appearances on Tiny Toon Adventures
Sylvester is voiced by both Jeff Bergman and the late Joe Alaskey on Tiny Toon Adventures.
Sylvester appears briefly in the Season 1 premiere, The Looney Beginning. During Bugs' song about Acme Looniversity, he is seen being hit with a shovel by Tweety Bird in Villain Whopping class.
Sylvester appears in the Test Stress episode segment, Li'l Sneezer, as Furrball's Mentor. He shows him the Hall of Cartoon Pussycats, featuring such stars as Helix (a parody of Felix), Garfunkel (a parody of Garfield), Tom Injury (a parody of Tom from Tom & Jerry), and of course, Sylvester himself (a giant gold statue of him). He assigns Furrball to catch a mouse, promising him a spot in the Hall of Cartoon Pussycats if he succeeds. He also requests that the mouse Furrball catches be put in a sandwich, as he missed lunch. When Furrball fails to capture Li'l Sneezer, he tells Sylvester about his adventure by sneezing on him (having caught a cold from the little mouse), which sends his mentor crashing into the statue of him, to which the dazed Sylvester replies, "Gesundheit!" This is the only time we see Sylvester and Furrball together.
Sylvester appears in the Season 1 episode, The Acme Bowl, alongside Porky Pig as the announcer for Acme Looniversity in their football game against Perfecto Prep. A running gag in the episode is that whenever he talks, his spit fills up the booth, gradually flooding it.
In Fields of Honey, Sylvester is briefly shown at a meeting held by Babs at Acme Looniversity with a majority of the other Looney Tunes teaching staff. Babs is so intent and overzealous on them building a "really big theater" and show nothing but Honey cartoons so that people would come and watch because the "strange voice" (revealed later as Bosko) told her to do so, that she appears to be going mad (even drooling over the table). They promptly send her to the nurse's office to see Elmyra, who also concludes that she is had gone crazy.
In Animaniacs, Sylvester appears briefly sitting with the Looney Tunes characters, after Tweety's line, he says his line, "Sufferin' succotash!"
In Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?, he appears briefly where he is about to eat Tweety, but Granny whacks him with an umbrella.
