Cats in Ginga

Post by TenderVulture »

So, from the Hanako manga, we know Yoshi can draw cats. So, 1. Would you be interested in a potential cat character in Ginga 2. How do you think this cat would be portrayed 3. How do you think the Ohu Army would react to a cat as an ally?

I personally think any cat character would be introduced as either a minor character or the companion of a dog that wanted to join Ohu or an Ohu ally. I think the cat would need to stick close to a trustworthy dog (because Ohu is mostly made up of hunting dogs) but could eventually earn the respect of the pack if circumstances worked out right.

I've always thought about how cats would look as a main attraction for a Ginga arc. I have an idea in mind where the Ou army meets a good gang of stray cats in a city. And later the army offers the cat gang to live with them in Paradise. That would break a barrier of just for dogs in Paradise.

I would love that! Maybe there's a special skill that these cats have that the Ohu army doesn't. I also like to imagine a cat snuggling with a battle hardened Ohu soldier.

I never thought about it before! That's an interesting question.
I honestly can't see cats holding their own against a Ginga dog, you hardly even see tiny dog breeds in the series and they don't seem to be able to do much battle wise but a cat as a companion or being able to help by doing things the dogs can't would be neat. Maybe they find kittens abandoned and raise them like they've done with puppies before.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Maybe as spies or filling similar roles to the ninja dog characters.

There's Kevin's appearance in Hanako.

Image

But Kevin also briefly appeared in Wagaya No Meru.

Image

And then there's these creatures that appeared in one panel in GDWO.

Takahashi did very nice-looking cats before (scroll down to see the photos). Those wallpaper artworks were commissioned by the local animal shelter and they look absolutely astonishing.

They would propably be a nice companion, though I'm not sure how a cat would work out during these fights between superdogs 😅
