Thurl Ravenscroft didn't get his honor for the baddassery of his name, but for being one of the recurring voice actors who sang and performed in numerous Walt Disney animated films (he also sang "You're a Mean One" in How the Grinch Stole Christmas). However, the most famous character whom Ravenscroft voiced was not a Disney character, and was one of the most famous advertising characters in history. Identify this animated feline whom Ravenscroft voiced from 1953 to 2004, generally shown only wearing a red bandanna around his neck. (edited at 10:16 am, July 21, 2017 (PDT))
