These characters are timeless because they’re so simple. The rule-breaker, the rule-follower, the wait, and the chaos. It’s a perfect little play of personalities.
So next time you see a Cat in a Hat, smile. And maybe hide your expensive vase. Just in case. You can’t be too careful around a cat who brings his own cleanup crew.
And remember: if you ever feel like a Fish in a world of Thing Twos, just hold on. The Cat will eventually leave. And your house will be clean. Probably.
