Character Overview[]

Bio[]

Sonja is the girlfriend to Heathcliff. She is a female cat owned by Herb and Mrs. Jablonski. Her last name is Jablonski for her owner's last name.

Personality[]

Sonja in the comic strip and Ruby-Spears cartoons is loyal to Heathcliff to a great extent. She never cheats on him, but in the comic series from 1985-1991 comic book series and the series Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats, sometimes, other cats like Pussini, Pecks Beefcake or Knuckles attempt to woo her, which seems to wind up facing Heathcliff's rage. Despite her mild appearance and conduct, she is not a pushover - in the episode Terrible Tammy, Sonja stepped in to fight Tammy because Heathcliff was neither going to fight nor back down from the bullying female feline, proving Sonja can fight with skills on par with Heathcliff.

Appearance[]

Sonja is a white, fluffy Persian cat, or possibly an Angora. She is often seen with a pink bow around her neck and a pink ribbon on a single strand of hair on the top of her head. She also has a little beauty mark under her left eye. The sclera of her eyes is pale blue.

In the Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats cartoon, Sonja is seen having two distinctive cheek hair variants:

  • some episodes portay her with protruding cheek hair, which makes Sonja's head resemble a pear;
  • in other episodes, Sonja's cheek hair tend to surround her head regularly, giving it oval shape.
