Description
A little late birthday gift for .But as you can see...the little bit of time needed is what was required to complete the magic. ;D
Year after year; the birthday pics I do for him end up being some of my best works. And this year; I think I have created another triumph.
And why not? If ever a tribute to his all time favorite feline Kitty Katswell; I think I managed to do so.
Basing the idea of Sly Cooper's own lineage; John created another lineage for Kitty Katswell. Only they're mostly the law abiding type; and apparently....great innovators. Heh heh....I suppose we love to pin on more merits for our favorite characters don't we Johnny boy? XD
Well anyways; like Sly Cooper Kitty's ancestors go way way back; as far as Caveman times. Or at least when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Kitty's earliest ancestor "Fred" (the "Bob" of her timeline if you will) started the whole feline ball rolling. From then on out the timeline descends to Egyptain times when Kleokatra rises as the pharoah's savior. Then onto Roman times when we meet the gladiator extraordinaire Katsicus. Vikings also had a Katswell later down the road with the burly Henrik von Katswell.
And then there are the Arabian Nights made complete with Kareem Abdul Katswell. Kitty must've have had second to distant relatives since the next ancestor in line from Kareem was Sir Raleigh; the knight who apparently fought in the crusades. (Quite a conflict of interests there from the previous timeline eh? XD) The Age of Exploration would follow with Marianna el Katswell and her discoveries. Such discoveries would apparently give way to of course; the obligatory ninja ancestor. Enter the ninja Tomo Ame Katswell.
And what follows ninjas? Aye; that be pirates of course. Captain "10 Claws" Katswell and her real buccaneer attitude and attire. Further down we have Kitty's gunslinging sheriff ancestor Sheriff Annie Katswell; you have a ninja and a pirate ancestor, odds are you have a wild gun of the West in there too. ;D Follow closely by someone who is old enough to be her mother: Wilma Katswell who helped in WW I with her skills at weaving for the war effort.
So at the bottom 2 are the ones who pretty much shaped who Kitty would ultimately become after such a prestigious heritage. There is Detective Dick Katswell; nod to infamous Dick Tracy of course. Same banana colored coat and everything. ;D
And of course; we get Kitty's father. Sean Connery Katswell. Named after...who else...but the first James Bond.
And at the tip of the timeline arrow is that frisky feline agent herself: Kitty Katswell.
Well there you have it folks. And there you have it John. I hope you enjoy this very much as I did making it and organizing it.
Kitty Katswell belongs to Nickelodeon
All Kitty's ancestors listed belong to

Actually, he's from the Cretaceous period.

Personally I think that "Fred" Would have had a very similar decedent in the Ice Age Pawshan Katswell.

The name Pawshan that I came up with was based on Roshan. (Baby from 1st Ice Age movie)

It’s sort of like the Sly Cooper lineage.
He had an ancestor who served in WW1 but not one that served in WW2.

Probably a tribute to the character from Usagi Yojimbo.

That's a very impressive background!
Wait, "Tomoe Ame" Katswell?! That actually kinda makes sense.

shinragod In reply to Flashshadow [2015-02-18 19:53:45 +0000 UTC]
In that the character from Usagi Yojimbo could be one of her ancestors?
Yes I suppose it does in this parallel universe.

Flashshadow In reply to shinragod [2015-02-18 23:49:20 +0000 UTC]
Indeed, it is.
Speaking of parallels the two do have a lot in common. They are both cat girls of similar fur and hair color. They have a strong sense of justice and duty and they are both very skillful in hand-to-hand and weapon combat.

shinragod In reply to Flashshadow [2015-02-19 01:40:25 +0000 UTC]
Yes. Though I think Tomoe is the more serious of the two.

BluMoonToons [2014-06-29 04:32:23 +0000 UTC]
Wow... this is quite the impressive piece you got here. Very reflective of everyone's favorite frisky feline agent.
I do love all of these designs for the Katswell family line. I get a very Aladdin vibe off Kareem, and I'm guessing that he may have had an encounter with a genie or two.
Is Wilma based on Amelia Earhart? Hopefully Wilma made it across the Pacific, though judging by her age, she might have gone there and beyond. ;D
Sean Connery Katswell? Hmm... well, at least her could be one smooth cat... and hopefully doesn't dress up as a teddy bear. XD
Do really love all the work that went into this. Very great gift, friendo.

TUFFAgentShepherd In reply to BluMoonToons [2014-07-02 19:00:55 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I kinda figured Kitty would have a great lineage like Sly Cooper.
Actually, yeah. Kareem DOES have a genie as part of his Freedom Fighter group. He's a scorpion by the name of Stingabahd.
Well, kinda. But, I see what ya mean by going there and beyond.
Oh, back in Sean's day, the Chief made him go undercover as a LOT more embarrassing stuff. And given Kitty's crap-ton of embarrassing disguises on the show, I guess it runs in the family.
I'm really glad you like the ancestors I gave everyone's favorite feline, man. Really means a lot to me.

MrWorkingTitle [2014-05-04 07:27:31 +0000 UTC]
Wow! This is incredible! Hey do you read the comic series "Usagi Yojimbo", I only ask because one of the major characters in it happens to be named Tomoe Ame and also happens to be a cat, the series also has "neko-ninja" as reoccurring antagonists in the story.

shinragod In reply to MrWorkingTitle [2014-05-04 22:25:40 +0000 UTC]
Thank you.
This idea was based on something did; and according to him the answer is: yes. She is named after the cat Tomoe Ame from Usagi Yojimbo. We like to think of it as a tribute to the character. ;D

TUFFAgentShepherd In reply to shinragod [2014-05-04 22:27:05 +0000 UTC]
That I did.
I figured since Tomo beared a strong resemblance to Kitty, I figured "Hey, why not make a reference to her with one of her ancestors?"

shinragod In reply to TUFFAgentShepherd [2014-05-05 17:37:53 +0000 UTC]
It seems fessible. I think lots of folks like to reference other works to pay homage to those they are drawing.

awesome drawing
i do not know that much about mine family tree, but i do know is that one of my ancestor's was a soldier who fought against the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was rewarded with a little medal but unfortanely he lost it.

It's a shame it got lost. That would have been an amazing heirloom with a great piece of history behind it.

Wow. It would of been cool if you just drew the Katswell ancestors by themselves. But you went beyond that and did something really unbelievably cool. It's awesome seeing all of them together like this on a family tree.
I read some of the comments and I'm wondering would you ever do the same thing with the Puppy ancestors I've made, that you've done here ?

Thanks man! I do my best to please.
Yes as a matter of fact; Id love to do Dudley's ancestors you've made in this style. It'd be cool and feel more complete.

Sure they are Captain Douglas "Steel Paw" Puppy, Bounty Hunter Faye Puppy-Houndston, Pilot Herman Puppy, and Pat Puppyton, sidekick to Dick Katswell
