Origin[]
James is a white female cat owned by a princess. She drives and repairs the King's car, and is the romantic partner of Julius the Cat, paralleling her owner's romantic interest in Julius' owner, Jack.
Notes[]
- As "James" is near-exclusively considered a masculine name in the modern day, something not true in the 1920s, and James lacks the gender signifiers found in most female cartoon characters (eyelashes, makeup, e.t.c), modern viewers may interpret James as being a male character, therefore making James and Julius' relationship unintentional LGBTQ+ representation.
