Meathead is a brown, mangy, generally dull-witted cat who first appeared in the 1943 short, Sufferin' Cats!, as Tom's rival. Meathead later reappeared in Baby Puss (in which he serves as the thirshonary & minor archenemy/a recurring villain) and additional shorts as one of Tom's alley cat buddies/foes. Meathead resembles Lightning, though the two are not the same and have appeared side-by-side in two cartoons. He was voiced by Clarence Nash, Mel Blanc, Joe Alaskey, Colin Murdock, Tom Kenny, Dave B. Mitchell, Rick Zieff, Na'im Lynn and John DiMaggio.
