Although she inspired one of my own characters (and "inspired" is the key word, there's little resemblance) I've not gotten around to drawing Tom's romantic interest until now. When looking up reference images, I discovered why. Although we generally think of a slinky white kitten, fact is her design was never locked down. She changes wildly from short to short, so it's no wonder I didn't know how to draw her! Here's a doodle based on one of her many appearances....

In at least one of the old cartoons, she signed a letter with "Toodles." Sounds like more of a pet name, but we'll go with it. The "Galore" I believe was added decades later by fans, likely as a play on Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore from GOLDFINGER. So far as I know, she never had an official name at MGM, but Toodles Galore works for our purposes today.
