"George Is My Friend!"
These are highlights from "Cat-Tails for Two" (1953) and "Hoppy Go Lucky" (1952) that featured the fat, strong, incredibly sweet-natured and loyal if dopey and slow-witted cat named Benny who would present this trope in such a likable way towards his catty friend George and to Sylvester where he just wanted to help them to hug and pet the mice as well, and he refers to George or anyone not named George (e.g Sylvester) as his friends in such in a way that anyone would find humorous charm in him (while Benny is a very dim-witted feline as you can see).
