Indeed, Claws is partly based on one of my cats, and when I came to design him, I was thinking what would a cat in the Sonic universe look like, at the time, the only cat in the series was Big, and I noticed some similarities between him a Tails, which is why his head is similar to Tails' He was also meant to be ginger, like my cat, but it made him too similar to Tails, so I made him black, like another one of my cats, though he has now passed away. His eyes are blue like mine. Though I will admit, some of my other characters aren't that original in appearance
