  Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Felix the Cat
Felix the Cat was animation's first superstar, far eclipsing Farmer Alfalfa, Bobby Bumps, Col.
Felix's success was a direct result of Messmer's great ability to create sight gags, and to express a character's personality through his own unique way of moving.
Meanwhile, Messmer's comics — first in the form of a newspaper strip distributed by King Features Syndicate and later, in 1943, as a regularly-published comic book — displayed his visual imagination and solid design sense to great effect, which is why the Messmer-drawn issues are highly prized by modern collectors.

  Felix the Cat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Felix the Cat is a cartoon character from the silent-film era.
Felix was the first character from animation to attain a level of popularity sufficient to draw movie audiences based solely on his star power.
Felix has been said to represent a child's sense of wonder, creating the fantastic when it is not there, and taking it in stride when it is. His famous pace—hands behind his back, head down, deep in thought—became a trademark that was analyzed and re-analyzed by critics around the world.

 Felix: The Twisted Tale of the World's Most Famous Cat
The other man we associate with Felix is Otto Messmer, the character's creator (though among the book's interesting tidbits is the fact that Bill Nolan was responsible for the Felix design we're most familiar with today).
After Felix's film career was derailed around 1930, Messmer occupied himself with other artistic projects, including writing and drawing the Felix newspaper strip and comic books.
Also touched on only lightly are the Joe Oriolo-produced Felix TV cartoons (which are well-remembered by Baby Boomers but artistically pretty vacant), and the Felix comic strips and books (which were of more interest, at least when written and drawn by Messmer).

 felixsalmon.com: The ethics of blogging
As for the press, no US newspaper has named her, as far as I know, but the Sun and the Telegraph, in England, have.
Newspapers, especially big ones, can work on the conceit that they have all the news that's fit to print, and that their readers don't necessarily get their news anywhere else.
Whenever a newspaper prints a story, the reader can assume that if an accusation is being made against someone, the paper made an attempt to contact that person and ask them for comment.
