Bad Ol' Putty Tat is a 1949 Merrie Melodies short directed by I. Freleng.
Title[]
The title is written the way Tweety would pronounce it. Ergo, "Bad Ol' Pussy Cat" becomes "Bad Ol' Putty Tat."
Plot[]
By Tweety's house, at the top of a tall wooden pole, is a sign reading "DO NOT DISTURB." There is barbed wire on the pole and a damaged Sylvester.
Sylvester uses a trampoline to try to get to Tweety's birdhouse; Tweety fights back with knocks to the head and a dynamite stick. Sylvester tries to get Tweety to slide down a clothespin and into his mouth; he almost gets a rocket ride for his trouble.
Sylvester then paints his finger into a female Tweety which works at first, but then he switches hats with "her". Sylvester then tries to bite Tweety, resulting in Sylvester biting his own finger.
Tweety accidentally becomes the badminton birdy in a makeshift game. Again, Sylvester springs and gets another stick of dynamite. The cat then builds an entirely new birdhouse, fooling Tweety into walking right in. Instead of being digested, Tweety takes manual control of Sylvester, turning him into a train which crashes into a brick wall.

Notes[]
- The two badminton players in this cartoon are caricatures of screenwriters Michael Maltese (the short, fat one) and Tedd Pierce (the tall, thin one).
- Sylvester does not speak in this short; the other Tweety shorts where Sylvester is mute are "Tweetie Pie", "Putty Tat Trouble", and "Tree Cornered Tweety".
- The European version of the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Tweety & Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy uses the 1998 dubbed version print (albeit without the Dubbed notice on the original ending card). However, the American version of the DVD set uses the Japanese DVD/Golden Collection DVD print, but it's in low pitch.[2]
- This cartoon is included in Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports
- The gag where Tweety attacks Sylvester whom is jumping on the trampoline to grab him from his birdhouse is similar to a gag from A Tale of Two Kitties where Tweety attacks Catstello whom is jumping with springs to grab him from his nest, albeit less violent and sadistic. In addition, the gag where Sylvester quenches the dynamite fuse (which Tweety threw in into his mouth) with a water cooler, only for the cracker goes off, blasting the cat into the cooler's tank, would later be repeated in Ant Pasted with Elmer Fudd.
- A box with "Friz" on it is shown. This is one of many references to Friz Freleng in his own cartoons.
- Vitaphone release number: 1761[3]
