Censorship[]

  • Versions of this cartoon that aired on ABC's The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show:[3][4]
    • Replaced the scene of Hector repeatedly punching Claude Cat in the face with a still shot of Pussyfoot the kitten sleeping, though the edit was clumsily done, as most of Hector punching Claude was left in and the part where Hector kicks Claude after punching him wasn't censored.
    • Shortened the part where Claude Cat makes Hector hit himself on the head with the I-beam he's clinging to from six hits to two.

Notes[]

  • This cartoon marks the final appearances of Pussyfoot.
  • This is the first appearance of Claude Cat since "No Barking", he would make one last appearance in 1962 (as Pierre) in the short "Louvre Come Back to Me!"
    • Claude is also heavily redesigned differently from his earlier appearances.
  • This short also marks the return of the musicians, who were absent from the previous 7 shorts due to a large Musician's Strike.
  • Hector in this cartoon is often mistaken for Marc Anthony, the bulldog who was paired with Pussyfoot in previous cartoons. However, Marc Anthony has brown fur, while Hector has gray fur.
  • The start of this cartoon is very similar to "Feed the Kitty".
  • This was the final cartoon released in 1958.
