Dog Pounded is a 1954 Looney Tunes short directed by Friz Freleng.

Plot

Hungry cat Sylvester sees Tweety is in his nest, which sits on a tree in a dog pound, which is home to numerous bulldogs. Sylvester tries different methods of getting up the tree, including disguising himself as a dog, but none of them work. Eventually, he disguises himself as a skunk, which almost works until Pepé mistakes him for a female skunk and starts flirting with him.

Notes

This is the only appearance of Pepé Le Pew (a Chuck Jones character) in a Friz Freleng cartoon. Later the same year, Tweety would appear for the only time in a Chuck Jones cartoon, "No Barking".
Pepé Le Pew would romantically pursue Sylvester by mistake again in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Is Paris Stinking?" and the 2000 direct-to-video feature film Tweety's High-Flying Adventure. Interestingly in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Platinum Wheel of Fortune", Sylvester gets romantically pursued by a lovesick skunk by mistake, though it is not Pepe Le Pew, it's Pepe's equally-lovesick cousin Pitu Le Pew.
Similar in concept to "Ain't She Tweet", this cartoon also centers around Sylvester trying to catch Tweety who is surrounded by bulldogs, except that here Granny doesn't appear and Tweety is not a pet.
