A black panther that escaped from the zoo also happens to be hiding there. Every time that Spike attempts to go into the junkyard the panther attacks him, which he mistakenly thinks is Sylvester.

Censorship

The version shown on ABC's The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show from 1994 to 2000 (prior to that, the short was uncut) was edited to remove two scenes of violence:

  • Spike kicking the semi-conscious Sylvester to his feet.
  • Chester slamming Sylvester into the ground twice and hurling him over the fence (this was edited by cutting to a shot of Spike peeking from behind the "Loans" building and having the audio play normally). [1]

Notes

  • This cartoon marks the debut of Spike and Chester, two dogs would chase Sylvester not once, but twice. Their second and last appearance would be in the 1954 short, "Dr. Jerkyl's Hide"
  • Parts of this cartoon would later be recycled in a cartoon from the DePatie Freleng Enterprises studio; "The Dogfather" (1974) from The Dogfather series.[2]
  • This cartoon was used in Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island.
