Wild over You is a 1953 Looney Tunes short directed by Charles M. Jones.

Plot

A female wildcat escapes from the zoo and disguises herself as a skunk to ward off her captors. That doesn't go too well for her as she has attracted the attention of the love-struck Pepé Le Pew. However, unlike the other cats who simply squash and stretch their way out of Pepe's amorous grasp, the wildcat tears the masher skunk up, which does nothing to deter him, as he only enjoys the maulings.

Notes

• This is the first Pepé Le Pew cartoon to have Maurice Noble credited for layouts and the first to have both Abe Levitow and Richard Thompson credited for animation work.
• This is the second of only three cartoons where Pepé is not in love with Penelope, the other two being "Odor-able Kitty" and "Scent-imental over You". This is also the only post-"For Scent-imental Reasons" Pepe cartoon in which Penelope is absent (barring "Dog Pounded", a Tweety and Sylvester cartoon where Pepe makes a brief cameo at the end).
• A clip of the hot air balloon ending was featured in Bugs Bunny's Valentine.
• The far shot of the crowd fleeing the zoo in fear was later reused in "Ducking the Devil" when the Tasmanian Devil escapes.
• When the wildcat is first seen, she is hiding behind a sign stating "No Pate de Fois Grass", which is meant to be a warning to keep off the grass, but it is a play on the phrase "pate de fois gras", a French delicacy made of fattened goose or duck liver paste.
