Synopsis

A villainous cat has eaten all of the birds in the house, making all the deaths look like "accidents." A housewife discovers her canary bird missing from the cage. The cat hiccups feathers while innocently pretending that he doesn't know where the bird got to! The owner gets a replacement who's a lot smarter. A replacement canary bird is delivered, and this one proves to be a bigger match for the cat than the others. The cat's new foe is going to make him the dead one soon. A definite prototype for the Tweety and Sylvester series soon to come.

Along with Art Davis, Frank Tashlin is one of the most under-rated directors in animation history. Alot of his cartoons, like this one, has lots to offer any aspiring animation student.
