Synopsis
A goofy Sylvester and his orange feline pal are being chased by Wellington the bulldog. The pursuit is interrupted when the dog's mistress orders him to deliver a package to Uncle Louie, "and don't let go of it or else!," thus giving the cats an opportunity to torture him all along the way. They smash an egg in Wellington's face, clobber him with a garbage can, run him over with a train, throw him off a bridge into the river, and finally flatten him with a steamroller. At last, Wellington prevails and proudly delivers the package to Uncle Louie, only to discover that it contains dinner for the two cats.

Production notes
Sylvester is not yet named in this cartoon.
Sylvester gets the upper hand at the end of this cartoon. Some other ones are: "Catch as Cats Can," "Claws for Alarm,""Yankee Dood It," "Here Today, Gone Tamale," "Trip for Tat," "A Message To Gracias" and "Freudy Cat."
The first of only two Sylvester cartoons directed by Art Davis. The first of only two animated by Basil Davidovich, and the first animated by Emery Hawkins or Don Williams.
The only Sylvester cartoon for which Lloyd Turner was a writer.
Retitled "Dog Gone Cats" in Blue Ribbon re-release.
One of two appearances of Wellington. He re-appears in "Odor Of the Day."
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their Blue Ribbon program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
