Catty Cornered

Here's the situation: Tweety has been kidnapped by Rocky and held for ransom. As demonstrated in the first scene, Rocky is one tough gangtser who shoots first and buries the bodies later. However, the only one who knows where Tweety is is Sylvester. When Sly hears Tweety chirp in the window, he starts drooling and runs up the fire escape to try and catch him. Thereby, Tweety's only means of escape is through Sylvester who is more willing to kill him than the gangsters. Another truly ingenious situation concocted by Friz Freleng. Plus, another thing to note is that the sympathy is mostly on Tweety for this entire cartoon. Friz really did put Tweety in mortal danger this time around. There's no Granny or bull dog to protect him here. The gangsters are the "rock", Sylvester is the "hard place", and Tweety's caught inbetween. Never before and never again would the sympathy for Tweety be so high. Not to worry though, Tweety does manage to survive thanks in part to the nosy press.
