Notes To You

While a musically-inclined alley cat sets up a sheet music stand on the backyard fence, Porky goes to sleep. Starting with "Figaro," the cat keeps Porky awake all night outside his bedroom window with a concert performance. Porky gets his gun and goes out with a milk dish as bait. The pig falls asleep while waiting, and the cat drinks the milk, leaving an empty bottle with a note: "Please leave two quarts tomorrow!" Porky chases the cat around a fence, and, as he corners the feline, the cat serenades the pig to sleep with a soft rendition of "Rock-A-Bye Baby." The cat places Porky back in his bed, then abruptly wakes him up by turning on the radio. Porky locks out the cat, who goes back on the fence to sing a medley of "Umbrella Man," "Jeepers Creepers" and "Make Love with a Guitar." Porky shoots the cat, who dies singing "Aloha Oe/Farewell to Thee." Porky is sorry to have killed him, but that's not all, folks! The pig is comforted by a ghostly chorus of the cat's nine lives singing Donizetti's Sextet from "Lucia."
