Synopsis
Tweety moves into a city brownstone with Granny. A stray Sylvester watches them move in and delights on seeing Tweety. Another of Granny's pets is a bulldog who, as usual, complicates Sylvester's plan to sneak up close enough to make a grab for Tweety. Sylvester tries all sorts of disguises, including a moving man, a lamp, a bearskin and a female dog.

Production notes
The title is a play on the Hebrew/Yiddish phrase "Mazel tov," meaning "congratulations" or "good luck."
When Hector notices Sylvester outside his doghouse, he says Tweety's "I taw I taw a puddy tat" signature line.
The only episode which Tweety does not win at the end.

For years, CBS' "Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show" ran a clip of Sylvester's opening gag as filler between the "main" cartoons. It's a beaut, perfectly timed and accompanied by Carl Stalling's great music. The rest of the cartoon isn't quite as funny, but it's worth watching just for that opening gag. And how many tots who saw this cartoon knew that the title was a play on the Jewish "Mazel Tov"??
