Production notes
The mailman in one scene is a caricature of Robert McKimson.
This Looney Tune short was reissued as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie cartoon.
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.

Ain't She Tweet
Here, Tweety used the aid of Granny and a front yard full of bull dogs in his conflict with Sylvester. But, that is certainly not the reason for this cartoons greatness. The reason is that here we see the full extent of Tweety's malicious and psychopathic attitude towards Sylvester and cats in general.
If you look closely at Tweety in all of his cartoons, you'll see that whenever a cat is being hurt or tortured either by his hand or someone elses there is no pangs of remorse in his eyes. There is no sense of "maybe I've gone too far this time" at all. No matter what happens to Sylvester, Tweety is either elated or apathetic. For example, in this cartoon when Tweety saws off the branch Sylvester is on which makes him plunge into the sea of dogs and get ripped apart, he makes the comment "Ha ha, the putty tat's got a pink skin under his fur coat." Obviously, no attack is too severe when it's against a cat according to Tweety. Even Jerry let up on Tom every once in a while as did the Roadrunner with Wile E. Coyote. But Tweety is all malice. The cries of a cat in pain is like music to him.
