Synopsis
Sylvester has gone neurotic after years of myopic fixation on the "little yellow bird." Tired of chasing the canary, he goes to a psychiatrist to get the whole story off his chest and rid himself of his Tweety Bird complex. His father, he tells the note-taking shrink, never taught him how to catch mice like all the other cats, so he "was forced to find sustenance by other means."

Production notes
An "economy" short made of Sylvester recalling previous episodes to his psychiatrist. Re-uses footage from 5 other episodes: "Too Hop To Handle," "Sandy Claws," "Tweety's Circus," "A Street Cat Named Sylvester" and "Gift Wrapped."
The last Tweety and Sylvester cartoon for which Warren Foster was a writer.
Even though there are no animators credited in this film, the normal three Freleng unit animators did the new footage: Art Davis did the opening linking sequence; Virgil Ross did the second; then, Gerry Chiniquy did the finale.
Robert McKimson remade this as "Freudy Cat" in 1964.

You can read between the lines on this one: writer Warren Foster had just left Warner's for Hanna-Barbera, and director Freleng was bummed out big-time over it.
