In this episode, we review the 1947 Looney Tunes short 'Catch As Cats Can,' the 509th in the series, directed by Art Davis. The review covers the plot involving two birds, reminiscent of Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, and their shenanigans with Sylvester. Featuring trivia, animation analysis, and discussion on its unique and odd elements compared to other Warner Bros. cartoons of the 1940s, the video provides insight into this peculiar yet entertaining short. Join us as we delve deeper with guest Austin Kelly and explore Sylvester's evolving characterisation and the playful yet surreal gags

Directed by Bob McKimson, it features Anthony Flea and a horsefly exploring a dog in a Wild West scenario.
