wow that cat is a paranoid health freak

@TheAzzkicker3000 I think the term you're looking for is "hypochondriac". ;P

[8x13Wolf]

@EdTheBadass They could also get incredibly sadistic. Like this one, and it's sticking to the psychological torture. That's pretty tame for Loony Tunes.

Not that I'm judging, mind. A cartoon can't be great unless it makes you go "JESUS!!" every once in a while; that's why kids are missing out today.

@poohebar83 Awesome!

I thank TVtropes for helping me remember this short. I remember seeing this short once or twice back when I was 8, so my memory was very hazy and I remembered it completely different (I remembered the cat actually dying, when really, the mice made the cat think he was dead). But still, this is the short I was looking for! Thank you, TVtropes!

No, no... sure, sure

[poohebar83]

This cartoon is the reason why we have a cat named Claude

[disjoinedchip2]

orrible little mice.

[disjoinedchip2]

[1010robbo]

This is great! Warners Brothers made the best cartoons!

[Lottech96]

so it was up to the censors that made it sadder. damn..

[MsSmileCentral]

Yeah yeah sure sure.

The ending of this short was re-done to what we see here. The original ending showed the mice shooting a rock at the cat using a slingshot, popping the balloon, and forcing Claude to plummet toward earth. Hubie & Bertie turned the "cat heaven" sign around which now read "cat hell" and pointed it downward. Claude crashed through the earth and landed in a brewing pot where Satan stabbed him repeatedly with a pitchford and tortured him for enternity. That ending was axed by the censors.
