| Poor Elmer |
Sylvester wasn’t always chasing Tweetie Bird. In one cartoon, he did something alley cats are famous for: creating a racket at night and keeping people awake.
In the 1948 cartoon Back Alley Oproar, the obnoxious cat not only meows but sings opera, plays musical instruments and does everything else possible to keep poor Elmer Fudd from falling to sleep.
At the end of the cartoon, Elmer succeeds in killing the cat—only to realize that all nine of Sylvester’s lives are still around to harass him with their caterwauling.
