Kitty Kornered is a 1946 Looney Tunes short, directed by Bob Clampett and starring Porky Pig with an early Sylvester the Cat featured as a bit player.The cartoon starts as the neighborhood's cat owners all (literally) throw their cats out for the night. Porky Pig attempts to do the same to his four cats, but they turn on him and throw him out into the snow. Porky bangs on the door, demanding to be let in, but the cats pop out of the door and proclaim in unison, "Milkman, keep those bottles quiet!", and then slam the door in his face which soon leads to a battle between Porky and his cats for the house for the rest of the cartoon.

Wild Take: The cats did wild takes when Porky surprises them. Porky also has this reaction when he realizes there are "martians" sleeping in bed next to him.

Bowdlerization: Versions shown on FOX's Merrie Melodies Show and The WB in America and the United Kingdom's BBC channel cut the scene where the cats smoke cigars, read comics, lounge, and drink wine before Porky bursts in on them.

You Don't Look Like You
 Kitty Kornered / int_a4e3759e
comment
You Don't Look Like You: Supposedly, the leader cat is Sylvester, given his tendency to lisp sloppily like him. However, he is shorter than Sylvester usually is portrayed and has a black nose, rather than a red one. Justified in that it's only Sylvester's 3rd short, and his design clearly wasn't finalized yet. Furthermore, this was the only time Sylvester was utilized by Bob Clampett.

Oh, Crap!: Porky freaks out when he catches on that aliens (the cats in disguise) are sharing his bed. Again, when the cats (dressed as the Rough Riders) charge at him. The Cats has they own moment when Porky call his dog (actually his hand shadow) to scared them away.

Shout-Out
 Kitty Kornered / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: There are several pop culture references in the cartoon: "Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet" was a World War II hit song by Ella Mae Morse, and was sung by Nancy Walker in the movie Broadway Rhythm. The wine that the grey drunken cat was drinking says "Arsenic and Old Grapes" as a parody to Arsenic and Old Lace. Porky calls for Lassie to scare off the cats. The "Men from Mars" scene is a reference to the Orson Welles' infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast. The cats charging at Porky assume the appearances of Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders cavalry, which is a reference to the then-popular film Arsenic and Old Lace. One of the cats is a parody of Spooky the Cat from Bil Holman's Smokey Stover comic strip.
