"Odor-Able Kitty" is a 1945 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. Notable for being the first appearance of Pepé Le Pew (who was called Henry in this cartoon, but will be referred to as Pepé for clarity's sake).The story follows a homeless cat who gets sick of being bullied by every human and dog that crosses his path, so he gets the idea of using paint to disguise himself as a skunk so everyone will leave him alone; and it works. The only problem is, his new appearance attracts the attention of a certain amorous French skunk who mistakes him for a female skunk and gets... frisky to say the least. His every attempt to escape his lovesick pursuer is foiled and in the end his only savior is the skunk's wife who appears with their kids and beats the tar out of her husband, allowing the cat to make his get-a-way. The cat washes off his disguise and continues to happily let himself get beaten by the humans and dog from earlier and comments, "Ah, this is the life". | |

Tempting Fate: It's only directly after the cat laments how there's nobody to bother him that Pepé make his appearance and very much bothers him. | |

Gone Horribly Right: The cat succeeds in fooling the world that he's actually a skunk, but unfortunately for him, it also fools a real skunk who becomes infatuated with him (thinking he's a she). | |

The Cameo | |
| Odor-Able Kitty / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Looks like Bugs Bunny makes a cameo, but it's just the cat in a flawless disguise that Pepé still manages to see through. A mouse resembling Hubie (from the Hubie and Bertie cartoons) can be seen fleeing from the butcher shop. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Odor-Able Kitty / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Probably the biggest example of Early-Installment Weirdness here is the twist ending where Pepé is revealed to be married with children and that his French accent isn't real (with his real voice being Mel Blanc's natural speaking voice of the time, no less!). However, there is a good reason behind this: Originally, this was going to be the only Pepé Le Pew cartoon (and he's not even named "Pepé" here; it's Henry). It became a series when Eddie Selzer told Chuck Jones not to make another one because he didn't think it was funny (despite audiences finding it funny). | |

| Odor-Able Kitty / int_566a7660 | comment |
Smells Sexy: The first thing that initially attracts Pepé to the cat was the cat's mock skunk odor, seemingly implying that (at least for this short), skunks find other skunks odor to be quite attractive. | |

| Odor-Able Kitty / int_5f6c6cc1 | comment |
Can't Get Away with Nuthin': The cat originally disguised himself as a skunk in order to get revenge on his tormentors and to get something to eat. Naturally, it quickly goes south when an actual skunk takes notice of him. | |

| Odor-Able Kitty / int_7593bcd5 | comment |
Full-Body Disguise: The cat's Bugs Bunny disguise definitely qualifies, as it's perfectly flawless and makes you think it's the real Bugs making a cameo... but Pepé immediately sees through it and yanks Bugs's Latex Perfection mask off to start wooing the cat again. | |

Smelly Skunk: Pepé, as would follow thorough all his future cartoons. The cat also achieves this for his skunk disguise with the use of items such as limburger cheese, garlic and onions; but this seems to be what initially attracts Pepé to him in the first place. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield? | |

The cartoon isn't set in France (or a French-speaking part of the world, like North Africa ["Little Beau Pepe" and "The Cats Bah"] or the Swiss Alps ["Two Scents Worth" and "A Scent of the Matterhorn"]). Rather, it's set in America. The second cartoon in the series ("Scent-imental Over You"), Arthur Davis' "Odor of the Day" (though the exact location is vague), and "Really Scent" are the only other Pepé cartoons to be American-based (though "Really Scent" splits the difference and sets it in a part of America with French culture: New Orleans, Louisiana). | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady: Downplayed. The disguised cat doesn't do anything to make himself appear female, yet Pepé is convinced otherwise. Given the thing that initially attracts him to the cat was the cat's mock skunk odor, one could make the case the cat somehow replicated a female skunks odor. | |

Master of Disguise: The Cat is shown to be surprisingly skilled at disguise; he does a really good job painting himself up like a skunk and giving himself the bad odor associated with skunks (so good it fools Pepé), and later on in an attempt to evade Pepé he flawlessly disguises himself in a Bugs Bunny suit and mask (but this does not fool Pepé). | |
