Trivia
The mouse who says "Pussycats is da cwaziest peoples" is spoofing radio comedian Lew Lehr, whose catchphrase was "Monkeys is da cwaziest peoples."

Goofs
When Porky climbs up the stairs to bed, Sylvester is clinging to Porky's back in fright. In the bedroom Porky has removed his clothes but with Sylvester still clinging to his back. How did Porky remove his clothes with Sylvester clinging to him? A: I was on a train once, Bugs and Daffy chasing each other round and round on the windows, defying gravity; suddenly, Daffy stopped and said "y'know, when you're a cartoon, you can do anything." And went back to the chase. It's a cartoon, fella, get it? Not real life. Geez, what a maroon.

The first in a series of Sylvester/Porky cartoons

Scaredy Cat is the first in a series of Porky/Sylvester teamings directed by Chuck Jones, and the series certainly started with a bang. Sylvester and his master Porky move into the last house the real estate agent had, for reasons only Sylvester understands. The house is inhabited by homicidal mice, who will stop at nothing to kill the intruders most painfully. Sylvester is the only one who knows what's going on, and the oblivious Porky mistakes Sylvester's attempts to save him as murderous. The animation of Porky is good, but Sylvester doesn't really look like himself. We must take into consideration that Sylvester was quite a new face in '48, and besides Jones never really drew him like Freleng did. The best horror scenes are those in which the mice's plans don't come off, like Sylvester's empty basket descending. The audience never knows what happened to the basket, nor what happened to Sylvester when he goes all white. This is a brilliantly funny cartoon, essential for all Looney Tunes fans, and as all Looney Tunes fans will have the Golden Collection DVD, all fans will see it!
