Cat Feud

Cat Feud is a 1958 Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones.
== Title ==
The title is a play on "cat food," and the feud or fight between the cat and dog.
== Plot ==
Marc Anthony is a bulldog working at a construction site. He finds a kitten named Pussyfoot, to whom he gives a wiener. Claude Cat sees Pussyfoot and attempts to take the wiener away from her.

== Censorship ==
* Versions of this cartoon that aired on ABC's The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show:https://web.archive.org/web/20240224055612/https://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-c.aspx
** Replaced the scene of Marc Anthony repeatedly punching Claude Cat in the face with a still shot of Pussyfoot the kitten sleeping, though the edit was clumsily done, as most of Marc Anthony punching Claude was left in and the part where Marc Anthony kicks Claude after punching him wasn't censored.
** Shortened the part where Claude Cat makes Marc Anthony hit himself on the head with the I-beam he's clinging to from six hits to two.
== Notes ==
* This cartoon marks the final appearances of Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot.
* This is the first appearance of Claude Cat since "No Barking", and he would make one last appearance in 1962 (as Pierre) in the short "Louvre Come Back to Me!"
** Claude is also heavily redesigned differently from his earlier appearances.
* This short also marks the return of the musicians, who were absent from the previous 7 shorts due to a large Musician's Strike.
* Unlike other cartoons, Marc Anthony has grey fur in this cartoon (much like Hector) instead of brown fur as in other appearances. 
**Because of this, some viewers often mistake Marc Anthony for Hector in this short, given that both bulldogs have similar appearances. This bulldog confusion is even acknowledged in an episode of Toon in with Me on MeTV as well.
*The start of this cartoon is very similar to "Feed the Kitty". Also, unlike previous cartoons such as "Kiss Me Cat" and "Feline Frame-Up", this cartoon presumes that Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot have never met before.
*This was the final cartoon released in 1958.
