Cat on a Hot Steel Beam

Cat on a Hot Steel Beam is a segment of Animaniacs.
== Plot ==
Mindy follows Pussyfoot onto a construction site, while Buttons attempts to keep her out of danger.
== Notes ==
* The title is a parody of the Tennessee Williams play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
* The cat that Mindy chases is Pussyfoot, who is best known for appearing in Looney Tunes cartoons with Marc Anthony the bulldog.
* Parodies of the characters of Popeye and Swee' Pea (here named "Green Bean") and Tom & Jerry appear at the construction site.
* The Warners also appear at the site; Wakko runs back to kiss Buttons.
* When Buttons protects Mindy by extending a plank‚ he ends up on the moon and sees Marvin the Martian.
* Part of Mindy's Mom's head, specifically her chin, appears when she is trying to work the toaster.
* Mary Melody from Tiny Toon Adventures makes a cameo jumping rope when Buttons runs after Mindy.
* Amanda Duff from the Elmyra's Family episodes of Tiny Toons appears in the crowd at the end.
* This is the first time that Mindy has a conversation with an adult and repeatedly asks, "Why?"
== Goofs ==
* Buttons follows Mindy and Pussyfoot as they are walking to the end of an I-beam. Buttons nails a board to the bottom of the I-beam with a nail gun. In the next scene, the board is on top of the beam. When Buttons comes back with more wood the board is on the bottom again.
