Kitty Kornered is a 1946 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Robert Clampett.[1] The short was released on June 8, 1946, and stars Porky Pig and Sylvester.[2]
Porky and Sylvester would later be paired in a trio of shorts directed by Chuck Jones, Scaredy Cat, Claws for Alarm, and Jumpin' Jupiter where the explorer spooky settings, and also appeared with Daffy Duck (who also has a lisp like Sylvester) in The Scarlet Pumpernickel as villain roles to him.
Porky Pig kicks his four cats, including Sylvester, out of the house for the night. Outside, it's cold and snowy and the cats aren't having it, so they turn the tables on Porky and throw him out, instead. Porky, extremely angry, returns to the house and finds the cats smoking, drinking and eating chocolates. He frightens them away by making a shadow puppet of his dog "Lassie" with his fingers. When Sylvester discovers they've been duped, the cats plot revenge by dressing up as Martians and faking a War of the Worlds type radio broadcast, which Porky initially dismisses as silly; but after being kissed goodnight by three "Martians", Porky is frightened out of his wits and flees the bed in terror ("MEN FROM MARS!"). Porky breaks a glass case on the wall containing a blunderbuss ("USE ONLY IN CASE OF INVASION FROM MARS") and aims it at the "Martians", who are now advancing up the stairs with swords drawn, all dressed as Teddy Roosevelt ("Charge!!"). Porky retreats, jumps through a window, and the cats laugh at him. Shivering in the snow in his nightshirt, Porky asks the audience if they know of anyone with a house for rent.
