Trivia
The only theatrical Warner Brothers cartoon that made a reference to Alfred Hitchcock.

Goofs
A newspaper headline, when shown in long shots, reads, "POLICE HUNT THE CAT", and the accompanying picture depicts a (human) suspect with dark hair and sideburns and wearing a dark shirt. However, when shown in closeup, the headline says, "POLICE HUNT 'THE CAT'" (with the suspect's nickname in quotation marks), and the accompanying picture shows the suspect with a mostly bald head and wearing a striped shirt.

Quotes
Hitchcock-type Narrator: Well, you got away from the law, didn't you?
[Sylvester nods]
Hitchcock-type Narrator: I bet you wish you could get away from your conscience that easily.
Sylvester: Ah, conscience, shmonshience! That bird doesn't even enter my mind.
[turns on the radio]
Radio Announcer: And now your local company will present gas chamber music for - I, I, I, I mean your local gas company will present chamber music for your enjoyment.
[Sylvester perks up and switches off the radio]

Crazy credits
After being hit in the head, by Sylvester, throwing something and hitting Hitchcock, his shadow leaves, but with a bump on his head.

Alternate versions
During The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show broadcast version of the short, the part where Sylvester rushes to the bathroom's medicine cabinet to consume and shower with numerous sleeping pills to help his guilt-induced insomnia was removed, instead cutting to him sobbing on the bathroom floor.
