 This was the first of two Looney Tunes shorts to feature the Acme  Wildcat. (The second was _Mutt in a Rut, A (1959)_ (qv).) In both,  the perpetrator places the box containing the cat near intended  target, then throws a long rope over a tree limb, and walks far away  before pulling the rope, which opens the box, thus freeing the cat,  who, almost immediately upon realization of its freedom, is whipped  into a foreseen savage frenzy, then goes off and attacks the wrong  person.
