Trivia:
The pink bird in this short is an early form of the character "Tweety Bird". Early model sheets indicated Tweety Bird's original name was "Orson", which is the bird's name in this short. Later, after censors complained that the pink bird looked naked because he had no feathers, Tweety Bird's color was changed to yellow. more

The First Time For "I Tawt I Taw A Puddie Tat"???, 12 September 2000
Author: donzilla from Springville, UT

As the two cats struggle to retrieve Tweety from the nest high in a tree, each ploy is designed by Babbit and carried out by his dupe, Catstello. At one point Tweety says his characteristic "I tawt I taw a puddie tat!" This is possibly the first time he used the legendary line. But in this episode it is not joined by the response, "I did! I taw a puddie tat!"
