History WesternAnimation / OdorableKitty

* FullBodyDisguise / LatexPerfection: The cat's WesternAnimation/BugsBunny disguise definitely qualifies, as it's perfectly flawless and makes you think it's the real Bugs [[TheCameo making a cameo]]... but Pepé immediately sees through it and yanks Bugs's mask off to start wooing the cat again.

* BigBallOfViolence: The dog gets into one with that cat who manages to escape with him fighting himself for a few seconds. The cartoon ends with him willingly getting into another one with the same dog.
* BigEater: The cat eats a pile of meat that's bigger then he is.

The story follows a homeless cat who gets sick of being bullied by every human and dog that crosses his path, so he gets the idea of using paint to disguise himself as a skunk so everyone will leave him alone; and it works. The only problem is, his new appearance attracts the attention of a certain amorous French skunk who mistakes him for a ''female'' skunk and gets... frisky to say the least. His every attempt to escape his lovesick pursuer is foiled and his only savior is the skunk's wife who appears with their kids and beats the tar out of her husband, allowing the cat to make his get-a-way. The cat washes off his disguise and continues to happily let himself get beaten by the humans and dog from earlier and comments, "Ah, this is the life".

* GrassIsGreener: The cat learns that while his life as a ChewToy was pretty bad, it definitly beats being pursued by lovesick male skunks.

** Probably the biggest example of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness here is the twist ending where Pepé is revealed to be married with children and that his French accent isn't real. However, [[JustifiedTrope there is a good reason behind this]]: Originally, this was going to be the only Pepé Le Pew cartoon (and he's not even named "Pepé" here; it's Henry). It became a series when Eddie Selzer told Chuck Jones not to make another one because he didn't think it was funny (despite audiences finding it funny).

* {{Leitmotif}}: When "Bugs" appears, the Merrie Melodies theme plays.

* YourCheatingHeart: The ending reveals that Pepé was actually married and his wife was ''very'' crossed with him.

Odor-albe Kitty is a 1945 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon directed by Creator/ChuckJones. Notable for being the first appearance of WesternAnimation/PepeLePew (who was called Henry in this cartoon, but will be referred to as Pepé for clarity's sake).

!!Tropes:

** The cat in this short purposely makes himself a skunk so he can get back at the people who abuse him. Usually, in a Pepe Le Pew cartoon, the female cat gets painted accidentally (usually sliding under something that was freshly painted white[[note]]though the next cartoon after this ["Scent-imental Over You"] had a female chihuahua glue skunk fur on her and 1949's "For Scent-imental Reasons" had the female cat get white hair dye poured down her back after the perfume shop owner throws her inside to get Pepe out[[/note]]) or a human character paints her for some reason ("Past Perfumance" had a director paint the female cat for a role in a movie and "Two Scents Worth" had a French thief paint a female cat up like a skunk so he can rob a bank).[[note]]However, there are exceptions: "Scent-imental Romeo" from 1951 would have something similar to "Odor-Able Kitty" where the cat paints a white stripe down her back after the zookeeper denies her food and shoos her away, as would "Wild Over You" from 1953, where the escaped wildcat painting herself like a skunk to escape being captured by the zookeepers, the Sylvester and Tweety cartoon "Dog Pounded" from 1954 had Sylvester paints a white stripe down his back so he can scare off the dogs guarding Tweety, and "Heaven Scent" from 1956 had the female stray cat intentionally sliding across a flagpole that was freshly painted white and making herself look like a skunk to scare away the dogs chasing her and the fishmonger who wouldn't feed her. And then there's "Really Scent" from 1959, where the cat was shown born with a white stripe down her back and only able to get Pepe because the male cats are too scared to be with a cat who looks like a skunk[[/note]].

** Unlike most Pepe Le Pew cartoons (barring "Odor of the Day", "Dog Pounded", "Two Scents Worth", "A Scent of the Matterhorn" and "Louvre Come Back to Me"), this was written by Tedd Pierce rather than Michael Maltese (though the next cartoon, "Scent-imental Over You" had Pierce and Maltese as writers).

** The cartoon isn't set in France (or a French-speaking part of the world, like North Africa ["Little Beau Pepe" and "The Cats Bah"] or the Swiss Alps ["Two Scents Worth" and "A Scent of the Matterhorn"]). Rather, it's set in America. The second cartoon in the series ("Scent-imental Over You"), Arthur Davis' "Odor of the Day" ([[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield though the exact location is vague]]), and "Really Scent" are the only other Pepé cartoons to be American-based (thought "Really Scent" splits the difference and sets it in a part of America with French culture: New Orleans, Louisiana).
