* DeathGlare: During the ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes moment, the eyes narrow, suggesting the panther is doing this in response to Spike bothering it.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Spike pulls on a tail and proclaims he's gotten the cat, a confused Sylvester pokes out from a garbage can in the background.
Added DiffLines:
* NothingIsScarier: For much of the short, the panther is never clearly seen, being either in shadow or showing just the tail. We finally get a good look at it when it slices Spike into pieces (as seen above), and it lives up the hype.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The version shown on ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show'' from 1994 to 2000 (prior to that, the short was uncut) was edited to remove two scenes of violence:
**Spike kicking the semi-conscious Sylvester to his feet.
**Chester slamming Sylvester into the ground twice and hurling him over the fence (this was edited by cutting to a shot of Spike peeking from behind the "Loans" building and having the audio play normally).

"Tree for Two" is a 1952 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short directed by Creator/FrizFreleng. Spike is a big tough bulldog, and Chester is his worshipful spaniel sidekick. One day the two dogs, looking for something to do, decide to beat up a cat. They encounter WesternAnimation/{{Sylvester|theCatAndTweetyBird}}, here without Tweety, who runs and hides in an old junkyard. Spike goes into the junkyard to beat up Sylvester, but what he doesn't know is that a black panther that recently escaped from a zoo is also hiding there. Spike keeps getting beaten up by the panther, to the consternation of Chester, who finds Sylvester instead and beats him up. At the end, Spike, convinced that Chester is tougher than he is, is now Chester's worshipful sidekick.
