'''Cats and Bruises''' was a WesternAnimation/MerrieMelodies cartoon directed by Creator/FrizFreleng.

The Cinco de Mayo festival is in full swing in one of the town squares. Among the dancing and partying mice is, of course, WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales. Sylvester the cat decides to crash the party by donning some mouse ears (making him appear to be a giant mouse), but the fun is short-lived as Speedy figures him out almost immediately.

* PunBasedTitle: A play on "cuts and bruises." It's ''not'' far off the mark, especially given Sylvester's wheelchair and bandages in the final scene.
* RecycledAnimation: "Canary Row," "WesternAnimation/DogPounded," "WesternAnimation/APizzaTweetyPie," "Here Today, Gone Tamale," and "WesternAnimation/ThePiedPiperOfGuadalupe" all get some action here.

While he would appear in two more cartoons, it is notable for being the final classic-era cartoon in which Sylvester has a speaking part.
