The whole thing plays like a WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird scenario that got sent to the wrong studio.

!!Tropes:

* EfficientDisplacement: One gag has the canary, cat, and dog go through a screen door in that order, leaving three perfect silhouettes in the screen.
* EvilSlinks: The cat slithers like a snake when first approaching the bird cage.
* EyePop: The cat does this when it sees the canary in its cage.
* ImpossibleShadowPuppets: The cat makes an absurdly detailed shadow puppet of a rooster to distract the dog.
* SeeingStars: Happens to the dog when the cat leads it to wrap itself around the post by its leash, the dog finally crashing into the post.
* SilenceIsGolden: No dialogue in the short.
* TwoDimensionalThinking: The canary for some reason never thinks to fly '''up''' as it's being chased around by the cat.
* VisualPun: The canary opens the spigot on a garden hose. The cat, at the other end, gets blown up into a round shape like a balloon, and the sight of the cat in the air with the undulating hose is drawn to look like a cobra being tamed by a snake charmer.
