* OffWithHisHead: Herman decapitates [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] on three different occasions:
** In "Cat Tamale", when Herman, using [[BullSeeingRed bullfighter tactics]] on Katnip, tricks the latter into ramming head-first into a cabinet, releasing several kitchen utensils including a butcher knife, which appears to cut Katnip's head off. [[SubvertedTrope Fourtunetly, it turns out that Katnip's head was merely tucked between his shoulders.]]
** In one scene in "A Bicep Built for Two", Herman, using a winch, hoists up a heavy barbell just as Katnip was trying to lift it, and cuts the rope, causing the barbell to fall onto Katnip's neck and break through the floor (offscreen), seemingly leaving
Katnip with no head. [[SubvertedTrope Once again, Katnip simply pulls his head out from between his shoulders, as if nothing had happened.]]
** ​At one point in "Cat in the Act" Herman [[BlackComedy manages to trick Katnip into thinking that this had happened to him]] by sticking
a pair basket over the latter's head after he had been knocked toward a stage prop of scissors in "Herman The Cartoonist".a gullitone.

Herman and Katnip did diverge from Tom and Jerry in two respects. Most notably, the lead characters are verbose in almost every short: Katnip in a dopey, loosely Bert Lahr-esque SimpletonVoice (typically provided by [[WesternAnimation/BabyHuey Sid Raymond]] and Herman in a plucky, reassured Brooklyn twang (provided by Creator/ArnoldStang, the eventual voice of WesternAnimation/TopCat) reminiscent of Leo Gorcery's of the Bowery Boys. The standard setup was different, too: Herman's cousins Reuben, [[RhymesOnADime Dubin]], and Louie (and, in earlier shorts, other, unnamed mice) would be frolicking in a given location or enjoying a form of activity, Katnip would interrupt the scenario to persecute them; then Herman would arrive (often coming "from the city") to defend them.
