A landmark 1947 Creator/TexAvery cartoon made during his MGM tenure during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, said to have been one of his personal favorites of his own. This oneshot short revolves around a hungry cat who, in an attempt to get more meat out of a pea size canary snack ("Well... I'm sick."), pours a bottle of Jumbo Gro Plant Growth formula on him - only to make him grow to gargantuan proportions. The tables keep turning and turning as one of the other keeps drinking more of the formula as their battle continues. Obviously, HilarityEnsues.
