Scaredy Cat Description: Scaredy Cat is a 1948 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones and produced and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was the first of three Jones cartoons which placed Porky Pig and Sylvester the cat (in a rare non-speaking role as Porky's pet) in a spooky setting where only Sylvester was aware of the danger the pair were in (the other two films in the series are Claws for Alarm (1954) and Jumpin' Jupiter (1955). This is also the only time that Porky finds out what was going on.) It is also the first film in which Sylvester received his now-official name.
