Cat-Choo is a 1951 Noveltoons cartoon.
Summary[]
Buzzy the Crow tries to cure Katnip's bad head cold. In a book, under "Hot Tips for Colds," Katnip reads: "Starve a fever and feed a cold is a remedy for cats like you. It's best to eat some fresh crow meat cooked in a deep dish stew." Buzzy has picked a bad time to go ice skating right outside Katnip's window... Very funny cartoon with lots of puns!
Plot[]
Katnip has a cold and reads that eating a fresh crow is a sure cure. Crows didn't come any fresher than Buzzy, and when Katnip spies him ice-skating, he decides to eat him. But Buzzy has no intentions of becoming cat food and he tells the cat he has an ever better cure for colds. Buzzy brews up a concoction of pepper, Tabasco sauce and mustard, which turn the cat into a fireworks display, and a blazing sun-lamp sets him on fire. The burning cat rushes out into the snow, which melts...and then freezes over him. Buzzy resumes his ice skating.

Trivia[]
- This marks the first Noveltoon to use the new version of the theme composed by Winston Sharples, however Sammy Timberg's version of the theme can still be heard at the last part during the "featuring" notice. This version of the theme would continue to be used until 1955.
