reissue prior to 1956 and with the original credits cut. The others are Daffy Dilly, The Foghorn Leghorn, Kit for Cat, and You Were Never Duckier. Scaredy Cat is the latest-released cartoon to have its credits cut upon reissue. In 1998, for the "THIS VERSION" of the short, the original opening and credits were restored. This print was used on the Golden Collection, without the notice at the end. This is the first of three Jones cartoons which placed Porky Pig and Sylvester (in a rare non-speaking role as Porky's pet) in a spooky setting where only Sylvester was aware of the danger, the other two films being Claws for Alarm (1954) and Jumpin' Jupiter (1955). Parts of this cartoon were used in the 1977 Halloween TV special Bugs Bunny's Howl-oween Special. The high-pitched yelling from the fleeing mice was re-used in Kiss Me Cat (1953), when the mouse family runs away from the "magnified" kitten Pussyfoot. The same track is also used in Forward March Hare (1952), when his fellow soldiers run for cover as Bugs uses an ammunition shell to nail his calendar to a wall. Interestingly, the former cartoon also depicts the cats as the heroes and the mice as the villains rather than vice versa, much like this cartoon. Both WB shorts were also directed by Jones.
