[PAR] [TLE] Flippity and Flop [SEP] Flippity and Flop were a pair of short lived cartoon characters, an anthropomorphic cat and canary duo.  They appeared in theatrical shorts from 1945 to 1947 by for Columbia Pictures.  The antics of Flop, the cat and Flippity the canary, were similar to that of Tweety and Sylvester of Warner Bros. However unlike Tweety, Flippity had to rely on Sam the household Dog to protect him from Flop.  Flippity and Flop only appeared in four cartoons before Screen Gems was replaced by United Productions of America in 1947.  Their popularity never reached that of Columbia's biggest cartoon stars, The Fox and the Crow.  Flippity and Flop lived on only in comic books published by DC Comics until 1962. [PAR] [TLE] Sylvester the Cat [SEP] Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr., usually called Sylvester, is a fictional character, a three-time Academy Award-winning anthropomorphic, 40, 50, or 60-Inch tall Tuxedo cat in the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons.  Most of his appearances have him often chasing Tweety Bird, Speedy Gonzales, or Hippety Hopper.  The name "Sylvester" is a play on "Felis silvestris", the scientific name for the wild cat species (domestic cats like Sylvester, though, are actually "Felis catus").  The character debuted in Friz Freleng's "Life With Feathers" (1945), but Freleng's 1947 cartoon "Tweetie Pie" was the first pairing of Tweety with Sylvester, and the Bob Clampett-directed "Kitty Kornered" (1946) was Sylvester's first pairing with Porky Pig.  Sylvester was not named until Chuck Jones gave him the name Sylvester, which was first used in Scaredy Cat.  Sylvester appeared in 103 cartoons in the golden age, appearing in the fourth most films out of all the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies characters, only behind Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck respectively.  Three of his cartoons won Academy Awards, the most for any starring Looney Tunes character: they are "Tweetie Pie", "Speedy Gonzales", and "Birds Anonymous".
