Cat-Tails for Two is a 1953 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson and written by Tedd Pierce.[2] The short was released on August 29, 1953.[3] It was the first appearance of Speedy Gonzales, in a prototype form.[4] Because this cartoon's rendition of Speedy Gonzales looked rather coarse, they redesigned him for future cartoon releases.
The cartoon has been criticized for its stereotypical and insensitive depictions of Mexicans.[5]
