The Anonymous Bird Eaters (Original title: Birds Anonymous ) is an American animated short film by Friz Freleng from 1957.
action
The cat Sylvester is busy preparing to catch the bird Tweety. He darkens the entire room in which Tweety's bird cage is and grabs the bird - the blinds of a window open and a red cat appears, who frees Tweety and gives Sylvester a business card from her self-help group Birds Anonymous .
The next day, Sylvester goes to the group's meeting, in which numerous cats talk about their previous bird-hunting passion, which they were able to successfully combat through Birds Anonymous . Sylvester, too, now forgets his hunting instinct, pats Tweety when he comes home, and sits down in front of the television. Chicken is being cooked here, songs about birds are on the radio and New Year's resolutions are forgotten. He catches Tweety and is about to eat the bird when the red cat appears and Sylvester shuts its mouth with a plunger . There follows a sleepless night and the subsequent delusional attempt to eat Tweety. However, the red cat pours alum into Sylvester's mouth and the attempt to eat fails. New Year's Eve gets tearful, throws himself on the ground and rages and the red cat appears and scornfully rebukes him for his pathetic behavior, because friendship with birds is so easy. The red cat kisses Tweety and immediately falls into old hunting habits. Now it is New Year's Eve who tries to keep the red cat from eating Tweety. The bird, in turn, states: once angry cat, always angry cat.
