"Early to Bet" starts off somewhat lame - as a warning not to gamble - before they start showing the usual crazy stuff (the cat's increasingly nasty punishments) and have a pretty humorous ending. This is of course a product of the days when people considered gambling a sin and moral failure. They probably had no idea that gambling would one day be a major part of the economy.
So more than anything, this cartoon comes across as a period piece. Not as much as we usually expect from a Looney Tunes cartoon (maybe there would have been more with the presence of Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck or one of those guys).
