First appearance of Sylvester Pussycat. It's also the only time he is seen eating cat food.
Carefully rendered background details are shown, as was the norm for cartoons of this era. Lace doilies, wallpaper, baseboards, a radio, even the cookbook, are all drawn as these objects appeared at the time. Of course, these shorts were part of a cinema showing and were aimed at an adult audience, who would appreciate such things.
The title is a spoof of the popular book, "Life with Father." The film version would premiere in 1947.
Sylvester tells the bird to get back to Capistrano, a reference to the return of the swallows to Mission San Juan Capistrano in California and the 1940 Ink Spots song celebrating the event.
Both Sylvester and the love bird (later Tweety) break the fourth wall, something that would become a signature move for both.
