It's a Cuckoo
Tex Avery’s anonymous cat discovers the cuckoo he wants to kill is sitting atop his golf club in “The Cuckoo Clock” (released 1950). These are consecutive drawings; the first five are on single frames, the next two are on twos.

Tex actually seemed a little more interested in the first third of this cartoon than the final two-thirds -- still some good gags and animation, but overall a fairly routine two-character short. However, Avery would expand on the opening sequence here a year later, and take advantage of the situation to do some UPA experimentation for "Symphony In Slang".
