Greedy Louie realises he’ll be a millionaire if he bumps off dopey cat Heathcliff in Dough Ray Me-ow, a 1948 cartoon by the Art Davis unit at Warners.
Here’s animator Don Williams at work with his multiple eyes and brushwork. Louie imagines the money, then imagines the money with him replacing Heathcliff.
Bill Melendez, Basil Davidovich and Emery Hawkins also animate scenes, with the story credited to Lloyd Turner.
My favorite bit is dopey Heathcliff with his own hand around his own neck, and Louie having to tell him, "Breathe, stupid, breathe!"
