The Cat Concerto is a 1947 American one-reel animated cartoon and the 29th Tom and Jerry short, released to theatres on April 26, 1947.

Jerry manipulates the piano's keys from inside, irritating Tom, who hits him with a tuning tool.

Following its release, The Cat Concerto was met with critical acclaim, and is considered one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons.

"[5] In the same year that MGM produced The Cat Concerto, Warner Bros. released a similar Bugs Bunny cartoon titled Rhapsody Rabbit, directed by Friz Freleng, featuring Bugs Bunny facing off against an unnamed mouse.

Both cartoons shared nearly identical gags, featured the same piece by Franz Liszt, and had similar endings.

Technicolor was accused of sending a print of one cartoon to the competing studio, which allegedly plagiarized its rival's work.
