Behind the scenes

• The title is in reference to the Puss in Boots fairytale. (No, not the Shrek one.)
• In this episode, as well as a couple of other earlier produced episodes, Blabber was voiced by Elliot Field instead of Daws Butler (who voiced him in most later appearances).
• Snooper saying, "One for the money, two for the show, three to get it," is a reference to the English nursery rhyme "One for the Money," and is notable for being alluded to in the rock and roll song Blue Suede Shoes, which was popularized by Elvis Prisley in his 1956 debut album.
