Behind the scenes

• The kitten replaces what could've been the ironically named fully grown sabertooth cat Baby Puss, who frequently needed to be taken out of the house in the second closing credits to The Flintstones.
• The cat loosely resembles Wilma's pet saber tooth kitten Fangs in the prequel TV series The Flintstone Kids.
• The cat hums "(Meet) The Flintstones" while in the shower.
• Jean Vander Pyl voiced Wilma in this short, as she did in the original series, while Fred is voiced by his second original actor, Henry Corden, who took over the role after Alan Reed's passing.
