Sylvester attempts to catch and eat Tweety and very nearly succeeds, only to be stopped by an erudite, mild-mannered cat (retroactively named Clarence in 1981's The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie and modern Looney Tunes comics), who explains that Sylvester's constant cravings for birds can only lead to self-destruction, and invites Sylvester to a meeting of "Birds Anonymous" ("B.A."), a ...
