About Betty Boop: Not Now (1936)
Not Now (originally titled as Pudgy in "Not Now") is a 1936 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop and Pudgy the Pup. It is now in public domain.
A noisy, caterwauling cat is preventing Betty Boop from getting any sleep at night. When Betty asks the cat to stop, it replies "not ne-ow". Pudgy tries to chase the cat away, and after much trouble, he seemingly succeeds. That is, until all the cats in the neighborhood appear outside Betty's window.
