'''''Who's Kitten Who?''''' is the two-hundred and ninety-fifth ''[[Looney Tunes (theatrical shorts)|Looney Tunes]]'' theatrical short. It was released by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] and [[The Vitaphone Corporation]] on [[January 5]], [[1952]].  It was produced by [[Edward Selzer]], written by [[Tedd Pierce]], and directed by [[Robert McKimson]]. 

When Hippety Hopper hops away from being delivered to the zoo, he winds up at Sylvester's house, where the father cat tries to teach Sylvester Jr. on catching mice. While showing his son a sample of his skills, he mistakens Hippety for a giant mouse. 

==Detailed summary==
==Memorable quotes==
'''Delivery:''' 'Out to Lunch', eh? Well, I'll just leave it right here. (chuckles) Don't reckon it'll hop away.


'''Sylvester:''' Now people will point at me and sthay, "There goesth the cat whose only son was swallowed by a mousthe". Oh, the shame of it...

==Release==
Dates are in order of release:

* United States: January 5, 1952 in theatres

==Behind the scenes==
* The title is a pun on the phrase, "Who's kiddin' who?"
* This was the last Sylvester/Hippety cartoon to be animated by [[Emery Hawkins]].
* This is the final McKimson-directed Sylvester cartoon to use the "plump Sylvester" design, which Robert McKimson previously used since ''[[Crowing Pains]]''. 
* This is the first cartoon to have [[Sylvester Jr.]]'s higher voice pitch, which he uses up until ''[[Freudy Cat]]''.
** It is also the first cartoon which Sylvester Jr. would cover his face with a paper bag in shame when he witness his father's humiliating defeats in catching mice, birds or fish, which becomes a running gag in their cartoons, especially the ones co-starring Hippety.
* This is currently the only Hippety and Junior cartoon that does not survive with its original color rings; most of the other shorts that were reissued had their original color rings restored for the ''[[Looney Tunes Super Stars' Sylvester and Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem|Marsupial Mayhem]]'' DVD.

==Legacy==
* Beginning with ''[[Hoppy-Go-Lucky]]'' later that year, McKimson would redesign Sylvester to be slimmer and more streamlined to closely resemble how his creator [[Friz Freleng]] drew him. This would last until his final classic appearance in ''[[A Taste of Catnip]]''.
* A small clip of this cartoon, where Hippety hops away, would be used in the [[1964]] ''Looney Tunes'' short ''[[Freudy Cat]]''.

==Home availability==
* In the United States:
** ''[[Looney Tunes Super Stars' Sylvester and Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem]]''
