Of Interest:

There is a immense similarity between this short and that of Rhapsody Rabbit, both where released in the same year and have the exact base setup, a pianist plays Franz Liszt’s 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody and get increasingly annoyed at the antics of a mouse. Neither MGM or Warner Bros. has ever admitted to any wrong doing or copyright infringement.

The Cat Concerto won the 1946 Academy Award for best short Subject/Cartoon.
