Tree for Two is a 1952 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng. It features Sylvester and also features the first of two appearances by Spike and Chester. The short was released on disc for the first time on the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3.
Chester tells his idol Spike that he knows of a cat that they can beat up. The cat is Freleng's own Sylvester, but every time Spike thinks he has the cat cornered, a runaway black panther appears in Sylvester's place, thrashing the dog instead. When Chester decides to have a go of it, however, Sylvester finds himself at the little dog's mercy. By the cartoon's end, Spike and Chester have switched roles; Spike is the fawning sycophant, and Chester the smug prizefighter.
