Robert McKimson's Rabbit's Kin is not a great Bugs Bunny cartoon but it does have a great voice for Bugs' adversary here, Pete Puma, that of Stan Freberg's with that screeching laugh (or maybe it's just some kind of disgust reaction). A little rabbit with a highly-speeded up voice is afraid of this puma and goes to Bugs for help. The rabbit manages to trick Puma to accept various number of lumps hit on his head whenever he asks him, "How much would you like?" when referring to coffee or tea. Those scenes and that aforementioned screeching laugh were the most memorable parts of this short. The little rabbit himself named Shorty is pretty irritating. Glad he was a one-shot. Pete Puma would subsequently appear in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon made in the '90s. Would like to see that one. Anyway, this is on Volume one of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.

This short is both cute and funny. I love the little bitty bunny, he's so cute! I also love the scene in Pete Puma's cave, where Bugs disguise himself as Pete's "second cousin Paul Puma;" the voice he used for the disguise was hilarious. Yes, there is no doubt this is one of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons directed by Bob McKimson, along with "Hillbilly Hare," "Acrobatty Bunny," "Wet Hare" and 8 other shorts too. I am quite terribly particular about that, a favorite short directed by who's who.I love Pete's "I got a little rabbit in this hole..." Yes, as I said before Mel Blanc and Stan Freberg had never sound so good together. And anything else I could say about this cartoon is that I love it.

Another merely so-so Robert McKimson short that can't hold it's own when held against other Looney Tunes shorts. This time Bugs Bunny foils Pete Puma after he tries to catch Bug's nephew, Shorty. I don't care for Pete Puma and I don't like whenever one of Bug's nephews show up. Really only one somewhat funny joke stretched out for too long. This cartoon is uncut on Disk 1 of the 'Loony Tunes Golden Collection' and also has a commentary track (with the voice of Pete Puma) as well as a music-only track. On a side note, Pete Puma in drag is more then a little bit disturbing to see. Also Pete Puma showed up again in that dreadful "Tiny Toons" show.My Grade: c

Priceless dialog: Bugs: "How many lumps you want?" Pete Puma: "Oh, better give me a lotta lumps. A *WHOLE* lotta lumps... (After realizing his mistake) No thanks, I'll do it myself."Did you know that the character and voice of "Pete Puma" in the Warner Brothers cartoon "Rabbit's Kin" was based on Frank Fontaine's character of "Crazy Guggenheim." Pete's voice was provided by Stan Freberg. Freberg reprised this voice in another Warners cartoon (as Pete!) and in 1990 as Pete on "Tiny Toon Adventures."
