Purely Joyful Movie!

Overrated and overhyped

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"Kiss Me Cat" is a very good Warner Bros. cartoon starring two best friends: Pussyfoot the kitten and Marc Anthony the bulldog. The man of the house threatens to do away with Pussyfoot unless he catches mice. Marc Anthony runs interference for Pussyfoot so that the adorable little kitten may keep his happy home.My favorite scenes: I love Marc Anthony's reactions to Pussyfoot sharpening his claws on the dog's back (aided by Carl Stalling's music score). Marc Anthony shoves bits of cheese in the mouse hole and then literally gets his ass swatted! I also love Marc Anthony's hilarious ballet dance with a lamp shade as a skirt.In addition to what I've listed above, "Kiss Me Cat" also greatly benefits from a gallery of facial expressions from Marc Anthony, characteristic of director Chuck Jones.

In this sequel of sorts to "Feed the Kitty", Marc Anthony has to train Pussyfoot how to catch mice, lest the owners throw them both out. Is that kitten so naive as to not even know to chase animals?! I liked the original better, as it seems like "Kiss Me Cat" sort of repeats everything. The surprise in the original was that a cute kitten melted the heart of a big, mean bulldog. The main addition here is that the mistress from the previous one now has a husband named Tom; as with the mistress, the audience never sees the guy's face.So, Chuck Jones turns Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot into recurring characters. This one isn't bad, just a little bit of a rehash.

This one stars Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot, the bulldog and kitten, respectively, and unlike most Looney Tunes these two are best of buddies, not enemies. Big "Marc" really loves the little cat and is concerned when he hears his masters say that if that feline doesn't start catching mice in the house they will have to go out and get another cat. Yikes! He doesn't want to lose his little friend, so he tries to teach his little buddy how to be a "mouser." (This has to be the only cat in the world who instinctively has no clue.)The results are funny, right off the bat as the opposite occurs: the mouse quickly trains the cat to help him get the food! Marc Anthony then does his football commentator John Madden impression, going to a chalkboard and diagramming what a cat is supposed to do.The big dogs tries everything, and things turn worse. The mouse turns "kit-napper!"Overall this is one of those cartoons that starts slowly, builds and gets really good the last few minutes.

This short stars the duo of Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot, an unlikely pairing of a bulldog and a kitten. Because I want to talk about some of the gags, this will be a spoiler warning: The people who give Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot a home are having a disagreement over whether or not Pussyfoot is carrying his own weight around the house, with the husband feeling that he should be ridding the house of mice. Marc Anthony, worried that his friend might lose his home, tries to make Pussyfoot a fierce and effective mouse-catcher. Unfortunately, what happens is that the mouse turns him into a draft animal, in harness and pulling a cart full of food back from the refrigerator.Other attempts to make Pussyfoot look good backfire as well and there are some hilarious sight gags in the middle portion of the short, including the sight of Marc Anthony as a ballerina! After the mouse sends a ransom note as a "katnapper" and Marc Anthony gets walloped for shoving a wheel of cheese, piece by piece, into the mouse-hole, a solution comes to our hero. He gets a powerful magnifier, places it in front of the hole, sits Pussyfoot down in front of it and shapes his face into a ferocious expression. This sends the mice scurrying from the house and the day is saved. The final scene is priceless.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 and is well worth seeing. Recommended.
