Baby Puss

"Baby Puss" (1943) — watch online this Tom and Jerry short on iFILM, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for MGM. The little girl of the house has decided Tom is her baby: bonnet, diaper, spoon-fed and coddled. Tom endures it in silence.

Then Jerry spots the situation and calls in the alley cats. A whole crowd of street cats shows up to heckle the "baby," and Tom cannot do a thing about it without getting into trouble. When the girl comes back, everyone else has disappeared and Tom takes the blame. The closing beat — one drop of castor oil landing in Jerry's open mouth — is a small, precise piece of payback.
