Terrier-Stricken is a 1952 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon short, written by Michael Maltese and directed by Chuck Jones.

[3] Frisky Puppy's barking at the worst possible moments get Claude Cat into a heap of troublesome situations.

He throws the ball up into the air and tries to catch it in his teeth as it falls back to the floor but he misses, and his empty jaws snap shut.

This scares Claude and again he is seen leaping upward out of the scene, and as he falls, he lands in the tub of hot water.

Mad at the dog for scaring him, Claude picks up a pail and fills it with the hot water, and runs through the house after Frisky.

He pauses for a moment when he cannot find the puppy, but Frisky sees him and barks loudly again, sending Claude and the hot water bucket hurtling toward the ceiling.

Frisky lets out a loud bark, sending Claude sailing through the air, and he lands in a watering can.

Back inside, Frisky is chewing on part of the carpet and Claude is seen with a bone attached to the line of a fishing rod.

As he holds on for dear life, he craftily avoids any furniture in the way and in a chain reaction, he gets shot out the front door and into a children's wagon at such speed, the wagon starts rolling and then hits a brick wall, sending him sailing through the neighbor's upstairs window, freaking out the lady of the house who lets out a blood-curdling scream.

This time Claude has nothing to hold on to, and he falls into the chimney on the way down, clumsily landing on some fire logs which roll across the room.

The string is everywhere - through the banister rails, in and out two mouse holes, through the handles of a vase, in and out of a kettle, through the hot and cold water taps, and into a tipped over trash can.

As he exits the house, he is hurtled into the air and lands on a swimming pool diving board in a neighboring yard.

Terrier Stricken is available as a bonus feature of the April in Paris DVD release, unedited but not digitally remastered.
