The Mouse-Merized Cat is a 1946 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Robert McKimson.
[2] A 1942 cartoon, A Tale of Two Kitties, cast Abbott and Costello as cats and introduced Tweety Bird.
The camera pans the interior of the deli, finally coming to Catstello waiting patiently at the entrance of a mouse hole.
Like a ball in a tennis match, Catstello bounces back and forth several times between the hypnotic powers of Babbit and the cat.
They ride off together out of the deli, leaving Catstello happily eating cheese, reading the book Live Alone and Like It, and remarking "Oh — I'm a baaaaad boy!"
