Kitty gets a present. A puppy.
birthdaybeachboy5 February 2014
Kitty's person has rewarded his behavior with a new puppy, and instructions to become "very good friends." Puppy's cuteness wins Kitty over right away, but within seconds Kitty envisions Puppy grown up as a Dog and wreaking havoc in Kitty's life.

So Kitty has a decision to make. Should he accept the Puppy, soon to be a Dog, and allow the ensuing turmoil that is certain to come, or reject the little tyke and avoid it all?

This cartoon includes the traditional Dog vs Cat stereotypes, but is enjoyable in itself (and fine for kids) in its depiction of the ingenuity of the Dog. The end credits identify it as "A Color Rhapsody in Technicolor."

Remembrance Of Things Future

When the lady of the house brings home a puppy, she instructs the cat to make friends. The puppy is cute and friendly, but the cat imagines how it will treat him when he grows up, with the natural hatred of cartoon dogs to cartoon cats.

Sid Marcus is usually credited as the director, but Bob Clampett had a hand in this funny cartoon, his last theatrical release before he began to tell the tales of Beany and Cecil the Sea-Sick Sea Serpent. It shows his usual exaggerated handling of living things, even if the simplified character design doesn't show it to best advantage,
