Storyline
A kitten is dropped in a sack out of a car and rolls down a hill, to arrive at the door of Clyde and Matilda Mouse. Matilda thinks the kitten is heaven-sent and wants to keep him, and Clyde reluctantly agrees. But the kitten doesn't eat cheese and needs human companionship, and within weeks of their adopting the kitten, Clyde convinces Matilda that the kitten belongs with people. They leave the kitten on a lady's doorstep. A year later, on their "son's" birthday, Clyde and Matilda decide to visit him at his new home, and though the fully-grown cat remembers his adoptive rodent parents, his mistress doesn't like the presence of two mice in her home.

This is a cute cartoon, not much else; it has much charm, and the story couldn't have taken writer Tedd Pierce much effort (McKimson was the most polite and by far the least demanding of the three Warner directors).
The middle-aged mice couple, Clyde and Matilda, are endearing, as is Junior, their (temporarily) adopted cat son. One thing bugs me, though: why did McKimson and voice artist Mel Blanc have to settle for such a hopelessly moronic voice for Junior? His first reunion with his folks is quite endearing, but the voice always knocks me for a loop—a rather clichéd "dumb" voice, coming as it does from Blanc. But the ensuing hijinks are serviceable enough, although they don't constitute enough of an excuse for Junior's owner to threaten him with homelessness.
