Synopsis

The cartoon opens with adorable Pussyfoot making herself a cozy little bed on a pillow, when her nap is quickly interrupted by a swift kick from Claude's foot. Marc Anthony jumps in the scene and attacks Claude, to protect Pussyfoot, then makes him return the kitten to his bed. After this, the conniving Claude convinces the animals' stodgy master named Filbert that Marc Anthony is trying to eat Pussyfoot, eventually leading to the dog being tossed outside. As Claude enjoys his new dog-free life, while harassing Pussyfoot, Marc Anthony makes various attempts to harass Claude from outside the house. After several successful attempts to beat up Claude, he eventually forces the cat to surrender and sign a confession admitting to his crimes, and in the end, it is Claude who is tossed outside the house, where he is promptly run over by a trolley! Claude then groans, "Just one of those days, I guess!" and then he falls down.
