The strangest of these entries was “NIT-WITTY KITTY” in which just a bump on the head turns the cat into a mouse and Jerry has to share his hole with an over-sized friend, marking some of the strangest animation on Tom I remember ever seeing, but one always remembers the creative ways that Lillian Randolph’s character twisted the language, perhaps even inspiring folks like Mel Blanc(?). I think her last appearance was in the cartoon, “PUSH BUTTON KITTY”, about the maid ordering a mechanical feline mouse-catcher to take the place of an increasingly lazy Tom…and this is perhaps another reason why some of us felt that Lillian Randolph’s character was indeed the owner of the house–she was making decisions here, no matter how small, on how the house is run, and the decision here was replacing the cat with this Mechano.
