Tom and Jerry was my childhood. I've watched it several times, each time it still brought me joy and relaxation. There is a certain level of violence but it usually adds fun. But this episode... Tom did nothing wrong to deserve the abuse. These street cats abused him physically and mentally for the whole episode, only because Tom looks funny. Tom is a house cat, too gentle and vulnerable against the other cats. It reminds me of my elementary school days being bullied by some classmates because I was quiet and timid. Tom was so helpless, even Jerry felt nothing and even helped those bullies. I was shocked. I thought Jerry and Tom are rivals and friends.

This episode is definitely not the best episode for me, but I still found moderate enjoyment here because the jokes gave me a few chuckles, and Jerry, who was the reason those cats tortured Tom, did not really win in the end as he had to deal with the bad liquid in which I do not remember its name. If it had not been for that little human girl in this episode, I probably would have enjoyed it a significant amount more, but all in all, I like this episode.

This is one of the few Tom and Jerry cartoons I would never watch again. You know, there are many times when I watch these entertaining Tom and Jerry cartoons I root for Tom, just out of compassion. Many times he gets brutalized by Jerry but usually there's a decent reason. Tom is usually chasing him. But in this cartoon, Tom gets literally tortured by other cats and takes a lot abuse physically and verbally for no reason, except incredible meanness.In the house he resides in, at least in this cartoon, some idiot little girl dresses him up as a baby complete with bonnet and diapers, puts him in a little crib, scolds him and then - thankfully - leaves. At Tom enjoys the bottle of milk she left him. In fact, he loves the milk so much he doesn't mind acting like a baby while he's enjoying the drink. Jerry is watching him go goo-goo over the milk and makes fun of him. In no time, the usual chase is on, but only until the brat comes back.Once again Tom has to endure this obnoxious girl. In all, it happens three times. Between the second and third, Jerry summons the neighborhood cats in to tease Tom about his outfit and baby acting. It becomes more than teasing and the cartoon becomes almost shocking in its sadismThere were some funny scenes but not enough to overcome the mean spirit in this animated short.

Even by Tom and Jerry's own violent standards, Baby Puss is disturbingly callous. It begins with an unusual premise - the usual 'owner', the plump black maid, is nowhere to be seen, and Tom appears to have been catnapped by an annoying little girl who wants to play mummy-and-baby with him. Tom puts up with this nonsense because he loves the bottled milk she feeds him, but this cosseted life comes to an end when Jerry invites Tom's alley cat friends to see how their leader is being humiliated. This leads to a lengthy slapstick sequence in which Tom is bullied relentlessly, and maybe it's because he's dressed as a toddler that I found this quite hard to take, especially the part where his head is blown up like a balloon and later stamped on repeatedly. I'm no wimp and I usually love violent cartoons, but this seemed too close to child abuse for comfort. Having said that, there are plenty of laughs and even - unusually for a 1940s cartoon - a couple of jokes about vomiting!
