Classic Chuck Jones short, brilliant in its simplicity, about a bulldog named Marc Antony who finds a new friend in a little black kitten (later named Pussyfoot). Throughout the cartoon, Marc Antony tries to protect his new friend from being discovered by the mistress of the house, fearful she won't let the kitty stay. Charming, sweet, funny, and clever -- it's just absolute perfection from start to finish. Beautiful animation with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Lovely, rich colors. Wonderful music from Carl Stalling. Bea Benaderet does a great job as the voice of the woman. It really doesn't get much better than this. When that kitten gets in the toy car, even the iciest of hearts will melt.

Probably the best of this type of cartoon that doesn't star any "famous" Looney Toon characters. This one will appeal to cat and dog lovers of all ages. A must see.Since the main topic of the cartoon has already been submitted, I will tell you why I liked this cartoon. First of all, I like cats, especially kittens, and at first it seems that the kitten will be attacked by the dog. But the dogs heart melts when the kitten gives the big, mean, tough bulldog a small lick on the chin and along with a cute kitten type "meeow". The dog then endures the kittens claws when it wants to "fluff" up the dogs back in order to use it as a bed.A very nice and kind cartoon, if only they were made like this today.

This is about the best short cartoon I have ever seen,...period. As a kid I loved it and as an adult my appreciation for it continues as strong as ever. It is both charming and funny and begs to be watched repeatedly.Mark Anthony is a mean-looking bull dog with a heart of gold. But he also has a terrible knack for bringing home junk that drives his owner (voiced by Bea Benaderet) crazy. She tells him NEVER to bring home any more stuff and threatens him if he does.A little later, Mark Anthony is walking down the street and comes upon an adorable little kitty. Being a mean-looking dog, he growls and snarls but the kitten responds by climbing on his back and falling asleep. Mark Anthony is charmed and can't resist bring home this cute cat. But, he's afraid what his owner will do, so he tries his best to hide the kitty--with little success.My absolute favorite part of the cartoon is when Mark Anthony thinks the kitten has been made into a cookie by his owner. Then, after she's done baking, she gives him a cookie resembling the cat and Mark Anthony falls to pieces! It's priceless,...especially when the real kitten shows up and he begins kissing it repeatedly. What magic! This cartoon has managed to combine humor with charm and cuteness without being cloying or over-the-top. A marvelous and magical toon.

Jones' trademark humor was definitely present during this cartoon, and watching it can produce great belly laughs. But the reason I got so attached to it, both as a little girl watching with my dad, and as an adult, was the charming story of bulldog Marc Anthony (which, I recently discovered, means "warlike alpha-male") melting into tears at the idea of his beloved kitten getting into trouble, or worse, being gone forever. Perhaps it was just my girlhood sentimentality, but I always find my heart breaking at Marc Anthony's instant and unconditional love for Pussyfoot. And of course it makes me smile to hear those timeless lines, "But remember, you have to take care of it! ...He's YOUR responsibility, now you hear me?"
