Baby Butch
0 views
An alley cat is foraging for food when he sees Tom’s house and decides it’s a rich haul. He dresses as a foundling baby and lands on the doorstep. Tom takes him in and Butch proceeds to raid the fridge between Tom’s babying him. What he doesn’t know is that Jerry’s going to grab the ham Butch swiped every chance he gets.

Curator’s rating
Butch the alley cat poses as an abandoned baby to get at Tom's food supply, which puts Tom in the unusual position of being the responsible householder. Any premise that forces Tom to behave well while being robbed is a good one, and the studio used the fake-foundling device several times because it reliably reverses the sympathies.
