The story

What Is Push-Button Kitty About?

The premise of Push-Button Kitty without spoilers.

Tom’s laziness lets Mammy toss him out when her new robot cat, Mechano, arrives to hunt mice. Mechano’s frightening efficiency foils Jerry’s tricks, so Jerry releases mechanical mice, causing the zealous robot to wreak havoc, self‑destruct, and ruin the house. Tom returns, but a robot part ends up in his throat; Jerry powers it, sending Tom after a wind‑up mouse.
