The story

What Is Tomcat Combat About?

The premise of Tomcat Combat without spoilers.

Woody Woodpecker squares off with a massive tomcat, and after a string of near‑even escapades he manages to trick the cat into a dog‑catcher’s truck brimming with sour‑mouthed dogs who loathe felines. In the final gag Woody catapults the cat into outer space with an enormous, non‑Acme rocket that hurls the feline far beyond Earth, gone.
