The book also describes her as male, though—evidently the author wasn't aware of THE BARNYARD BROADCAST!<br /><br />Interestingly, in the comics Donald also has a cat named Tabby, though he's a very different-looking cat (definite tomcat, similar in design to Sergeant Tibbs).ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364805792882783170.post-23824473939487528032009-08-25T16:12:12.381-04:002009-08-25T16:12:12.381-04:00Good question about the cat.

David, are you still out there?<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the reviews. I think the quality of the shorts is getting better and better, even though they are somewhat formulaic. Just my opinion.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126059549015204825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364805792882783170.post-63683771224709723692009-08-25T15:58:18.091-04:002009-08-25T15:58:18.091-04:00I'm really enjoying your reviews, Ryan.

This one's got a lot of stuff which is typical for Mickey in this era (moving to the music, playing and flirting with Minnie etc.), but it's still a lot of fun, as you say. The chase sequence contains a whole load of funny stuff. My favourite gags include the poor owl who cries when he loses half his feathers to the mower and those fish who get cut into skeletons. It's a pretty sick gag when you stop and think about it, but I admit I'm even more sick for imagining our happy mouse starring in a slasher flick whenever I hear the title "Mickey Cuts Up"!<br /><br />BTW the cat in this cartoon has certainly become a recurring character throughout 1931, but I think we'll find that she'll soon fade into obscurity. I wonder if the Disney staff ever gave her a name?Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701967442508380462noreply@blogger.com
