Mice Meeting You is a 1950 Herman and Katnip cartoon. It marks the debut appearance of Katnip.
Summary[]
The little mice are planning a Christmas dinner. Katnip shows up dressed as Santa, and they let him in. He takes their food, puts them out in the snow, and hangs up stockings of his own. Cousin Herman shows up and asks, "Why the gloom?" Herman (and his cousins) and Katnip spend Christmas together. Unfortunately, unlike other cartoon cats, this pussycat DOESN'T get a happy ending, thanks to Herman, of course!
Plot[]
Katnip is out in the cold, cold snow; but he thinks maybe he won't go hungry this Christmas. He sees a warm house with a warm fire, and a lot of warm mice about to have a nice, hot turkey dinner. Katnip scams his way into the house by disguising himself as Santa Claus. And then he chases the mice into their hole by throwing Christmas ornaments at them. Cousin Herman arrives and is tantalized by the tempting aroma of the turkey. The sad mice show Herman why they're all shivering in their freezing hole. There's Katnip at the fireplace hanging up an enormous stocking next to a very long Christmas list. But wily Herman is not about to let a mangy cat dampen everyone's holiday spirits.
