Heavenly puss

Tom, it would seem, is sleeping calmly by the burning fireplace. Jerry quietly runs out of his hole and runs away. But Tom is ready ...

Jerry rises to the table behind cookies and immediately hides behind a candle. But immediately Tom appears, armed with a knife. When the mouse reaches for sweets, his hand is almost chopped off by Tom. Jerry runs up the stairs to the top floor. Tom tears off the carpet pinned to her from the stairs to pull Jerry down. Tom pulls the carpet towards him and with him the piano standing on the carpet. The piano rolls down. Jerry manages to escape the blow, but Tom, pressed the piano against the wall, dies.

Tom’s soul falls on a gold escalator leading to the gates of the Paradise Express , which takes the dead cats to Paradise . A white cat in a uniform cap - the gatekeeper of Paradise, studies the biographies of the souls of the deceased cats: Butch - who got into a fight with a bulldog, Frankie - who threw an iron when he sang songs, Aloysius - who did not notice the asphalt rink from the back, the drowned animals Pushok, Snezhok and Ryzhik. Tom tries to get past the gatekeeper, but he stops him. After reading his biography, he said that for the mockery of the mouse the passage was closed to him. But he added that he had another hour before the train departed, and if during this time the mouse signed the certificate “Forgive ...”, Tom would be allowed to pass, if he didn’t have time, he would fall into the infernal abyss where Spike the demon inhabited.

The gatekeeper warned Tom that time was limited, and Tom immediately returned to Earth. The cat at first, tries to bribe the mouse with a cake. He even tries to fake the signature, but the gatekeeper is watching him. Tom tries to bribe Jerry with cheese, but instead of signing a contract, Jerry vomits him. In a rage, Tom grabs Jerry and is going to finally deal with him, when suddenly a dog - a demon appears, and tells Tom to deal with Jerry. Tom realizes that he almost embarked on a criminal path, kisses Jerry and tries to clarify the situation to him, when a voice is heard: "Everything is in place, the train leaves!" Tom prays Jerry for help, and he is surprised to finally sign the contract. Tom runs on the express, but it's too late ....

Tom falls into Hell, and suffers in the clutches of Spike, the demon. Suddenly it turns out that all this is just a nightmare, and Tom wakes up. He is very cheerful. Tom runs up to Jerry and hugs him as a sign of friendship. Perplexed Jerry shrugs.

• The name of the animator Irven Spence in the opening credits is spelled incorrectly as "Irwin."
• This is the second episode in which Tom dies, but it was not at all the direct fault of Jerry (Maybe he didn’t want Tom to die).
• This is also one of the episodes where Tom and Jerry both win.
• Excerpts from the episode appear in the Shutter Bugged Cat series (1967).
• Matt Groening , creator of The Life in Hell comics and the animated sitcoms The Simpsons and Futurama , called the episode the worst movie he had ever seen. .

The charm of the characters and the brilliant acting are especially evident in the movie "Heavenly Puss" (Heavenly Puss). With every minute, the hope of salvation decreases, here the authors' imagination is realized with full force, bringing comic and dramatic tension to the limit.
