Notes

Tom Cat is mute in this short. The other Chiko shorts where Tom is mute are Chiko Pie Little Cat Trouble and Treetop Chiko

The gag where Chiko attacks Tom whom is jumping on the trampoline to grab him from his house is similar to a gag from A Tail Of Two Kitties where Chiko attacks Catsello whom is jumping with springs to grab him from his nest.
