“Sylvester” and his bright orange pal “Sam” are raiding the waterside dustbins looking for their evening meal when they espy a mouse! This isn’t the nimblest critter around and so is soon apprehended, but in the spirit of companionship they agree to savour this little snack for tomorrow’s breakfast. Safely ensconced in a corked jar dangling beneath their cabin, the mouse is left whilst the two try to catch some sleep. Of course soon their tummies start to rumble and their imaginations run wild, and so what now ensues sees each of them trying to outwit the other so they don’t have to share! It’s quite good fun, this, featuring the usual calamity props. What it does miss, though, is more activity from their prey. Indeed, despite some lovely fed up expressions near the start, it doesn’t really appear as the two cats try to find new uses for sticks of dynamite. Passes the time fine, but not so very memorably.
