Master Tom (Felix) is lured by a “meow” to the home of Miss Kitty White. He makes a date with her, spruces up, and meets her at “the trysting place”, the fence where he sings “I have nine lives to live”. Felix doesn’t know that mice are raising Cain while he’s away from home, and on his return he is ejected. Reapproaching Kitty he finds that she already has a litter. Felix decides to commit suicide.
