Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse
Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse is a cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera and, originally, aired as a segment on the 1964–66 cartoon The Magilla Gorilla Show.
Plot
The show features a hillbilly cat, called Punkin' Puss (voiced by Allan Melvin), who lives in a house in the woods of the Southern United States. Punkin' is preoccupied with a hillbilly mouse, called Mushmouse (voiced by Howard Morris), who lives there too; and Punkin' frequently tries to shoot him with his rifle. In many cartoons, one of Mushmouse's cousins visits and gives Punkin' Puss a hard time. They are similar to a hillbilly Tom and Jerry chase series.
The "Nowhere Bear" has Punkin' Puss continually disrupting an angry bear's sleep. The episode "Small Change" has Punkin' Puss (and later, a dog, as well) shrinking to mouse-size.
