''Posse Cat'' is a 1954 one reel animated ''Tom and Jerry'' short. As with all ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons at the time, it was directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby with music by Scott Bradley. The short was animated by Irven Spence, Ed Barge, Kenneth Muse and Ray Patterson, the usual quartet of animators who dealt with the vast majority of ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts in the Hanna and Barbera era. The backgrounds was credited to Robert Gentle. It was released on January 30, 1954 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. ''Posse Cat'' is seen as the sequel or successor to 1950's ''Texas Tom'', which is often considered one of the more popular ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts, though it was not nominated for an Academy Award that year. ==Plot== Tom is sleeping in a ranch kitchen, allowing Jerry to steal a sausage from the cook. The cook, annoyed at Tom's laziness, refuses to give him his meal of a turkey leg and mashed potatoes in gravy until he catches Jerry, chasing the cat out by shooting at him with his revolver. Tom paints his finger brown to disguise it as a sausage and coerce Jerry into lassoing it. After pulling Tom through the mouse hole, Jerry retreats, with Tom chasing. Tom catches Jerry, but a rake strikes and rings the triangle calling for Tom's dinner, so Tom drops Jerry, only to be chased out again by the cook. Tom tries to lasso Jerry, but misses and catches the turkey, being shot away again by the cook. Tom lays a cheese trap for Jerry at his mousehole, but Jerry, outside, walks in and puts two pieces of bread between the sleeping cook's hand and rings the triangle, causing Tom to bite the cook's hand and be shot out again. Jerry takes a baguette and, while fleeing from Tom, places a bull's tail into the baguette. As Tom bites it, the bull charges Tom into the wall of the shack. As Tom charges at Jerry, Jerry stops him and presents him a contract; Jerry will allow Tom to capture him and earn the meal, as long as the cat shares it with the mouse. Tom agress and the two shake hands. Jerry allows Tom to shoot at him and earn the meal from the delighted cook, but Tom goes to eat it on his own, causing Jerry to remind him about the contract. Tom shoots the contract, causing Jerry to throw Tom's meal into his face. Tom chases Jerry with a hot branding iron, but Jerry opens the door and Tom hits the cook. Angry, the cook chases Tom with his revolvers, while Jerry watches, eating a chicken drumstick. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Posse Cat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
