The domestic cat (Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus) is a small, typically furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin. There are more than 70 cat breeds; different associations proclaim different numbers according to their standards. The International Progressive Cat Breeders Alliance (IPCBA) recognizes 73 cat breeds while TICA (The International Cat Association) recognizes 58, CFA (The Cat Fanciers' Association) recognizes 44 and Federation International Feline (FIFE) recognizes 43.
Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with a strong, flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Cats, despite being solitary hunters, are a social species and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.

Plot: Sylvester has been "blackballed" out of membership to the Loyal Order of Alley Cats Mouse and Chowder Club again. To gain the long-coveted membership, the Grand Master offers to let the lisping puddy tat place a big bell around the neck of the largest mouse he can find, so the cats can pounce on the mouse when they hear the bell. Just as that's going on, Hippety Hopper escapes from a city zoo truck. It's not long before he encounters the hapless Sylvester. Each attempt to place the bell around Hippety's neck ends with Sylvester wearing the bell (and the cats pounding the puddy into submission). In the end, Sylvester finally does get the bell around Hippety's neck, but by the time the cats are ready to pounce on the baby kangaroo-mistaken-for-a-giant-mouse, Hippety has been recaptured. The oblivious cats end up jumping in front of the city zoo truck! Sylvester now gets to serve as Loyal Order's Grand Master.

Genres: Animation, Short,Take me down in a stagecoach
Down to la dilligence
There were my heart is in the sudden hills
Old wheels keep on a-rolling
Down to la dilligence
Where you can chase away the evening chills
A name in neonlight
Will lead you throught the night
Shining from a far
It looks like a star
And the coachman whispered to page you
Down to la dilligence
He takes you ridin' to a world of grieves
Dancing, romancing
The lights turned down low
The nights young and swaying
Favorite bands are playing
Shining lights glancing
Candles glow
Beautiful people of the seashow
Dancing the night away
Good times are here to stay
Rolling on the sea of harmony
And the thrill of every moment
Down in that dilligence
Will remain a memory treasure in your heart
Dancing, romancing
The lights turned down low
The nights young and swaying
Favorite bands are playing
Shining lights glancing
Candles glow
Beautiful people of the seashow
A name in neonlight
Will lead you throught the night
Shining from a far
It looks like a star
Dancing the night away
Good times are here to stay
