Scat Cats is the second and final Spike and Tyke cartoon produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
Plot[]
Spike and Tyke are told by their owners George and Joan whom are leaving the house for the night to guard the place while they are gone and not let anyone in the house, but Butch calls his friends to visit. The minute the three cats started sneaking into the house, Spike scares them out of the house, followed by Tyke biting Lighting with him saying "Is this your kid?". Spike tells Tyke "What a watchdog!".
Meathead, Lightning and Topsy then attempt to sneak into the house past Spike and Tyke, all ending in failure:
1. Lightning is using the rope up a tree, but Spike pushes the chimney to the window and causes Lightning to crash into it.
2. Topsy tries to slingshot himself through a window, but Spike uses a baseball glove to catch him.
3. Meathead uses a ladder to climb to the chimney. Spike simply picks up the ladder and takes it away. Meathead clings to the roof, only for the entire thing to collapse.
4. Topsy rides on a paper airplane to the window but Spike uses a lighter to ignite the plane. As soon as Topsy reaches Butch, the plane disintegrates, causing Topsy to plummet to the ground hard as his parachute activates too soon.
5. Lightning launches Meathead to the window, and Butch uses the net to catch him. Spike cuts the net and Meathead ends up landing in a trashcan, also on a seesaw; Spike launches the trashcan to Lightning and they both fall inside, looking out with annoyed expression.
6. Butch uses the in the window to communicate with the other cats, telling them to dig. Lightning digs underground to the house, but Spike is underground as well, and bites his arm. Lightning nonchalantly exits the house, with Spike still chomping his arm.
7. The three cats ride their bike into the house; while they are successful, they end up going too fast and ultimately barrel through the whole house. When they try to brake, they are turned to dust, which Spike disposes of via a dustpan and broom.
Finally, Lightning and Meathead pose as Joan and George, with Topsy hidden in their luggage. While Spike falls for their tricks, Tyke is not fooled as he bites "George." Spike, thinking that Tyke is biting their master's butt, apologizes for his son's actions, claiming that Tyke is young, inexperienced, and doesn't know what he's doing. As Spike tries to remove Lightning's clothes, they rip off, foiling the disguise. Butch notices this from inside and flees up a tree along with the other cats as both Spike and Tyke chase them, followed by Tyke biting Lighting's butt again "This your kid?" he asks again, as Spike takes him off. As they run back to the tree, the cats eat enjoy their sandwiches as Lightning admits that Spike is a swell watch dog and Tyke is a chip off the old block, as the two dogs are proud of themselves, Spike says "that's my boy" to Tyke.
