☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bats and Rats," the ever-scheming Spike pulls a classic prank on the yowling alley cat by tossing a little girl’s mechanical walking doll his way—only for the cat to mistake the mittens and shoes on the doll for a generous gift. When the doll goes missing and the girl starts searching, Spike and Tyke take up the chase through the snow, unaware their target is now a well-dressed, fast-talking feline with a flair for theatrics. Written by Michael Maltese and illustrated by Lynn Karp, this 1956 Dell classic captures the zany, rapid-fire energy of the golden age of cartoon storytelling, with Harvey Eisenberg’s cover adding a touch of playful menace.

To quiet a cold and yowling wise-guy alley cat, Spike throws a little girl's mechanical walking doll at him. As the doll is outfitted with mittens and shoes, which just happen to be the right size, the cat dons them and interprets it as an act of kindness on Spike's part. When the girl finds her doll missing, Spike and Tyke search for it in the snow. They find the doll sans mittens and shoes, and now turn their search toward the cat. In true "Michael Maltese cartoon fashion", the fast-talking feline, now comfy in his newfound winter outfit, gives the dogs the run around.
