Just found this M-G-M cartoon short on Daily Motion. A cat finds out he has four kittens and tries to keep his female master from finding out. This is a cute and very amusing cartoon usually devoid of slapstick but there are plenty of chases nonetheless, mostly concerning the adult cat trying to keep his kids out of sight. Rudolf Ising gets a credit here so it must be his influence director Robert Allan is basing his approach on. This is one of those rare M-G-M animated shorts I've never seen on the "Tom and Jerry" show on weekday afternoons when I came home from school in the '70s. Thanks to the internet, I've been discovering new animated gems almost every day. So on that note, I recommend Chips Off the Old Block.
