An animated illustration of the folksong, "The Cat Came Back," sung by a quartet.

The cat is destructive, so Old Mr. Johnson puts it back on the doorstep.

The cat comes back through the mail slot.

Each time, Old Mr. Johnson takes the brunt of the adventure and the cat returns more destructive than before.

Finally it's time for dynamite. Nine lives anyone? Mee-ouch.
