What a tired old cat and mouse routine.

Hey, tomcat.

Ain't you tired of never catching

that stinkin' mouse?

Problem is...

...you're going about catchin' mice

all wrong.

You've got no discipline

no game plan

no dignity.

What you need, brother, is to join me

and the League of Cats.

The League of Cats is a super secret society.

Like, we got each other's backs, man.

Sign this card and you're in.

Attaboy. Heh heh heh.

Now, the quick initiation process.

And welcome to the club.

Come to our secret meeting tonight.

'It's at 43...'

[indistinct chattering]

Now listen up.

'This is a mouse.'

[growling]

'No, no, a picture of a mouse.'

This is a cat.

[all cheering]

'Now, this is the old-fashioned way'

'of catching a mouse.'

'The problem, the little guy just runs circles'

'around the likes of us cats.'

'This way and that way'

'over hill and down, backwards and forwards.'

It's enough to make you sick.

Now then, same mouse...

'...same cat.'

'Only this time, the cat whistles'

'for help from the league.'

[whistles]

plop plop plop

[intense music]

'By following this simple tactic'

'we'll catch us more mice'

with less work.

This place will be loaded with mice.

We'll all be fat cats.

[laughs]

So the next time one of youse cats

corners a mouse

just whistle.

Got it?

(in unison) Got it!

[chuckles] Okay, so we ain't

a well-oiled machine yet.

But next time we'll have a field day.

We are the League of Cats!

(in unison) We are the league!

[whistles]

Let's get 'em!

Like, when you're a cat

no mouse makes you sweat.

It ain't like we're getting a shot at the vet.

(in unison) When you're a mouse

no cats can compare.

We'll hang you out to dry in your underwear.

I know where you can do it.

(female #1) 'Well, this is certainly a fine'

'how do you do, isn't it, Thomas?'

'First, a heat wave that makes Death Valley'

'seem like a good idea for a vacation spot.'

'And now our air conditioner is on the fritz'

'so we can't even cool the house down.'

'Maybe this will help.'

[instrumental music]

'My, my, Thomas, you read my mind.'

'We shouldn't let all this nice, cool air'

'go to waste, now, should we?'

'Guilty is written all over your face.'

'Oh, don't give me that look'

'you naughty cat.'

'I know what you did.'

'Not so fast, mister.'

'Don't be trying to blame it on that little mouse.'

'The only place a naughty cat like you belongs'
