- The Cold Little Kitten Who Found Some Mittens · 5 pages
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.
