Cruise Cat

Cruise Cat is the seventy-first animated theatrical short of the Tom and Jerry series. It was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on October 18, 1952. It was produced by Fred Quimby, and written and directed by series creators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

Tom, working as the mascot aboard the S.S. Aloha, receives a warning from the captain that he will be kicked off if he finds a mouse on the ship. That mouse, of course, is Jerry, who snuck inside of the ship before it sails to Hawaii.
