Synopsis
It's a rainy day and the constant clanking of swords created by the Mouse Musketeers' indoor dueling with M'sieur Poosycat, has gotten on the King's nerves. He tries anything and everything to expel them from the castle.
When Jerry and Tuffy learn that the mayor has declared a "Get a Pet Day", Tom forces himself on the mice as their demanding pet - so that he can be pampered and waited-on.
