Ha, ha, ha!", the cat's pride can only be satisfied by rushing back into the house and chasing the mice into the snow, at which point the old owner acts gently with the cat. Ain't We Got Fun is one of only a handful of Warner Bros. cartoons (which also include The Night Watchman and We, The Animals-Squeak!) in which the cat is depicted as the hero and the mice as the villains rather than vice versa.
