Farmer Al Falfa is having trouble with his cat -- who, we learn, is named Maria -- because it snores, goes out to fight with other cats, and escapes the chains Al puts it in to keep it home by dreaming of sawing wood, and using the saw to cut the chains.
It's a good if rather haphazard cartoon from Paul Terry's early Aesop's Fables days; it looks to me as if the first minute was tacked on when the main body of the cartoon proved too short, and they couldn't think of another gag. Even so, the gags that are there are good, and it's worth noting that for this period, Terry's staff did very elaborate background work.
