Mr. Jack's Hat and the Cat (1916)

Feline love is nothing in the life of Mr. Jack, who pronounces the death sentence upon his wife's pet cat. Mr. Jack meets some of the boys and after dallying with Gambrinus for an hour or so in his favorite café, sets sail for home. En route everybody, including the police, pick on him, but after a stormy voyage, he finally arrives. Mrs. Jack greets him with a hard-luck story about the disappearing cat and he is shaking hands with himself for having put one over on the wife when she asks him about a hat, that he has been bringing home for a week. "What's the idea of the third degree?" he asks and drags out a sketchy looking hat box. The lid is pried off and out tumbles a flock of cat and kittens. Mr. Jack has a "village cut-up" friend who has changed a hat into a cat, plus an armful of kittens. Mr. Jack is "out" for eight minutes.
