The bulldog asks Claude if cats eat mice, which he denies, and asks Hubie and Bertie if mice eat cheese, which they also deny. The bulldog, now totally flummoxed, attempts to figure things out by using an [[adding machine]]. Unfortunately, he realizes that "(i)t just don't add up!" and, having likely been driven crazy himself, chases after a passing dog catcher truck, begging the driver to wait for him to board, followed by Claude demanding the dog massacre him, and then by the mice taunting the cowardly cat to eat them. |

This is the first appearance of the bulldog that would become [[Marc Antony and Pussyfoot|Marc Antony]] in ''[[Feed the Kitty]]'' (1952), ''[[Kiss Me Cat]]'' (1953), ''[[Cat Feud]]'' (1958), and ''[[Feline Frame-Up]]'' (1954).{{cite web | url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043400/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv | title=Cheese Chasers (1951) - IMDb | website=[[IMDb]] }} |

The plot resembles that of the 1945 cartoon, ''[[Life with Feathers]]'', directed by [[Friz Freleng]] and written by [[Tedd Pierce]], which marked the first appearance of [[Sylvester the Cat]] in his mature form. In that short, a jilted suicidal Lovebird repeatedly tries to get Sylvester to eat him, and a suspicious Sylvester refuses, believing the bird is trying to poison him. |
