I guess that Robert McKimson only cast Dodsworth and the anonymous kitten in two cartoons, but the two cats do some great stuff in both turns. In "A Peck o' Trouble", lazy Dodsworth wants to eat a woodpecker for breakfast, but the woodpecker lives in a tall tree, which Dodsworth refuses to climb (after all, no member of his family has ever stooped to physical labor). So, as in "Kiddin' the Kitten", Dodsworth pretends to teach a class on catching the animal, and teaches a kitten how to do it (in the first cartoon, the kitten was white; here he's yellow). But sure enough, things don't go quite as Dodsworth planned.
At first glance, this is a neat look at turning a dishonest situation upside down. But also, it shows that - contrary to what some people have written in other reviews - Robert McKimson directed many good shorts. When Warner Bros. had to close one of its animation units in the late 1940s, it's a good thing that they kept open McKimson's unit; without it, we wouldn't have Foghorn Leghorn, Hippety Hopper and the Tasmanian Devil.* Anyway, I just get a kick out of what happens to the languid Dodsworth. He's like a feline version of Foghorn Leghorn. Worth seeing.
PS: Sheldon Leonard, who provided Dodsworth's voice, produced "The Danny Thomas Show", "The Andy Griffith Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show".
*In all fairness to Arthur Davis (whose unit they discontinued), he had a pretty interesting record, namely "Bowery Bugs".
