I don't even like to think of the cats as villains. They are what they are, and that is two girl-cats  who are very curious about their new surroundings. Anyone who has ever had cats will recognize much of the behavior of the two cats. I have had many cats, including a couple siamese. I have also had several dachshunds. Like many people it was Lady and the Tramp which introduced me to siamese cats in my childhood.

There was a page Disney borrowed from this story was in The Ugly Dachshund. If you haven't seen it, a woman raises spoiled show dachshunds, but her husband adopts a Great Dane puppy. The dachshund play the same mischief on the Great Dane that Si and Am played on Lady. It all sorted itself out in the end, but this story spied the same mischief to cute little dachshunds.
