Alley Cats

The alley cats are friends of Scat Cat who appear in Disney's 1970 movie, The Aristocats. Shun Gon is voiced by Paul Winchell; Hit Cat is voiced by Lord Tim Hudson; Peppo is voiced by Vito Scotti; and Billy Boss is voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft.

Background
The alley cats are a band of Scat Cat's. Shun Gon plays the piano; Hit Cat plays the guitar; Peppo plays the accordion; and Billy Boss plays the cello. Their boss Scat Cat plays the trumpet. Together they play jazz music, while their boss usually sings scat.

Role in Film
The alley cats are first seen when Thomas O'Malley leads Duchess and her weary kittens to his penthouse. Jazz music can be heard from inside. Duchess still insists on spending the night here, so O'Malley allows them to stay and introduces Scat Cat and his gang of alley cats who are making lively music together. While playing their instruments, the alley cats and their boss sing Everybody Wants to Be a Cat. O'Malley and Duchess join in, as do Berlioz, Marie and Toulouse. During the song, O'Malley and Duchess do a dance number, and then Duchess sings a beautiful solo while playing the harp.

The alley cats reappear later when Edgar tries to ship Duchess and her kittens, who are locked in a trunk, to Timbuktu. They pile on top of the bulter, screeching and clawing, while Roquefort attempts to release Duchess's family by cracking the combination lock, abruptly yelling for silence in order to hear better. The alleys cats defeat Edgar by locking him in the trunk and pushing it outside. The alley cats then watch as Edgar is shipped off to Timbuktu.

The alley cats are last seen at Madame Adelaide Bonfamille's mansion, which she opens up to all the alley cats of Paris. The cats celebrate around the grand piano in Madame's piano room downstairs, playing their instruments and singing a reprise of "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat."
