Cat Guards

"We're marching off to fight to catch that mouse and do what's right. We're marching off to fight to go and get that mouse. Hey ho, they way we go. 1, 2, 3, in a row. We're marching off the ground to go and crush that mouse."

- The marching song of the Cat Guards. The Cat Guards are the supporting antagonists of the 2007 direct-to-DVD movie Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker's Tale. They are a group of cats transformed into soldiers by the magic that brought the toys to life who serve the King of the Cats.

They are all voiced by Michael Donovan.
