Demon Cats (Pluto's Judgement Day)

"You're on trial today for the crimes that you've committed! We're gonna prove ya GUILTY! Just try to get acquitted!"

- Cat Prosecutor to Pluto

The Demon Cats are the main antagonists of the Disney short, Pluto's Judgement Day, in which they attempt to take revenge on Pluto for his prejudice against cats in a rigged trial.

Synopsis
In the beginning of the cartoon, we see Pluto chasing a young kitten into Mickey's house. His master scolds him for bullying cats and warns him that he will have much to answer for on his "judgement day". As Mickey goes to clean the kitten, Pluto goes to sleep next to the fireplace, showing no remorse for his actions. But as he falls to slumber, he dreams of a full-grown cat coming into the house and provoking Pluto into chasing him. Pluto does so, but then falls into a trap leading him into Hell itself, where he is chained to several iron balls and a crowd of hellish felines appear around him with angry expressions, including an orange cat wearing a judge outfit, eight black cats standing on a fence with a sign that says "Jury", and a large cat wearing a red cloak, who acts as the prosecutor.

The prosecutor proclaims that Pluto is on trial for the numerous crimes that he has committed against their kind, and they all promise that he shall be found guilty and receive "justice". They then roll out other cats who've been victimized by Pluto, but all their testimonies are all dubious at best. The first was a fat cat who claimed that Pluto assaulted for his obesity and then chased him under a steamroller, which squashed him to death. The second is a shaking cat strapped to a wheelchair whose caretaker claims has "dog-shock", and demonstrates by using a toy dog to send him into a panic attack. Then the last victims were three orphaned kittens who claim that Pluto not only stole their milk and food, but also murdered their "Uncle Tom" by drowning him in the river.

At this point, the judge declares they've seen enough to reach a verdict. The Jury then quickly declare Pluto guilty and he is dragged off to meet his fate in the "hot seat". In the real world, Pluto whimpers in his sleep until a flint from the fireplace jumps unto his behind, waking him up. He crashes into the bucket where Mickey is cleaning the kitten. When he sees it, he becomes terrified and tries to run away, but Mickey insists that they get along. The kitten licks Pluto and he licks back, showing that he has ended his bullying ways.
