“Fraidy Cat” was one of the better early Tom & Jerry efforts, even the frightening ghost Story on the old radio set would have even given myself nightmares, an all round funny cartoon. In the 1970s, Filmation produced a TV cartoon series called Fraidy Cat, which had nothing at all to do with the 1942 Tom & Jerry cartoon.
