 Her face is never seen (with the exception of "Saturday Evening Puss" (1950), in which her face is very briefly seen as she runs towards the camera), and she usually attacks the cat (whom she usually addresses as "Thomas") whenever she believes he is misbehaving.Mammy would appear in 19 cartoons, starting with "Puss Gets the Boot" (1940) and ending with "Push-Button Kitty" (1952).Gene Deitch opted not to use Mammy's character in his shorts, as he felt a "stereotypical black housekeep" character "didn't work in a modern context."
