Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill Health) Act 1913 was viewed as violating basic human rights, not only of the suffragettes but of other prisoners. The Act's nickname of "Cat and Mouse Act", referring to the way the government seemed to play with prisoners as a cat may with a captured mouse, underlined how the cruelty of repeated releases and re-imprisonments turned the suffragettes from targets of scorn to objects of sympathy. The Asquith government's implementation of the Act caused the militant WSPU and the suffragettes to perceive Asquith as the enemy — an enemy to be vanquished in what the organisation saw as an all-out war.

The Year of the Mouse The Year of the Mouse The Year of the Mouse is a Tom and Jerry cartoon released in 1965, directed and produced by Chuck Jones, with animation by Dick Thompson, Ben Washam, Don Towsley, and Ken Harris. The cartoon itself is a revamped remake of Chuck Jones's earlier Warner Bros. Looney Tunes 1949 Oscar Nominated short "Mouse Wreckers", featuring Claude Cat and mouse duo Hubie and Bertie. This is one of the very few shorts in which Tom emerges victorious over Jerry. Whilst Tom is sleeping, Jerry and Tuffy on a chimney top, decide to play mean tricks on Tom.
