Pixie and Dixie were two mouse characters on The Huckleberry Hound Show. In many ways, the shorts resemble Hanna-Barbera's earlier, better-known creation, Tom & Jerry, which also featured a warring cat (Tom, in this case) and mouse (Jerry, who was sometimes accompanied by his nephew or another supporting character) in a domestic setting. However, without a more lavish budget for full animation, the Pixie and Dixie team had to rely on funny dialogue and voice acting to carry the cartoon's humor. The cartoon was also less violent; in addition (unlike the slightly sinister Tom), the headstrong Jinks (in reality) was too dense to pose much of a real threat to the mice.
Mr. Jinks is an orange cat sporting a blue bow tie, who loves to chase Pixie and Dixie ("in a nice way, you know..."); he's known for his rhyming (yet grammatically incorrect) phrase, "I hate those meeces to pieces!"
