Who keeps ball bearings in their fridge? Apparently Tedd Pierce did. He wrote Kiddin’ the Kitten, a Warner Bros. cartoon featuring Dodsworth the lazy cat and a little kitten.
The kitten uses the ball bearings and a magnet to catch mice.
Phil De Lara, Rod Scribner and Chuck McKimson are the only credited animators.
Tedd may have been hoping audiences would equate the ball bearings to silver dragées used in cake decorations. Kind of a leap, but those metallic-looking things were kept in refrigerators for decorative use.
