You'll believe a cat can fly.

Fed up with being scolded for breaking things while chasing Jerry, Tom answers a newspaper ad placed by a 'little old lady' seeking a cat companion. When Tom arrives at the woman's house, a creepy old place constantly lashed by a thunderstorm, he realises that the old lady is a witch. At first he is terrified, but once he is used to the idea, Tom has a lot of fun with his new owner's magic broom, using it to teach Jerry a lesson.

While I appreciate the fact that this short tries something a little different with the long running format, I can't say that I like the new look given to the characters: there's something a little off about Tom and Jerry, and the less said about the woman whose house they occupy the better—give me Mammy Two Shoes any day of the week. Even the witch is a poor man's version of Witch Hazel from the Bugs Bunny short Bewitched Bunny (1954).
