Question for Tom and Jerry fans?

Hi. I'm looking for an old Tom and Jerry episode (not the recent "Tom and Jerry Tales" series, but the classic Tom and Jerry franchise from the forties, fifties, and sixties). The only distinctive thing about it which I remember is the following: Tom and Jerry are both being chased (perhaps by Spike the dog, though I honestly don't remember), and both try to hide in a display of toy mice. Jerry of course blends in; Tom, not so much. Anyway, when whoever's chasing them - again, I'm guessing it's Spike - sees this, he pulls the tails of the mice, which prompts them to say "Mama!" Jerry manages to stay out of trouble by simply mimicking the toy mice. Tom, on the other hand, says "Poppa!", and his voice is noticeably deeper than Jerry's. This of course blows their cover, at which point the wacky hijinks resume.

If anybody can provide the name of the episode and, if possible, a link, I'd be grateful. I've tried to find it but to no avail. Ten points to first correct answer.

Thanks in advance!

Update:

Blueberry, that may very well be it. My brother and I could feasibly be remembering it wrong. The idea is to share it with his son - my nephew - since they watch Tom + Jerry episodes together and he's been trying to track it down to share it with the little guy. Going to wait a bit to see if by any chance someone else suggests anything with all the elements I mentioned, assuming there's even such an episode. But thank you very much - you're in the early lead for best answer, and may of course get that by default anyway. ;-)

Update 2:

Simone, looks like I confused elements of the episode mentioned by Blueberry with the one you've mentioned. In any event, yes, that's the one! Thanks very much to both of you.
