Just thought I'm mention that in the original book Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi circa 1883, the Fox and the Cat do indeed suffer punishment: near the end of the story Pinocchio sees them living on the street as a pair of crippled beggars. And they really are crippled, and I think blind as well. Their evil deeds finally caught up with them, although Pinocchio wasn't the one that punished them. I guess Uncle Walt left that out of the movie because of time restraints. BTW, the book is pretty rough. Pinocchio is not a nice kid. He actually kills the Cricket at one point, and it comes back as a ghost. He also nearly gets burned in a fire and roasted alive for dinner. Wow, what people considered proper children's literature back then...brrr...
