I'm 31, but I loved that show as a kid. Snagglepuss chasing those two "meeces" wearing the ball caps. Don't remember there names. I'm sure they were reruns even back then.

Actually...

"I hate those meeces to pieces!" was a quote from Mr. Jinks (the cat) in reference to his co-stars Pixie and Dixie of the Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks cartoon.

Snagglepuss was known for "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" and "Exit, stage right!"
 
I couldn't think of mr Jinx, the site I looked up snagglepuss at listed him as saying I hate those meeces along with the exit stage left ---I will look some more---Mr jinx sounds right to me also . I found this--"In many ways the shorts resemble Hanna-Barbera's earlier better-known creation, Tom & Jerry, which also featured a warring cat and mouse (sometimes two) in a domestic setting. However without Tom and Jerry's more lavish budget for full animation, the Jinks team had to rely on funny dialogue and voices to carry the cartoon's humor. The cartoon was also less violent, and unlike the slightly sinister Tom, the headstrong Jinks was, in reality, too dense to pose much of a real threat to the mice.

Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks is also remembered for Mr. Jinks' rhyming but ungrammatical lament, "I hate those meeces to pieces!".

As with Huckleberry Hound, Mr. Jinks would frequently talk directly to the audience, and discuss his plans to trap the "meeces"."
