This is a Tom & Jerry short from the 1940's.
In it, a little girl named Nancy (called that in Wiki), had dressed Tom in a diaper and baby bonnet, and then proceeds to treat and talk to him in a very harsh manner.
After she leaves the playroom, Tom is taunted mercilessly by both Jerry and Tom's alley-cat "friends".
I gotta admit that it was extremely funny, even if sadistic.
While it would be easy to hate Nancy for calling Tom a "bad baby" and then dosing him with castor oil, causing him to puke (very un-PC), I figured that was the way Nancy herself was treated when she was a baby, either by her mother or (more likely) by her "mammy".
Anyway, Tom scores a Phyrric victory of sorts, when a glob of castor oil falls into the mouth of Jerry, causing HIM to puke, too!
And so, the cartoon ends.
