I will play about with frame rates, I just assumed as it still had the same number of frames it would be the same file size, just slower. Maybe I don't understand what frame rates are.

fps
well say it has 100 frames or individual images, if you reduced that to 50 and doubled the frame time, it'd last the same amount of time but have half the amount of frames saving a load of size, the more frames you cut the more jerky it will look though

It looks like he's done them freehand with the paintbrush on, say, 50% opacity.
Just messing about with the opactiy on the brush tool gives surprisingly good results. You can also reduce the opacity of the eraser and do it the other way round.
I think you can also somehow reduce the opacity of an entire layer to create a see-through image, but haven't tried it as I've never needed it for an image.

You're welcome :)
Here's an example of when the reduced-opactiy eraser can come in handy.
This didn't look right with the smaller image filling the thought bubble, but a bit of fuzziness around the edges it looks properly "daydreamy".
Edit: Yeah that is really effective in your dancing cat gif, will probably give it a go myself :)

yes i see what you did there!!
looks much better than sharp edges... think i would have probably faffed about with feather on the cut edges, or spray paint!!
..the cat is sitting on top of two layers taken from the same dance floor, which are slightly off set but on top of each other, so all you have to do is bring the opacity up on each layer alternately?
hope that makes sense :))

Yeah, it's like a dissolve in a movie
Useless fact: In the silent era they used to do dissolves as an in-camera effect. They would take the exposed film of the last few feet of the previous scene, then run it through the camera again for the beginning of the next one, turning the lighting up gradually so that the double exposure appears to fade in.

I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.
But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
