Whoa!

Gweeseek!

Gweeseek, get over -- come on.

Whoa! [ Grunts ]

Huh?

♪♪

Hmm...

Maybe...

No, no, n-no.

Uh...

Yeah, I think --

Ugh. Tiggy: Uh, then again...

They're all strawberries.

They're all the same.

To the untrained eye maybe.

But look, this basket has one giant strawberry --

which, I have to admit, is intriguing.

And then I look at this one --

a bunch of little strawberries,

also intriguing.

You know what? Just, here.

That'll be 5 bucks.

Oh, I don't have any money.

[ Sighs ] Of course.

I don't have time for this.

Gotta hurry up and get home before Nibbles goes berserk.

Nibbles?

Berserk? [ Chuckles ]

You're talking gibberish, Prangle.

Nibbles is my mom's cat.

She's out of town, so I have to take care of it.

Aww. You get to play with a little, blubby baby.

That sounds fun.

It's a waking nightmare!

The thing is an abomination of nature.

Its hiss is like a thousand chalkboards

being scratched with really long fingernails,

and its eyes, Tiggy, oh, its little red eyes.

They chill me to my very core.

A cat?

A little cat?

A little teeny kitty cat?

You don't know this cat.

What? I know everything there is to know about cats.

I'm Mister Cat.

Tell you what. I'll help you

with your little kitty cat problem.

Aren't you supposed to be out finding stuff or something?

I think I can take a little break to help out a friend.

Friend?

Tiggy: So this is your house, huh?

It's my mom's house.

And you've been here before.

Oh, right, okay, h-heh.

Come on, Seek, let's go take a look at this fuzzy little kitty.

Gweeseek?

Gweeseek, here.

Gweeseek, here.

Here. Gwe-Gweeseek.

I thought you were a cat expert.

I am. Uh, and because I am an expert,

I know just how to deal with this very situación.

Treats? Ah-ah-ah, cat treats.

A tool of the trade.

Gweese-e-e-e-ek, you want a little bit of the good stuff?

I know you do-o-o-o.

[ Gweeseek meows ]

And that's a-how it's done.

Huh.

My mom left this note about how to take care of Nibbles.

Mm, yeah, yeah, let's read it...

is what I'd say if I wasn't already an expert.

Tiggy! Prangle, trust me.

By the time I'm through, you and Nibbles are gonna be like this.

And this.

And this.

[ Grunting ]

Now, where is that fuzzy little angel?

It's over there...

in the corner.

Under the blanket.

In the cage.

[ Cage rattling, Nibbles growling ]

[ Gasps ]

Oh, Prangle, so naive.

There's your first mistake -- Cats hate cages.

And they despise blankets.

Good thing you called in an expert --

Aah!

What is that?

What do you mean? It's a cat, right?

I-It looks exactly like Gweeseek.

Look at them. They're like twins.

This is the type of stuff I thought you knew about.

Of course. Of course, it's a cat.

This is none other than the North American...

Uh...

stretchy girl --

boy -- cat.

Yes, a rare breed of kitty,

known for its stretchiness and other stretchy qualities.

Fascinating!

How do I get it to stop doing this?

Mm, yes, yes, I-I've seen this before a-a million times.

Nibbles doesn't respect you.

Join the club.

You must assert dominance.

You must take your rightful place as the alpha cat.

The alpha cat? I like that.

We'll start by looking Nibbles directly in the eyes.

[ Hisses ] Oh, no, I don't like that.

Trust me. Would I lead you astray?

Me? Mr. Cat expert?

Look him straight in the eyes.

Oh, no,

he's looking at me! Don't look away.

That goes against all of my instincts.

Your instincts are wrong. Look at him!

Okay, fine! Good. Good.

Now you have to intimidate him.

Intimidate him?

Furrow your brow.

Bare your teeth -- B-But smile with your eyes.

Wider. Wider.

Less wide. Split the difference.

Perfect.

Whatever you do, don't blink.

If you blink first, Nibbles will never respect you.

[ Nibbles growling ]

Uh... He blinked!

He blinked! Prangle, you did it!

You're the alpha cat!

Did you see that? Nibbles was like, "Uh."

And I was like, "Yeah!"

And I was like... "Mm-hmm."

I've never felt so alive!

Tiggy: Come on, Nibbles. What are you doing?

I'm opening the cage.

Well, stop it!

Prangle. You're ready.

You need to believe in yourself --

But mostly, you need to believe in me.

Because I know what I'm doing.

Do you believe in me?

I think I do, almost.

I'm gonna ask you this again.

Do you believe in me?

Uh...yes?

Do you believe in me?! Yes!

Louder! Yes!

And are you ready for me to open this cage?!

Yes! My confidence is at an all time high!

Command Nibbles to come to you.

I, Prangle, the alpha cat,

command you, the regular cat,

to come -- Ah! No!

You're the alpha! [ Scratching ]

You're the alpha!

Oh, no, he's gone berserk!

Uh, no, n-n-no.

I have this under control.

Aah!

Uh, never mind.

Not the salt and pepper shakers!

They've been in my family since my mom bought them!

[ Vase shatters ]

♪♪

Nibbles, no!

Come here!

[ Gweeseek meows ]

Gweeseek, what do I do?

Gweeseek... Now's not the time for treats!

We're trying to figure out how to --

[ Gasps ] The treats!

Oh, Nibbles... [ Bag shakes ]

You want some of the good stuff?

I know you do-o-o-o-o.

[ Nibbles purrs ]

Oof.

You see that, Prangle?

Nibbles is under my complete control.

And you stopped believing in me.

Geez, my mom -- She's gonna be so mad at me.

She's gonna give me away. [ Whimpers ]

Who's a good stretchy kitty?

[ Gweeseek meows ] Don't worry, Gweeseek,

I haven't forgotten about you.

Hey, ya big bully! That was for Gweeseek!

[ Nibbles growls ]

Don't you take that tone with me!

[ Hisses ]

How do you like it, huh?

You're angering him!

Listen up, Nibbles, if you don't behave,

you're never getting a treat.

Aah!

N-n-no, get out! Get out! Get out!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Take 'em! Take 'em!

♪♪

Whew. That could have been bad.

That was bad.

This is bad!

Prangle, relax.

What's the harm in Nibbles getting a little fresh air?

He's never gone outside before!

Nibbles is an indoor cat!

[ Gasps ]

He's gone for good.

My mom will be devastated!

Crushed!

She loves that furry monster more than life itself.

And I let her down.

No, I let her down.

I'm not really an expert, alright?

I was just trying to impress you.

When you looked at me

with those big, sad, chicken eyes and whispered,

"Tiggy, you're the smartest and best person I know..."

I don't remember saying that.

Where's that note? Your mom's note.

Maybe it's useful after all.

Shoo! Cat, get away!

"Prangle... Here are some instructions

for taking care of my... ferret"?!

What is a ferret?

I don't know. Some kind of cat?

The note says, "Whatever you do, don't stare at it,

don't take it out of its cage,

and don't feed it treats...

especially cat treats."

That's, like, all the stuff we did!

Prangle, there's no point dwelling on the past.

Look here! It says Nibbles loves it when you sing to him.

Maybe if we sing him a song, he'll come back inside!

Tiggy, I don't really sing.

Neither do I. But sometimes

you have to pretend you're good at something

and hope for the best.

Yeah! Wait...what?

Well...here goes nothing.

You know, Prangle, that song wasn't half bad.

It was all bad!

Seriously, I think we have something here.

A whole untapped market of music...

specifically for ferrets!

It's time for you to go, Tiggy.

Together, we could take the ferret world by storm!

Get out of my house!

Wait, I thought this was your mom's house.

[ Chuckles ] It's like...learn whose house this is, Prangle.

That was funny, right, Gweeseek?

Maybe I could do comedy for cats.
