Top of the food chain, fellas.

You lose.

[clangs]

[thuds]

[concierge] Spike, Tom. There you are.

The staff voted

and somehow you two have won "Best Behaved Pets" in the hotel.

I'd hate to see the worst.

As your prize,

you'll be treated to the hotel spa

just like the human guests.

Heaven help that poor spa hostess.

Hey, uh, looks like the good behavior has paid off.

Eh, pal?

Hello. Welcome to your spa experience.

Let's start off with some yoga.

Please, unroll your mats.

[chuckling softly]

Hm. It appears your mat is even more tense than you are.

Try applying some herbal calming gels.

[thuds]

Go ahead and spray on the herbal gel.

[Spike shouts, grunts, exclaims]

Enjoying your spa day?

[gags, spits]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is a special aloe mixed with carbonated pine tar.

It's made to soak your nails.

[gags]

Okay. Let's take a look at those nails as part of your pedicure,

[woman screaming]

[gags]

[device whizzing]

[chuckles in excitement]

Huh?

[groans]

Now, we'll start off with some aroma therapy

as you enjoy your mud bath.

[liquid bubbling]

Enjoy your soak, fellas.

[button clicks]

[liquid bubbling wildly]

[crackles]

A little help here!

[sizzling]

Looks like it's cracking cat.

[sniffs]

[gags]

[thuds, objects clattering]

Oh, no.

They're gonna miss out on the cheese fondue.

Oh, well.

[whizzes]

[thuds]

Tom! Stop right there.

Today, the hotel is going to be visited

by a very important person,

so be on your best behavior.

Or else... Do I make myself clear?

We are live at New York's Royal Gate Hotel.

Visiting today are the leading ambassador,

from Rosejamnesia and her husband.

With them, of course, is their charismatic cat, Monty.

Perhaps the most photographed feline in the world.

-[people speaking indistinctly] -[cameraman] Monty, look here!

-[man 1] That's it! -[man 2] Right here!

[man chuckles] Yeah, that's it.

All right, all right. That's enough photos for now.

Lord Monty is late for his banquet.

Hurray... Another banquet.

I'm so over these.

Tom, that's for VIPs!

Get it together, cat.

[chews]

[objects clattering]

[thuds]

[thuds]

Excuse me, old sport.

The name is Montague, Monty for short.

I've a bit of a proposition for you.

You see, I've grown rather wary of my opulent existence...

being followed by cameras,

attending lavish parties,

eating huge banquets of endless food.

So I thought since you and I look so similar,

perhaps we could try a little switch.

I pretend to be you and you can pose as me.

How's that for a deal, hm?

Wonderful! Here, put on my collar.

Perfect. Looking good, Monty.

Good luck and don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Ah, there you are, Monty! Come!

You have duties to attend.

-[man 1] Over here, Monty! -[man 2] Over here, Monty!

-[man 3] Right-- Right here! -[man 4] Pose for us, Monty!

[people speaking indistinctly]

[man 1] Hey, Monty, what's your favorite--

[man 2] One more, please.

One more!

Oh... No more cameras, no press, no politics.

I feel as light as a feather.

Tom, get off the furniture.

You're getting cat hair everywhere.

Do it again and you'll be out on the street.

[thuds]

That didn't go well.

Maybe there's more to this "lobby-cat" thing than I knew.

If I'm to blend in, I better get some tips from the locals.

I say, you're that mouse, aren't you?

Can you teach me how to slum it like one of these lobby cats?

Is this how much cheese Tom really brings you?

[camera shutter clicking]

[slurping]

[swishing]

[clicks on]

[thuds]

To world peace.

[spits]

Monty, that was hand soap!

Never before have we enjoyed such a beneficial relationship between both nations.

We thank this city for welcoming us

and look forward to your ambassador

visiting our home.

Ugh. This lobby-cat life is exhausting.

I think I need to squeeze in a quick nap in this sandbox over here.

He does what in this?

[man] Look here! Look here!

-[man 1] Right here! -[man 2] Come on, give us a smile.

[people speaking indistinctly]

[man] Monty!

-[screams] -Oh, dear.

[whizzing past]

[screeching]

It has been truly an honor to host you, Madam Ambassador.

I'm sorry Monty didn't seem to enjoy the visit.

You look as miserable as I do.

How about we switcheroo our little switcheroo

and get back to our regular lives, hm?

Ooh.

Monty, there you are. It's time to go home.

[cage rattles]

They're taking Tom instead of me!

Please, you have to help me get home.

Poor Monty. I've never seen him like this before.

Must be the jetlag.

[shouts] Mouse!

Well, Tom, I guess we learned

the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

[clangs]

[Monty exclaims] Monty's back, baby!

[squealing]

Uncle Jerry!

We've come to give you surprise visit.

We came all the way from our home in Bavaria.

We want you to show us all the amazing

and wonderful sights of New York City!

We want to see it all!

The palm trees, the Washington Monument--

The Eiffel Tower.

Dummkopf! The Eiffel Tower isn't in New York City. It's in Canada.

That's not what it says in the guide book.

[squealing]

[screams]

[gasps]

This must be the Empire State Building.

Guys, look, this must be the Statue of Liberty lady.

Look at her

talking on her cell phone of freedom.

What a country.

And look over here.

This must be the Madison Square Garden.

How do they play basketball with a tree in the way?

Wait a minute,

you mean this is just the lobby of the hotel?

Before we see more city,

my belly is hungry for the cheeses.

I would also like to eat the cheeses.

There is so much to see here that I can't stay put.

Ja, we should--

Hey, look, isn't that Hans the Katzen?

What is Hans, our friendly Katzen doing here?

He must have traveled from our village.

He is our best friend!

Let's go say hello.

We have to waken our friend Hans

with the tradition of the Bavarian wakeup call!

[clangs]

[clanging]

Guten Tag, Hans.

Und, now we say "hello" by giving you the tradition Bavarian whisker pull.

[shouts]

That is the scream of joy, ja?

You know, I don't think this is Hans.

-He looks very angry. -Ja, I think you're right.

Our Hans is much friendlier.

This Katzen looks like he just found sauerkraut in his strudel.

[screams]

[birds singing]

Hey! Bavarian Brat!

They look a little undernourished.

When in Rome.

Dummkopf! That's in Canada, too.

[screams]

[mice squealing]

Guten Tag, Katzen!

Maybe you would like to join us in our swim time.

Ja, Katzen, the water is warm.

Und delicious.

Look! The Katzen is trying to play tag.

We play a different game back home.

We call it "Cover the Katzen in mustard."

Ja, und ketchup and relish, too.

Yay! We are hotdog rolling!

[thuds]

It's true what they say about America.

The streets are paved with cheese.

Actually, I think all the cheese comes from this fancy cheese shop.

Let's go in!

[horn blaring]

Forget the Big Apple,

they should call this city "The Big Cheese."

Well, what do we got here?

Looks like old Lightnin' is about to have an early dinner.

[slams]

These mice are mine. Now, step off.

[thuds]

Wow, is this a cheese shop or Katison Square Garden?

[screams]

Told you these mice were mine.

It's time to go already?

[saying goodbye in German]

[both gulp]

It's been a lot of fun, Uncle Jerry.

We will come back with more cousins.

[chuckles softly]

[all saying goodbye in German]
