You better be a good pussy cat for pet day, Thomas.

croak

Now behave.

Or we won't win the gold star.

Why, hello there. It's awfully nice to meet you.

My name is Bartholomew J. Bunny.

I bet you can't guess what the "J" stands for.

I'll give you a hint.

It's Jerald, although "Jerald"

is usually spelled with a "G."

I was named by my mama.

She has the most outrageous sense of humor.

Maybe that's where I get my dynamic personality.

Anyhoo, my mama says we're a shoo-in for the gold star.

Oh, Bobby, he's adorable.

(Bartholomew) 'Once I get in front of the class'

and dazzle them with my awesome star power

the top prize will be all me-o mine-o.

'But I wouldn't feel too bad if I were you.'

'I'm sure you're a very nice kitty.'

[crash]

Yaah! Oh-oh-oh!

Ooh!

Behave yourself.

You show that mouse you're sorry.

'Go on.'

Mwah!

Mw-w-w-a-a-hh!

Spit him out!

[Tom coughs]

If we don't win that gold star

I'm taking you back to the pound.

Oh, yes, mama.

These carrots are de-e-elightful.

Now you sit still and be nice to these other pets.

What's that in your hand?

You better stay right with me. We're next!

Class, this is my pet cat Thomas.

He's a very special kitty.

Waah!

I mean to say, he's, um, very talented.

You may not be the nicest cat

but you did win the gold star for being the best dancer.

'Ooh! Ow! Ow!'

Look, Thomas.

It's a letter from the society

of Feline Fancifiers.

'You've been accepted for the annual competition.'

Yes, you.

If you win, you'll be a cat of class and distinction.

You better get ready.

This could make all

your dreams come true.

Do you think it's fair that

such a villain's dream should come true?

Then justice shall prevail.

(male announcer) 'Welcome to the 103rd annual'

'society of Feline Fancifiers cat show.'

'I'm your host Buster Grange, here with the beautiful...'

(Miriam) 'Miriam Fitzpatrick Charlesworth.'

(Buster) 'Let's go to the center ring'

'where tiger is finishing his run in the agility competition'

'Oh! And he sticks his landing.'

[applause and cheering]

(Buster) 'Ooh-ho-ho, it's a double-stick landing.'

'Who's the lucky dope that gets to follow that?'

(Miriam) 'Tom, who is listed as an alleycatus ignoramus.'

(Buster) 'Whatever the breed, he's got the speed.'

'Tom clears the first hurdle, and the second.'

Aah!

(Buster) 'Whoa! He cleared the tar pit!'

'But will he survive the mechanical alligators?'

(Miriam) 'Those aren't alligators, Buster.'

'They're dragons.'

Aa-a-a-h-h-h!

(Buster) 'Let's see how the judges score Tom's run.'

'A perfect 10.'

(Miriam) 'What a magnificent performance!'

'Especially considering the extreme'

'difficulty of the course.'

Sorry.

[instrumental music]

(Buster) 'Let's call Tom to the center ring'

'for the next event. The talent competition.'

He he he!

(Miriam) 'Tom will be performing a selection'

'from my favorite clown-based opera, "Pagliacci."'

(Miriam) 'Ooh! It's a yellow-bellied sapsucker.'

[gasps] 'And a lily-livered thrush.'

(Buster) 'I don't say this often, but bravissimo.'

(Miriam) 'And now the big finish.'

(Buster) 'Wow! A green-spotted splatterer.'

(Miriam) 'Oh, I'm literally speechless.'

[applause and cheering]

Pardon moi, monsieur pussy cat.

I have come all the way from Paris

to prepare you for the beauty competition.

I mean no offense, monsieur.

'But surely, your eyebrows must be of great concern.'

[shudders]

Not to worry. I have just the thing.

Piping hot wax made by Parisian bees.

Nothing but the best.

Are you ready? On three.

One, two...

...three.

Cosmetics to the rescue.

You will be my greatest work of art.

Something is missing.

I know.

What you need is the perfect hairdo.

Magnifique.

(Buster) 'Calling Tom for the beauty competition.'

(Miriam) 'My, that's quite a daring appearance.'

'Another 10. Unbelievable.'

(Buster) 'This judge has really taken a shine to Tom.'

But why?

(Miriam) 'I suppose he's just lucky.'

'Tom has a generous lead'

'but he can't rest on his laurels yet.'

(Buster) 'It all comes down to this.'

'The judge is awaiting Tom's arrival.'

(Miriam) 'As are we all.'

(Buster) 'All contestants'

'prepare for the final judging.'

(Miriam) 'Here comes Tom, and he...'

'Oh! Oh, dear!'

'Oh, dear me!'

[applause and cheering]

Yaah!

(Miriam) 'The judge isn't going to appreciate that.'

'Disqualified.'

(Buster) 'But wait. A winner has been declared.'

(Miriam) 'It's a last-minute entry in the micro cat category.'

'No doubt about it, these two are the best...'

(Miriam) 'And cutest.'

(Buster) 'Kittens in the show.'

'Goodnight, everybody.'

Mrs. Two Shoes, this is a wonderful party.

Yes. These finger sandwiches are simply divine.

Blech!

'And such delicious cheese.'

Ahh.

Grr!

Aah!

- Thomas! - Oh.

He reminds me of my Desmond.

'Uncivil, rambunctious, disobedient.'

'That was until he was tamed by Casper Lombardo.'

Casper Lombardo?

Si. The cat whisperer.

Now Desmond is my little angel.

Grrr!

Hmm, maybe I should give the cat whisperer a call.

ding dong

Hello. I am Casper Lombardo, the cat whisperer.

Take me to your very poorly behaved pussy cat.

He is projecting lazy energy.

And he's fat... and rude.

- Give him a command. - Alright.

'Thomas, out of bed.'

Be dominant. Show him you are the kitty leader.

Gzzt!

Oh, my. What did you do?

(Casper) 'I did nothing to hurt him.'

'You see, the sudden surprise compels pets to obey.'

We will now begin to redirect your negative conduct.

'Remember that a good pet maintains'

'his composure with elegance.'

burp

Hssk!

Let's start with this book.

[instrumental music]

Good. Now to increase the difficulty.

Excellent. Let's add this and that.

And this and that and this.

Hmm, not quite challenging enough yet.

Oh, si.

Perfecto.

[instrumental music]

You're wonderful, Casper.

It's all about creating calm leadership energy.

[roars]

[instrumental music]

Aah!

[crash]

[crash]

Tsk!

I will now attach your leash to this large, angry dog.

'This is how you will learn peaceful pack mentality.'

No aggression in the pack. Tssk.

You two must find a way to create trust

on this friendship walk.

Remember, trust keeps the pack strong.

you will bring her a delicious tray of treats

'no matter where she is in the house.'

Mrs. Two Shoes, I can see that Thomas is a changed cat.

(Mrs. Two Shoes) 'The cat whisperer did a marvelous job.'

All it takes is calm, assertive leadership.

[clatters]

(Mrs. Two Shoes) 'Thomas, fetch the main course.'

Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.

'What is that silly cat wearing?'

'Ha ha ha!'

I hope you like it.

The man at the market told me it was very fresh.

Aah!

Everyone remain positive.

He's attacking your negative energy.

Oh! Help!

Aah!

'Get that thing away from me! Aah!'

Tom, get back in there and be actively submissive.

Grrr.

You must learn to creatively

channel your negative inclinations.

Grr!

Don't make me assert my dominance.

- Dzzk! - Aah!

I will not project fear.

- Dzzk! - Aah! Mommy!

I am the pack leader!

- Dzzt! - Creative solutions!

- Dzzk! - I give up! Ayudame!
