[suspenseful music]
[Buffycats playing music]

Ha! It's been a pawesome rehearsal,

Buffycats.

We're ready for the Cat Show.

Yeah, Lampo. Now we just need someone

to present the show, a host cat.

[grunts]
Well, maybe I'm not the cat for the job.
So, how can we find one?

[Charlie, dramatically] My furry fellows!

You're about to witness a pawesome show!

Just for you, today,

Directly from their world tour,

the Boom Boom Steppers!

Ha-ha!
That host cat is just what we need.
Anyone in the audience want to dance?
Here's a volunteer!

-Great!

-No!

[Lampo wails]
Oh! Whoa!
Whoa!
Thank you all, ladies and gentlecats.
The show is over, but…
Keep it in your heart, always.
Yeah, he's really the cat we need!

Let's ask him if he'd like

to host the Cat Show.

[all] Uh-huh.
Of course! My name is Charlie the Cat
and I was born to be… your host cat!
Huh? Ah!
What? No more words?
Then let me hear some noise instead.
[cheering]
Ready for a tongue-twister?

[clears throat]

Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi!

Okay, Charlie the Cat. Alright.
Cat catchers can't catch caught cats

cos a cat catcher caught

catching cats couldn't catch!

We think you're perfect, Charlie the Cat.
Pawesome. Where will your show take place?
Right there, on that stage.

Charlie the Cat, how about

trying to host on stage?

Ooh. Uh…
Charlie the Cat?
You don't like our stage, Charlie the Cat?
This stage is super duper pawesome, Pilou.
And the show will be…

su… [hiccups]

per… [hiccups]

[all] Watch out, Charlie the Cat!
[gibbers]

-[Buffycats gasp]

-[Charlie groans]

I'm sorry, Buffycats. [hiccups]
[groans] I can't host the show.
But why? It's just a case of the hiccups.
We saw you and you're really great.

The problem is, whenever I'm on stage,

I get scared stiff.

And the… [hiccups]
[groans] hiccups.
[hiccups]
And it's never gonna stop.
[hiccupping]
Let's get him, Buffycats!
[hiccups]
Oh, no!
[hiccups]
Oh, my whiskers!

With his hiccups Charlie the Cat

is gonna make a big mess

inside Granny Pina's house.
[groans]
[hiccups]
Huh? What's that sound?
Is it coming from the faucet?

-Really annoying…

-[hiccups]

I'm sorry! [hiccups]

[Granny Pina] I'll handle this.

I'll fix it in no time.

I can't stop! [hiccups]

Charlie the Cat, there's a way

to stop your hiccups.

Hold your breath, then follow us.
[inhales deeply]
Ha! That's it.
I also have to be a plumber in this house.

-[panicked humming]

-Oh!

[exhales]

Thanks, Buffycats.

By holding my breath, my hiccups…

[hiccups]
stopped! [groans] Oh no!
Hold your breath as long as you can.
[inhales, gulps]
[hiccups]
It didn't work!

We have to find another way

to stop his hiccups.


Ha! Charlie the Cat,

try drinking something.

[gulps]

Uh, Meatball…

what did you make him drink?


The super-duper crazy triple carbonated

orange soda, Lampo. Why?

[hiccups] Oh, no, no, no!
Whoa! [hiccups]
That's why!

Oh my whiskers! Charlie the Cat

has turned into a bouncing ball.

[they yell]
Charlie the Cat is bouncing away.
He's too quick. We can't stop him!
We just need the right snack.
Granny Pina's noodles!

Make way!
Let's bounce on the balloons to reach him.
Charlie the Cat is over there!
[hiccups]
Uh-oh! [hiccups]
Gotta bounce!

-[doorbell rings]

-[hiccups] Ah! Sorry.

Who rang? Hm!

Let's copy Charlie the Cat, Buffycats.

But make sure not to ring the doorbell.

Whoa!
Huh? Who rang again?
Meatball!
I didn't do it on purpose, Milady.
Charlie the Cat, you need to deflate!
Get the air out of your stomach!
But how… [hiccups] do I do that?
Just try to sneeze it out… like this.
Ah! [sneezes]
[yells]
Oh no! Where did Charlie the Cat go now?

We'll find out, Pilou.

My whiskers are telling us…

[crackling]
He's inside the abandoned house.
[yells]
[thud, clattering]
Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi!
[all] Charlie the Cat!

Check, check. Meow, meow, hi, hi,

woof, woof, bark, one-two, one-two.

My hiccups are gone!

Now I'll just get down from this lamp

and land on…

this kind of…
stage!
[hiccups] Oh no!
[Charlie hiccups]

I've got a Buffy-brainstorm

to stop his hiccups. We'll scare him.

Look where we are.
Whisper, the ghost cat, lives here.
Let's give him a shout.
[all shout] Whisper!
Why are you shouting, Buffycats?
Charlie the Cat, behind you.
There's a ghost cat!
Huh?
[straining]
It's too windy!
An invisible ghost cat!
[laughs]
That was pretty funny.
Thank you, my pawesome Buffycats!

Laughing stopped my hiccups

and I can finally get up on a…

stage!
[hiccups]

I am [hiccup] really [hiccup]

scaredy-scared when I'm on stage.

[hiccups]

Of course! We tried to solve

the wrong Buffy-problem.


It's not Charlie the Cat's hiccups

causing this,

it's his stage fright.
So, we can't put him on stage?
I've got a better Buffy-brainstorm!

It happens to us before every concert too,

isn't that right, Buffycats?


Yes, Milady. Before we play on stage,

we're always a bit scaredy scared.

Mm-hm!
[hiccups, cries]
So, how does it go away?

We have a secret.

We play with magical instruments.

Oh? Really?
Mm-hm.
Pawesome.
But, I… I don't have a magic instrument.

You don't have to play,

you have to host the show.

So, to do that…

Charlie the Cat,

on behalf of the whole band,

I present the Buffycats microphone.

It's magical. To make it work,

you have to believe in yourself.

And your stage fright will disappear.
You're right! It's already gone.
I am ready.

-With your magic microphone I can do it.

-[they laugh]

Welcome to…
the extra super duper amazing cat show!
Are you ready?
[cheering]

Let's start with our favorite band…

the Buffycats!

Wah!

You know what? I figured out something.

This microphone is not magic.

Neither are your instruments.
Yes… you're right.

It was a little white lie, Charlie,

but for a good cause.

Are you angry with us now?

Not at all. I want to thank you,

my pawesome Buffycats.


The Buffycats made me realize that

the real magic is believing in yourself.

That's the only way to beat your fears.
[all] And your hiccups.

[audience chant] Charlie the Cat.

Charlie the Cat.


Remember. Not even hiccups

can stop your talent from shining.

[audience] Charlie the Cat!
