Good morning, my furry fellows!

Thank you for joining me

for Traditional Foods Day.


We celebrate by sharing food

from different countries around the world!

I cooked up some tasty paella from Spain.
I have some delicious rice from China.

And I brought a traditional pudding

from Planet Meow.

And the Buffycats brought…
I thought I heard some ratty cats meowing.

Yes, Bertie! Look at all these cats

ready to be trapped!

[chuckles]

Go, Brutus! Go catch 'em all!

I'll block their way out here.


Brutus and Bertie, the cat catchers!

We gotta help all the cats!


It's time for an energy boost with…

Granny Pina's Noodles!

Come on, Buffycats! Action time!
Enjoy your Buffy-meal, friends!
[giggles]

-[music distorts]

-Wait… what's wrong?


The noodles aren't working, Pilou.

I don't feel the usual energy boost.

How cute! We'll catch you first.

The noodles always give us energy!

[sighs] I'll try to stop them.

[grunts]
[chuckles] What were you trying to do?
[all meow]
[sniggers]

-Huh? [grunts]

-[grunts]

[both] Hey! Who turned off the lights?!

Run, my furry fellows!

We'll delay our party until tonight!

[Bertie and Brutus grunt and strain]
Oh, no! They all ran away!

Yeah. But sooner or later,

they'll be back to finish their food.


And we'll be here waiting for them!

[chuckles, slurps]


-[Meatball grunts, strains]

-Hey, Buffycats, did you see that?


It's weird that Granny's noodles

didn't work.


Yes, Lampo. They tasted good,

but there was something different.

[Granny Pina] No, no, and no!

-[whispers] Hello, Sushi.

-[whispers] Hi, Buffycats.

Is Traditional Foods Day over already?

[whispers] Yeah, because of Brutus

and Bertie, the cat catchers.


But tonight we'd like to go back

and bring some more of Granny's noodles.


[Granny Pina] There's something wrong

with my ragu sauce!

There's something missing.

[whispers] Sushi, do you know

anything about this?

Hello, kitties!

Do you like my spare glasses?

I sent my usual pair out to be fixed.


Anyway, even with these

I can see perfectly!


-Have a treat, Meatball!

-[Meatball muffled]

Not that it matters.

I can put together the ingredients

for my ragu with my eyes closed.

But where is that secret ingredient?
[thud]
Uh…
Hmm!
[grunts]

Tomato, celery, onion and carrot,

minced meat.


-[spits]

-The ingredients seem to be right.


Yuck!

Good thing there are no tennis ba*ls!

But then… what's missing?

Granny Pina mentioned

a secret ingredient,

and she can't find it without her glasses.
I've got a Buffy-brainstorm!

We'll find Granny Pina's

secret ingredient!

Hmm. But how?
We just have to get Granny's recipe book.
[grunts]
Whoa! Ha!
That was easy.
Ooh. Oh.

-[grunts]

-[thud]

Ooh! Are you OK, Lampo?
[groans] Yes, Milady!

OK, now we just have to find the recipe

for noodles with ragu.

Uh… here it is!

The secret ingredient

in the ragu sauce is…

[Buffycats] Is…?!
…written on this piece of paper.
Huh? A heart?!

Does this mean that Granny Pina cooks…

with love?

I think it's a clue.
If Granny left this note here,

it means that the secret ingredient

is inside something…

[Buffycats] …heart-shaped!
Good call, Sushi.

OK, Buffycats!

Let's split up so we can search faster!


I'll stay here in the kitchen

in case Granny comes back.

Hmm… Where could it be?
[bird tweets]

[Pilou] Hi, little birdie!

Did you see something heart-shaped?


[gasps] What a nice little box!

Maybe the secret ingredient is in here!

[bird tweets]
That's Granny Pina's box!
I gotta chase that bird!
[bird tweets]

Hmm.

Here's where Granny grows her veggies.


Maybe the secret ingredient

is here somewhere.

[bird tweets]
[bird makes frightened noise]
What's this?
[panting] It was… in Granny Pina's room.
Wow! Maybe it's inside.
[A.I.D.A. beeps]

Dirt! Garbage! Into the trash!

A.I.D.A.! Stop!

Granny's robot cat is obsessed

with anything left on the ground.

Let's follow her, quick!
Something heart-shaped. Mm…
Ah! There's something heart-shaped.
Milady! [pants] We have to stop A.I.D.A.!

I hope Granny stored some leftovers

here in the attic.

There's nothing here but…
…lots of dust.
[sneezes]
[Meatball grunts]

Got it! Don't worry, A.I.D.A.,

we'll put this little box in its place!

Whoa!

-Sushi! We found it!

-[gasps]


But, Lampo, Granny wouldn't

keep the secret ingredient in there.

That's where she keeps her face powder.

-Aw. You're right, Sushi.

-Gah!

Oh, no! Granny's face powder makes me…
[sneezes]
[thud]
[rattling]

[gasps] Hold the cabinet!

We don't want anything to break!


Buffycats, look.

Granny keeps some pretty jars up there.

[gasp] One of them's got a heart on it!
I'll get it!
[grunts]
[gasps, grunts]
[grunts]
That was easy.

-[rattling]

-Oh!

Oh…

-[thud]

-[grunts]

[groans]

Buffycats, we got it!

The secret ingredient is in here.


How exciting!

Come on, let's open it and see what it is!

That wouldn't be fair, Meatball.

Lampo's right.

The secret ingredient must remain secret.

Otherwise it wouldn't be secret anymore.

And that's how it will remain,

for all Buffycats.

There's only one thing left to do.
[all meowing]

What's up, kitties?

I was just picking up my fixed glasses.

Oh, I see. You poor kitties are hungry.
If I could just find…
Oh, that's where my secret ingredient was!
Now I can make my delicious ragu sauce.

I can't wait to let our furry fellows

taste the noodles.

[all yell]

Here you are again, ratty cats!

Time to finish this in our cages!


Then we're gonna eat

all your yummy food, too!

Hmm.
[giggles]
[both] Aw! You're so sweet!

[whispers] Hurry, my furry fellows!

This won't last long.


Then Granny Pina's noodles

will save us!

-[both grunt]

Two cat catchers in a cage!
[Buffycats cheer, laugh]

We managed to scare Brutus and Bertie away

with Granny Pina's noodles.


[laughs] They gave us a real boost

this time!


Too bad we weren't able

to let our friends taste them.


Buffycats,

you saved Traditional Foods Day!


Neko is right! You were pawesome!

How can we ever thank you?

Actually, Piperita, I know a way.

Let's start our party right away

and eat all these yummy delicacies!

[slurps] Mm!

Right, Meatball!

Enjoy your meal, my furry fellows!

[cheering, laughter]
