Ha! Caught ya! Huh?

Better watch out, Grandpa Max.

I think you're actually becoming a cat! [ Laughs ]

Okay. I'll admit it.

The costume may come off a little silly,

but once you get suited up,

it's pretty fun to just give over to your feline side.

Fun if you like being really weird. [ Laughs ]

Weird is coming to Top Tail not dressed as a cat.

[ Laughs ]

Fake cat Gwen just licked her fake paw!

Oh, don't let him give you paws, Gwen!

You've got to stay unfazed and fierce

for the big obstacle course agility competition!

Speaking of which, looks like they're ready

to open up the exhibit hall.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

This place is awesome!

I don't know if I'd call it awesome.

I mean, who loves cats so much they're buying cat clothing?

Hello? I wear a cat shirt, like, almost every day, remember?

Huh, I always thought that was a beetle.

"World's Tallest Scratching Post?"

The weird just keeps getting weirder.

Whoa, what's this about?

This is where your cousin is going to

dominate the cat-petition!

The First Annual Top Tail Human Cat Obstacle Course!

Welcome, one and all pussycat purveyors

and feline enthusiasts!

Steve: Uh, Bill, contestants will risk one of their

nine lives to showcase their cat skills to conquer...

The Catwalk of Fear!

The Cardboard Scratcher Mountain of Mayhem!

And the Yarn Balls of Doom!

Human obstacle course? I'm in!

Sorry, cuz, I don't think

you fit the "weird requirements" for this one,

but maybe I'll let you hold my trophy when I win.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Laughter ]

Just be the most cat.

And with the exception of the small contestant in blue,

these competitors look ferocious!

Steve: Well, throw me a yarn ball and call me Fluffy.

This competition is underway!

Ben, over here!

I snagged us some purr-fect seats!

[ Chuckles ] Mm.

First up, the Sphynx Warrior Cat!

I may be no expert, Bill,

but I'm % certain he will take the win.

Well, not the first time I've been wrong.

And not the last.

Well, it looks like Lady Leopard has made it to the yarn balls!

[ Splash ]

Looks like that leopard leotard was all slip and no grip!

Well, here comes the tough-toothed Sabre-Cat

on the spin-y roll-y thingies!

And down he goes!

Ha-ha, take a bath, Sabre Kitty!

These cats are weak sauce. I should be out there.

Bill: Next up is Mr. Muscle Cat scaling the Cat Climb!

Ooh! So far, not a single furry friend

has made it anywhere near the finish line!

Maybe this course is just too much to lick!

Ah, don't speak too soon, Bill.

There's still one contestant in the running,

although I'm not sure such a tiny cat

stands a chance against this brutal course.

Whoo! Go get 'em, Gwen!

Those other chuckleheads didn't even get close!

I bet you wish you had a cat costume

right about now, huh, Ben?

Who needs a costume? I have aliens.

Aliens aren't cats.

Bill: Well, Lil' Blue Paw may be small,

but she's certainly got her game face on!

I'm not so sure how her face

can help her through this ruthless course, Bill.

It's a figure of speech, Steve!

And the run begins in three...

Be the most cat.

Two...

Well, hello there, new guy!

One... I do like fur,

but eating with claws is very frustrating to...

You! Go!

-What? -Ha-ha!

What?

Huh?

Mice!

[ Crowd gasps, screams ]

Bill: Mouse infestation?

Everyone stay calm.

Cats chase mice, not the other way around.

[ Roars ]

♪♪

Here comes Rath!

Aah! What is that creature?!

Who cares? There's a mouse on the loose!

A Mouse? Aah!

Ben, is this a new alien?

[ Snarls ] Let me tell you something, G-pa Max!

Rath never wanted to go to this kitty con in the first place!

But since Rath is here, oh, yeah!

You better get out your pens and papers

'cause Rath is gonna take that obstacle course to school!

[ Squeaking ]

Ben?

Rath wants that mouse!

Ben, what are you doing?

Rath isn't really sure,

but Rath is not gonna lose

a game of cat and mouse to a mouse!

[ Squeaking ]

[ Gasping, screaming ]

[ Grunts ] Sorry!

Rath is never sorry!

Calm down, people!

It's just a mouse and a giant rampaging tiger!

We're, uh, we're safe up here in this box, right, Bill?

Who knows? But while we were all distracted by rodents,

Little Miss Blue Paw has cleared the first four obstacles!

Incredible!

Now, that's the right kind of cat-titude!

Ha! She's moving on to the balance beam, Steve!

She is just flying through this course!

Meow, meow, meow, meow! I think she's just running,

Steve, no wings.

But what's this?

[ All shouting ]

Oh, looks like Little Blue has got a challenger!

♪♪

[ Snarling, grunting ]

Gah!

A-ha!

Pbht! Pbht!

-Aaah! -Looks like Tiger Man

is a little upset! -He is tearing up the course

and not in a good way!

Ben, look out! Gwen is still on the course!

Ah!

-Ooh! -Ooh!

Steve: Oh, baby, this little cat is a flying squirrel!

Bill: Such grace! She makes this look easy!

What exactly am I seeing?

You're seeing Little Blue make it to the final obstacle!

Aaaah! You can't escape Rath!

Whoa, whoa.

Aaah!

She's so close to the finish line, she can taste it!

Huh?

Aaah!

Unbelievable! Lil' Blue has done it!

Yeah! Yes! [ Laughs ]

Aaaah!

The first and only catter to finish the entire course!

[ Laughs ] Yeah! That's my grandkid.

[ Panting ]

What?

[ All screaming ]

Let me tell you something,

pool of water placed here for my safety!

If you think you can b*at Rath, you got another thing coming!

[ Grunting ]

Gwen! [ Laughs ] You were purr-fect!

Uh, thanks, but what was all that noise while I was --

Aaah!

Wait. Is that Ben?

Yep, new aliens galore. [ Chuckles ]

Hey, Ben, what you up to?

I don't know why, but I have to destroy this water!

Aaah! What am I doing?

Got a little carried away there, son.

More like a lot carried away!

[ Grunts ]

What was up with all that yelling and smashing?

I don't know. Just that alien was so --

so angry at everything!

I didn't feel like me.

[ Crowd screaming ]

Oh, yeah, that's my bad, but don't worry!

Slapback is on the scene!

How is Slapback going to help?!

Uh, easy. More hands means more help.

I can just throw my selves up to the top of the post!

Yeah, but each Slapback weighs, like, a billion pounds.

Well, then how about Shock Rock?

I'll make a plasma ramp for them to slide down.

But you'll also electrify the pole.

Okay. Well, then how about --

There's no more time for daydreaming.

Somebody is gonna get hurt.

Somebody? Anybody?

Aw, man. I know a cat problem

needs a cat solution, but I don't know

if I've got a handle on this Rath cat yet.

You do have a handle on him.

You just need to embrace your inner cat.

Yeah? Yeah!

Clear a path for the Rath!

I hope he can be more cat than that.

Do people actually buy this stuff?

-Yes, now hurry! -Righty, right, right.

Cats up a tree. Rath may not be a firefighter,

but he can still chop without an axe.

[ Grunting ]

Aah!

Come on down, baby!

Whoo! Yeah!

No! Cutting it down is too dangerous.

You have to embrace your inner cat, remember?

[ Groans ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

Inner cat, inner cat, inner cat.

Whoa! Help, tiger guy!

Name's Rath.

[ Panting ]

I'm losing my grip!

I don't want to land on my feet!

Gotcha. Hang on.

I think he's getting it.

Yeesh. You cat people are heavy.

[ Whimpering ]

Aah!

Gotcha, kitty, kitty, kitty. [ Groans ]

Safe and sound! Oh, yeah!

But how are you gonna climb down carrying all of us?

Who said anything about climbing?

I'm gonna get smashed!

Aaaaah!

Relax-ify.

True cats always land on their paws.

Now who wants a picture with The Rath Man?

I -- I can't deal with all this.

Way to go, Tiger.

See what I mean about the cat inside taking over?

Way to embrace your inner thing you thought was weird before.

I got to admit, at first,

your costume didn't look the part of a champion,

and we judged you.

As judges often do, Bill.

But you definitely proved yourself

a real Top Cat.

Yes!

Hey, what about me?

I saved all those cat people.

Oh, right.

Here, runner-up wins this special, uh, cat hat.

[ Laughs ] It looks good on you.

Sure, it does.

[ Squeaking ]

-What? -The mouse is back.

Gah! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off! Aah!

Guess a mouse problem really does need a cat solution.

Meow.

Here comes Rath!
