mother a little while ago

and she told me what a wonderful kitten

you are

she did

yes why didn't you just tell me what you

were doing

i was going to mama but i thought you'd

still be mad

well i was angry that you broke a

promise

but really you didn't have to break a

promise at all you could have come to me

and told me what was happening with fan

and we could have worked something out

so next time will you do that yes mama

i will i promise

[Music]

my jewelry it's been stolen

[Music]

the burglar he's stolen again just about

everyone in the village has had

something stolen but why

can't this this burglar be stopped this

burglar creeps about at night while good

people sleep

he's as sneaky as a cat sneaky as a cat

that's bad he must be stopped whoa

is the burglar a cat no they said it was

a burglar who is sneaky like a cat

but cats aren't really sneaky are we

if a burglar is bad and they say the

burglar is like a cat

then are we bad and sneaky well

cats are quiet cats climb well cats get

into places others can't and people

don't know that they are there

those are a cat's talents and those are

some of the same things burglars do

but for a cat those aren't bad things

you see it depends how a cat uses these

born talents what do you mean when you

creep around quietly are you trying to

hurt anyone

of course not but burglars do it to take

things from other people

and this is very bad that's the

difference

so we're not bad of course not

now it's late so everyone back to bed

[Music]

oh no

[Music]

gotcha

[Music]

this villager tells me that something

terrible has happened

the burglar has stolen the jewel from

the statue of your ancestor

this is terrible horrible

dreadful we must stop this

burglar last night the burglar stole the

jewel out of the statue of the

magistrate's great great great great

grandfather

the magistrate is very very upset we're

writing a warning for all the villagers

to be on guard the magistrate wants

everyone to be on the lookout for

anything suspicious i think the

magistrate's coming

i will not feel happy again my cherry

blossom

ever not until the jew from the statue

of my most esteemed great

great great great grandfather is found

there there my dear we will catch that

burglar even though he's

a sneaky as a cat

i don't like thai try saying the burglar

was sneaky like a cat

yeah and she looked right at us as she

said it

maybe to catch such a sneaky crook they

need someone who has the same talent as

a burglar

but who uses them in a good way but who

could do that

hmm you mean us

mama and baba said it's not our cat

talents that make us good or bad

it's what we do with them and if

everyone thinks we're sneaky

well we could probably be way more

sneaky than a human

hey there's foo food

you left behind the statue of the

magistrate's great-great-great-great

grandfather

yeah well did you see anything

suspicious last night

the jewel from the statue is missing the

jewel from the statue isn't missing

it's safe with some guy i saw the guy

who took it

he wasn't very good at it he was kind of

clumsy i had to help him or he would

have lost it

that guy was a burglar

oh no the burglar i helped him steal the

jewel

i've never seen anyone steal before how

would i know it's not your fault

fufu and don't worry because we're gonna

try and catch him

can i help yeah we're looking for clues

that might help us find the burglar

do you remember anything special or

different about him

i didn't want to get too close to him to

see anything special

because he really smell like old fish

it's not like fish huh that's a clue a

good clue

okay we want to sneak onto the dock

without being seen

follow me

no one even saw us this will be our

stakeout to watch for the burglar who

smells like fish

[Music]

he's not like fish he's the burglar

no this must be the burglar he smells

like fish

or maybe that guy's the burglar everyone

down here at the dock smells like fish

they're all burglars no they're all

fishermen

it's all my fault no fufu you didn't

know

we could capture him if we only knew

where he was going to strike next

but the reader said that the burglar has

already stolen from all the houses in

the village

yeah all the houses except

the magistrates palace exactly

and we'll be ready for him yeah we'll

catch

him except well he's certainly

bigger than us why we'll catch him by um

oh i know

i'll take first look out here then i'll

wake up sagua when i get really tired

you can watch the other side of the

house from the front gate

let's get ready

no bug i can steal my jewelry if i hide

it

don't worry my delicate peach i have

told the cook

and the reader of the rules to be alert

and i will be bravely sitting here

waiting every night

until this burglar is captured i will

put it in here

just to be safe

[Music]
