Original Air Date: 2003
Directed by: Ryuji Masuda
Synopsis: One of a series of CGI short films about Mr. Stain, a man who lives in Junk Alley with an odd collection of characters.
Cartoon Cats: In this episode, Mr. Stain has a pair of binoculars. He spots his friend Palvan, a large yellow cat who wears a pink sweater, acting suspiciously and carrying a fishbone.
Mr. Stain watches Palvan and sees him take the fish to an adorable Lost Kitten in a box.
Later Palvan finds Mr. Stain eating donuts. When Mr. Stain offers Palvan one of the treats, Palvan almost eats it, then changes his mind and takes it away.
Realizing Palvan is taking the donut to the kitten, Mr. Stain gathers up the rest and follows. On the way he spots a Lost Cat poster with a picture of the kitten offering a fifty thousand dollar reward!
Palvan is giving Lost Kitten the donut when a lizard shows up and takes a piece.
Making a scary face, Palvan causes the lizard to faint.
Mr. Stain tries to show Palvan the poster but he has no interest. He is in love with the kitten and the kitten loves him.
Kitty Carnage Warning! Unfortunately as Mr. Stain watches, a limousine pulls up and there is the sound of a struggle. The limo speeds off and Palvan has been beaten up plus Lost Kitten is gone. Later Mr. Stain lets Palvan use the binoculars to see Lost Kitten back home with his siblings.
Lost Kitten pulls off the scary face Palvan used to make his siblings faint.
Palvan walks away, tears in his eyes.
Final Mewsings: The love of a kitten is priceless.
