Pickles crept into the abandoned house, careful not to make a sound. He ate some Frisky Bitz, and when he felt satisfied with his meal, he sat in a cardboard box. What a peaceful day! No other cat was around, and Pickles was glad!

Suddenly, Turk darted into the house and pushed Pickles out of the box!

"Meow!" Cried Pickles, angrily. Turks chuckled in a low mew and stuck his tongue out at Pickles.

Pickles sighed. He knew he didn't had any power, nor courage, to fight Turks for his spot in the cardboard box. If only he was stronger! Then he'd be able to sleep peacefully in a box without any other cat bugging him.

Pickles, losing his appetite for boxes and toys, sighed and padded away from the house and backyard.

The day felt lazy. The sunlight beamed with warm rays while the birds sung cheerful songs. Pickles walked across the street. It was such a good day to sleep in a box! Pickles moped until he reached a western-themed house.

Well, thought Pickles, it wouldn't hurt to try this house.

Pickles walked into the backyard of the western house, only to see it was filled with other cats!

"Meoww." Came a deep, deep voice near a plate of sashimi. It was Tubbs! Pickles's stomach grumbled for some yummy fish.

"Mew!" Spoke Pickles to the fat cat.

Tubbs meowed angrily and put the whole plate into his mouth. Clearly Tubbs was not the sort of cat to share his food.

Pickles frowned and mewed in sadness.

Guy Furry, the amazing cat chef, felt bad for Pickles. He knew the small kitten could barely protect himself from even a fly.

So, the chef whipped up a kitty-milkshake for Pickles.

"Me-ow~." Guy Furry smiled. He prided himself on his amazing food skills.

Pickles saw what Guy Furry made just for him. He was moved to tears at Guy Furry's kindness!

Pickles would've loved the tasty treat, if only Princess didn't drink it first! Apparently she thought Guy Furry made it for her.

Pickles cried. What a bad day! He ran away from the western house filled with self-centered sadness.

Into an alley Pickles went, feeling so alone and weak.

Guy Furry did not forget about Pickles. The master chef never forgets an unsatisfied customer! The cat marched up into the alley holding a tall kitty-milkshake.

"MEOW~." Guy Furry set the milkshake towards the sad kitten.

"Meow?" Asked Pickles.

"Meow." Replied Guy Furry.

Pickles drank the milkshake. Yummy!

Then, Turk bounded into the alley. Pickles was afraid Turk was about to steal his precious milkshake, but instead, Turk looked sorry.

"Me...owwwe..." Turk said to Pickles. He scooted a box towards Pickles and bowed his head.

"Meow!" Pickles forgave Turk for pushing Pickles out of the box earlier that day.

In fact, Pickles invited Turk to have some of the delicious milkshake Guy Furry made. Turk was very happy for Pickles's kindness!

Soon, the sun was setting. For Pickles, the day started out bad, but soon it ended great! He even made a new friend!
