Chapter 3: Courage as a Cat
Poor, poor, poor Courage, the former pink dog now finds out through a puddle of water on the ground that he had just turned into a cat. Yet strangely, Courage was the only cat whom seemed to be able to not be hypnotized by Mister Mitten's hypnotic control on all the former humans and dogs alike.
"Hmm, I wonder what's going on, on why I'm not affected by this" said Courage as he peaked his head through some barrels in the alleyway he was hiding.
"Ah, sherif" said Mister Mittens as he was with his fellow cat police officers, "have you found that former pink stupid dog?"
"Not yet sure" replied the sherif, "but we have already placed out an award for his capture, for some reason when you zapped him with that cat zapper of yours, he was not affected at all by your mind control."
"Is that so?" asked Mister Mittens, "I can't allow anyone of my former dog enemies as cats to act as independent cats. They may overthrow me as ruler of Nowhere, along with also preventing my eventual plan to turn everybody else into a cat throughout the entire world!"
"But sir, how are you going to do that?" asked the sherif.
"Easy" replied Mister Mittens, "do you still have that place that use to do those fam commercials?"
"Yes, why?" asked the sherif.
"Take me there immediately" replied Mister Mittens, "I have an idea on how to turn everybody into cats, along with all of those stupid dogs as well!"
As Mister Mittens left the scene with the cat police officers and the sherif leaving the scene in police cars heading to an old commercial tower station, Courage immediately began to try to find Muriel, he soon found her as a cat in all white fur ready to obey her new master Mister Mittens.
"Muriel!" cried Courage as he found her right in front of a television.
"Oh Courage, glad you could join me" replied Muriel who was grooming herself as a cat, "please, please, sit down, our new grand leader Mister Mittens is going to give his speech."
Yet as Courage sat down in a chair nearby with the other cats watching him, plastic tape began to appear out of nowhere, trapping the poor former pink dog right on the chair.
"You former pink dog, we're going to get a huge reward with apprehending you" laughed one of the former humans, whom was now a cat.
"Yes, our boss doesn't appreciate that we have any independent cats who as are intelligent as he is or there'll be quite a power struggle going on" added a second.
"Yeah, so sit tight, we're going to sharpen our claws" added a third.
As the three former humans, now cats left the scene, Courage immediately remembered that he had claws too. So the former pink dog immediately stretched out his claws and began to slice the plastic straps that were pinning him down on the chair away. He then immediately raced outside the building and got into a car for which the keys still happened to be in the ignition. The former pink dog started the engines and then began to head toward his home. It was too risky for him for Eustace to see him, so he began to use his claws to start climbing the walls of the house and right into the window of where the room to his computer was located. He immediately took out a claw and began to make a good size enough hole for him to get inside.
"Oh, I just got to find help!" cried Courage, "I can't do this alone!"
While Courage was pressing the buttons as he turned on his computer, back down stairs, Eustace was still busy watching his usual television shows. His favorite shows were immediately interrupted by Mister Mittens who was given the podium to speak.
"Greetings citizens of Nowhere, and my future subjects of the world, I will prepare to spare the lives of any humans, still willing to be humans should they do me one favor" said Mister Mittens.
"Hey, bring back my television shows!" cried Eustace as he shook his fist.
"Bring me Courage, the former pink dog" replied Mister Mittens, "I'm planning to offer a huge reward to the human who brings me in this former dog."
"Ha, that stupid dog got turned himself into a cat!" laughed Eustace, "Serves him right, I wonder when Muriel be back with my truck."
Yet as the farmer was about to head outside, he noticed that there was another strange vehicle was parked outside, not his truck.
"What the heck is this pile of junk doing here?" asked Eustace has he began to inspect it, he then noticed some claw marks leading up to the room which had the computer, "Must be that former stupid dog, time to claim my reward!"
Meanwhile, back inside the room with the computer, the computer was quite suspicious on what had happen with poor Courage as he began to notice that Courage was sometimes using his new claws to touch the keyboard.
"Hey, be careful with that!" cried the computer, "So you want some help on finding where this Mister Mittens originated from, do you not?"
Courage simply nodded signaling a yes to his computer.
"Very well, I'm processing it then" replied the computer.
Yet as the computer was about to give the origins of where Mister Mittens originated from, Eustace came barging into the door of the room crashing it right down. He also had some bucket of water in his arsenal.
"Since cats hate, water, let's see how you like it, you former stupid dog!" laughed Eustace.
The farmer laughed as he poured the bucket of water, yet Courage was about to dodge the water. However, Courage's poor computer didn't survive, as right before it could spell Mister Mitten's hometown, the computer's hard drive immediately blew up for which the screen could only read "Pork" as the message on the screen.
"You stupid former dog, now I ruined the computer it's going to cost me money, but with the money Mister Mittens will make it'll be nothing compared to the joy I'll have in finally getting you!" laughed Eustace.
Eustace grabbed Courage by the neck. The poor pink cat struggled with the farmer, and finally Courage had to expose his claws and give Eustace a taste of his own medicine.
"This won't end well" sighed Eustace as Courage exposed his new claws.
Like a rabid cat, Courage spin himself around on poor Eustace who was trying to get a handle of the situation. The farmer rolled struggling with Courage out of the room, and right into the bathroom. Courage was able to use his claws to pin down Eustace, something for which he could never have done as a dog. Yet Courage made one mistake, the toilet seat was lifted up, and the farmer simply managed to toss the poor former pink dog into the toilet itself getting the pink cat all wet.
"That'll teach ya!" laughed Eustace as he grabbed Courage, "Now to head to that station and claim my prize!"
