"They're gone?!" Robyn asked in shock. "You took them away without letting us say goodbye?"

She and Mandy, still in their pajamas, were both in the entrance hallway with Aunt Figg, who was pouring herself some tea.

Ferdinand was resting on his skateboard by her feet.

"Aunt Figg, how could you?" Mandy demanded to know.

"Oh, they didn't mind," Aunt Figg simply responded. "You know the only thing animals care about is the next meal."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Ferdinand nodded his head, and mumbled.

"First our Daddy, and now Tom and Jerry?" whined Robyn.

"They were our friends," said Mandy, feeling disappointed with the oblivious departure of their new friends.

"Of course you feel miserable, you selfish little girls," Aunt Figg glared at the girls. "You should be thinking of them. They're happy where they are." She took a sip of her tea.

Mandy didn't want to believe her. But, she sighed and sadly shook her head.

In the meantime, Tom and Jerry, along with the other animals, were miserable back at Dr. Applecheek's.

"Now later tonight..." Tom and Jerry listened to Dr. Applecheek give orders to his henchmen; the Straycatchers. "Get rid of the two new ones. Pristine Figg's paid for the privilege of doing them." He pulled out an envelope form his coat pocket, and showed it to the two men.

After that, he went back upstairs with a snicker, and closed the door behind him.

Tom and Jerry both gaped in horror as they understood; Aunt Figg had paid Dr. Applecheek to euthanize them, in order to prevent them from telling Mandy and Robyn about their father's survival.

"Well, well, well," A voice came from one of the cages, right next to the cat and mouse.

Tom and Jerry looked up in surprise, as they recognized the voice.

"Puggsy! Frankie!" exclaimed Tom.

"What are you guys doing here?!" smiled Jerry.

Next door to the cat and mouse, was a large brown dog named Puggsy; He had darker ears, eyes, and eyebrows. He also wore a blue cap and shirt under a purple vest. Around his neck, was a lilac scarf.

Resting on his nose, was a tiny green flea named Frankie DaFlea; He had on a green beret, and a green striped sleeveless shirt. Around his neck was a yellow scarf, and he wore glasses with yellow see-through lenses.

"The Straycatchers finally got me," Puggsy explained. "So, I ain't perfect all the time."

Frankie crossed his arms. "I've been telling you that for years," he braggingly told Puggsy.

"So, how'd you two guys wind up in a fix like this?" Puggsy asked the cat and mouse.

Tom and Jerry both began to explain:

"We met theses two orphan girls."

"Their names are Robyn and Mandy."

"Only, they're not really orphans."

"Their father's alive!"

"Yeah! But they don't know it yet."

"What?" Puggsy's eyes widened in confusion. "What are you two talking about?"

"Their Aunt Figg got us before we could tell them," said Jerry.

"We gotta bust outta here. The girls gotta know!" Tom admitted, now feeling sympathetic for Robyn and Mandy.

Jerry nodded. "Sure, but how?"

Puggsy pointed out to a control panel with red buttons. "Somebody's gotta get over there and press the buttons on the control panel."

But Tom shook his head. "Don't look at me! How can I get outta this cage?"

Jerry studied the diamond-shaped holes on the cage door. "I think I can," he said. The mouse stuck his head out.

For the first time, Tom smiled down at Jerry for his support. "I know you can."

Before Jerry could squeeze himself through, Tom helped him out with a flick.

Jerry landed right on the ground, in the row of the cages.

The mouse took a glance at the Straycatchers, who were sleeping peacefully on the sofas. As quiet as he could be, Jerry tiptoed over to the control panel, and climbed up on one of the wires. Examining the buttons, the little mouse leapt onto one of them.

The cage with Tom inside opened up.

Then, Jerry continued to do the same to the other buttons.

More cages with the imprisoned animals inside opened up, as well.

Hearing the sounds of the cages, the Straycatchers stirred awake to see what was happening.

As the last cage opened up, Droopy the dog came out. "Hello, all you happy people," he greeted.

"All right! Everybody out!" demanded Puggsy.

All of the animals took their chance, and rushed out of their cages, barking and meowing.

The Straycatchers leapt up from the sofas. "Watch it!" The shortest thug jumped into the taller one's arms. They braced themselves as the animals toppled over them.

Dr. Applecheek opened up the door, and began to scold the animals. "Quiet down there! I'm on-" he cut himself off, as he discovered they were all loose.

Shocked, the doctor was toppled over as well, as the animals made their escape.

Jerry hopped off the Dr. Applecheek's nose like a diving board, while Tom landed on his head, knocking him out.

The dogs and cats all jumped out the open window for freedom. One brown dog noticed a small fluffy dog who couldn't seem to jump up to a window that high. So, the brown dog picked the little dog up, and let him out, before getting out himself.

The small dog lifted its fur to make it easier for him to run away with the other free dogs and cats.

Jerry prepared to jump out the window, himself.

But, Tom skidded in his way, stopping the mouse and shaking his head. He pointed to himself as if to say 'me first!'. The cat turned to get out, only to bump his head on the windowsill. Tom had a dazed look on his face, and he fell out the window.

Jerry simply shrugged, and hopped out as well.

The cat and mouse joined Puggsy and Frankie outside.

"Well, well, well! Pretty fancy footwork, Pussy-Cat," Puggsy stated, impressed with the duo's success. "Get going, and give those orphan girls the good news!"

"Right!" Jerry took off down the street.

Tom seemed to glare at Jerry as he quickly left. Yet, he put on a smile, and ran to catch up to the mouse. Not before playfully skipping around a lamp pole.
