1:26

Captain Clause from the top of the

1:28

ships. look out for a Perrier. Serves

1:31

toss so he.

1:38

Kept in, Claus has a

1:40

ship and crew, but he

1:42

isn't your average pirates. He

1:44

may have a pirate hats,

1:46

a cutlass, and a gold

1:48

who earring, but he's also

1:50

small, furry, and like taking

1:52

long naps throughout the universe.

1:54

That's right, captain clause

1:56

is a space cat

1:58

from the planet, Tatar,

2:01

and his pirate crew are space cats

2:03

too. There's first

2:05

to make Ginger Snap, a

2:08

tabby cat who's sailed the

2:10

seven solar systems. Then there's

2:12

Cosmonaut Flockball, who's very

2:14

good at navigating through outer space. And

2:17

he's very fluffy. But

2:20

unlike ordinary pirates, Captain Claus and

2:22

his crew don't care about looting

2:24

gold and treasure. Their

2:26

mission is to sniff out the

2:28

finest cat treats in the

2:30

cosmos and bring them back to

2:32

the planet, Tatar. Their

2:35

favorites are Starlight Sardines, Wrong

2:37

Tuna, and of course, the

2:39

rarest delicacy in the galaxy,

2:41

Space Salmon. Their

2:46

ship, the Whiskers Revenge, is

2:49

an epic spacecraft shaped like

2:51

a big silver banana. At

2:54

the front of the ship is its cockpit

2:56

with a steering wheel, control panel, and seats

2:58

for all the crew. And

3:00

at the top of the mast is a

3:03

black flag of a paw prince with a

3:05

large scratch swipe through.

3:08

Avast ye! Cries

3:11

Captain Claus. I'm coming down!

3:14

He slides down from the top of

3:16

the mast and lands in front of

3:18

first mate Ginger Snap, who is licking

3:20

her soft golden paws. Ginger

3:23

Snap's eyes narrow. And

3:28

this time you're absolutely sure, Captain

3:30

Claus? You know the exact

3:32

coordinates to our destination. Aye,

3:35

aye, Ginger Snap. Not

3:37

a shadow of doubt in me mind. Speaking

3:40

of shadows, did I ever tell you

3:42

about the time I sailed the Great

3:44

Sphinx's tail and fought off a battalion

3:46

of shadow monsters with me bare paws?

3:49

Ginger Snap stares at Captain Claus

3:52

without blinking. That sounds

3:54

very different to our last mission, where

3:56

we spent two months searching for the

3:58

famous invisible tail. tuna fish. We

4:01

wound up on Earth, where all we got

4:03

was... cans

4:06

of clam chowder. Argh!

4:08

That invisible tuna fish was much

4:11

harder to find than I expected.

4:15

And then there was the time we looked for

4:17

goodies in the Catnip Major galaxy. And

4:19

we had to escape a pack of purple

4:22

poodles from Pluto. How could I have

4:24

known that there are purple poodles living on Pluto?

4:27

Anyway, forget all of

4:30

that. This time I'm

4:32

positively, meow-solutely sure. A

4:35

beautiful bounty awaits us on planet... Oh,

4:38

what's its name? Planet Flupidder,

4:41

sir. Shouts Cosmonaut Fluffball. Ah,

4:44

yes. Planet Flupidder.

4:47

Captain Claus adjusts his pirate

4:49

hat and raises his cutlass.

4:51

Fire up the propellers and

4:54

raise the seven sails. Ginger

4:57

snap size. She

4:59

gently pulls aside her eye patch with her

5:01

paw and peers through a telescope

5:03

to check that the ship is clear for

5:05

takeoff. Meanwhile, Cosmonaut

5:07

Fluffball raises the seven

5:09

sails. Fluffball, have you put

5:11

in the coordinates? Asks Ginger snap.

5:14

Affirmative, ma'am. Fluffball leans over

5:17

the control panel, flashing

5:19

green and red. 18 billion light

5:21

years away and will find an

5:24

enormous shoal of space salmon entangled

5:26

in planet Flupidder's orbit. It will provide

5:28

food for our home planet for 60,521 years,

5:30

six weeks, and uh, 14 minutes for sight.

5:39

Thank you, Cosmonaut Fluffball. Do we have

5:41

enough supplies? Yes, ma'am. We start

5:43

to applaud the snacks we'll need at the

5:45

Milky Way Diner. Are

5:49

those noises normal? I'd like

5:51

it if we didn't explode this time. Your

5:53

equipment is 101% secure, ma'am. Ready for takeoff. The

6:02

crew take their seat in the cockpit and

6:05

buckle up their safety belts. Fluffball

6:07

starts the countdown. Five,

6:12

four, three, two,

6:15

one. We

6:18

have a whistle. The

6:21

whiskers' revenge soars through the night.

6:24

The sheer force of the take off

6:26

flattens their fur and pulls their faces

6:28

tight, bearing their pointy little

6:30

teeth. Whoa! Take

6:34

off clapping on fluffball. Thank

6:38

you. Phew!

6:45

Well, we reached our cruising

6:47

speed. Next stop, Lupater.

6:51

Captain Claus unbuckles his belt and

6:53

prowls across the deck. He

6:56

turns left and right, admiring the stars

6:58

all around them. Then

7:02

he stops. What's causing

7:04

all that noise back there? Just the

7:06

engines, Spratchet, steward some muck. Spratchet?

7:11

The whiskers' revenge hurtles through outer

7:13

space. Past stars,

7:15

planets, and twinkling galaxies.

7:19

Ahead of them, Lupater appears.

7:23

A magnificent silvery pink

7:25

halo circles the planet. Ginger

7:28

snap looks through the telescope. Would you

7:30

look at that? That's

7:32

the space salmon. That

7:35

incredible sight, ma'am. Space

7:37

salmon travel in huge shoals. This

7:40

one must have a total of,

7:43

let's see, 10 million, 20 million,

7:45

30 million. Aye,

7:47

aye. That's not

7:49

waste time counting salmon. Captain

7:52

Claus licks his lips and pulls

7:54

a blue bandana from his waistcoat

7:56

pocket, tying it under his chin like

7:58

a bib. Prepare the

8:00

next it's time for a feast

8:04

Suddenly there's a strange noise It

8:07

sounds like a huge animal rolling

8:10

along the side of the ship Seems

8:13

to be getting closer Fluff

8:15

balls hair stands on end ginger

8:17

snaps tail shoots into the air

8:20

Captain claws paw hovers above his

8:23

cutlass when a Green

8:26

tentacle slaps onto the deck

8:29

door Strange

8:31

creature has climbed aboard the ship

8:35

Exclaims Captain claws backing away from

8:37

the beast Cries

8:40

ginger snap Triggy

8:43

the alien appears to be an

8:45

invertebrate Resembles a shuffly

8:47

pod the size are positioned on

8:49

long stocks protruding directly from it.

8:51

Thanks for the biology lesson fluff ball Captain

8:54

how do we get rid of this thing? Captain

8:58

claws is nowhere to be seen. She's

9:00

already racing to the top of the

9:02

mast Meanwhile

9:06

the creature stretches its tentacles across

9:08

the deck and holds its slimy

9:11

body closer Ginger

9:16

snap orchards her spine and bears her

9:18

teeth It's a

9:21

map wait the line

9:23

interstellar convention 342

9:26

states that we must grant all stowaway The

9:33

alien stops no more than three feet

9:35

away It's so

9:37

close that ginger snap and fluff ball can

9:39

see the suckers on its green flesh They

9:43

shimmer delicately as the creature breathes

9:45

in and down Greetings

9:52

strange furry beings The

9:55

creature has a melodic voice more

9:58

elegant than its squiggly appearance

10:00

might suggest. Bonjour!

10:02

My name is Zerpod and

10:04

I am no ordinary stowaway.

10:07

I am a chef at the

10:10

Milky Way Diner, the most famous

10:12

restaurant in all of the seven

10:14

solar systems. Fluffball

10:16

and Gingersnap are too amazed

10:18

to speak. Meanwhile,

10:22

Captain Claws slides down the mast,

10:24

landing back on the deck with

10:26

a thud. A

10:29

chef? You don't look like

10:31

a chef. Zerpod rolls

10:33

his big yellow eyes and sighs.

10:36

I get that all the

10:38

time. He reaches his tentacles

10:40

into a pouch under his belly

10:42

and pulls out a pepper shaker,

10:44

a bottle of hot sauce, a

10:46

bag of flour, and a cluster

10:48

of Venus berries. A

10:51

chef never travels without ingredients.

10:54

Next, he pulls out a tiny white

10:56

chef's hat with the words

10:58

Milky Way Diner on the front. It's

11:01

slightly crumpled, with tentacles and dripping down

11:04

it. Zerpod places the

11:06

hat on his head with a flourish. Sir,

11:09

do you believe me now? The

11:12

Milky Way Diner. Cosmonaut

11:15

Fluffball, isn't that where you bought the

11:17

food supplies for our journey? Fluffball

11:20

nods. Affirmative, ma'am.

11:23

Captain Claws steps closer to

11:25

Zerpod, intrigued by the stranger

11:27

in their midst. What's

11:29

a landlubber like you doing

11:32

out here? You're a

11:34

long way from the Milky Way Diner. I

11:36

overheard the cosmonaut talking about the mission,

11:39

but I couldn't believe it. Space

11:41

salmons are the rarest delicacies in

11:43

the galaxy, and you want to

11:45

use them for... cat food? What

11:49

in the devil is wrong with cat food?

11:52

Asks Captain Claws. Well,

11:55

food for cats is hardly...

11:57

hot cuisine. I won't... Oh

12:01

really, Never stole. Wait until

12:03

insults across always. Scars are

12:05

at a. Captain

12:08
