Mistostar: Well Mistoffelees, it�s not and entire spoof. I mean, I didn�t pull the entire story in and send it up, it�s only one song. I thought it could be fun. Could you get Tugger rounded up for me?

Mistoffelees Lets out a piercing whistle. Plato, Macavity, Alonzo and Mungojerrie look up at Mistoffelees who points at Tugger

Mistoffelees: Can you lend a hand and catch him for me please?

Plato, Macavity, Alonzo and Mungojerrie chase down Tugger and drag him over to Mistoffelees and Mistostar.

Mistoffelees puts a foot on Tugger�s tail to hold him still
