Meet Luis, a very special cat who loves to explore the town. He’s charming and always ready for an adventure. Luis lives at the fire station and once helped in a daring rescue. His tail even has a little burn mark from that exciting day!
Luis loves to visit different places, and sometimes he even rides in the fire truck. Everywhere he goes, people are happy to see him and give him tasty treats.
One night, after having a bit too much fun, Luis took a wrong turn and found himself in a new place. There, he saw Tabitha, a beautiful and elegant cat. Luis was amazed by her, and it was love at first sight. But there was a problem—a thick glass door and Tabitha’s owner kept them apart. “Shoo, Luis!” she said, but Luis didn’t give up.
The next morning, Luis brought Tabitha a special gift made of sardine tins, twine, and feathers. Tabitha was happy, but her owner was not. Luis kept trying, bringing different gifts each day, like mice, pigeons, and even balloons! But every time, Tabitha’s owner would chase him away.
Luis needed help, so he asked his friends. Mr. Pickles said, “You’re an outside cat.” Socks suggested, “You need to be an inside cat.” One-Eyed Winky added, “Or at least look like one.” Luis had an idea!
The next day, Luis tried again. This time, Tabitha’s owner opened the door and let him in. Luis was happy inside with Tabitha, but soon the doorbell rang, and Luis was outside again.
Luis found a new home with a new name and plenty of food, but he missed Tabitha. He asked his friends for advice again. “You’re an outside cat,” said Mr. Pickles. “And she’s an inside cat,” said Socks. “And that’s just the way it is,” said One-Eyed Winky.
So, Luis continued his adventures around town, always welcomed with open arms and leftovers. But he still missed Tabitha.
One night, while riding in the fire truck, Luis felt something was wrong. He saw Tabitha in danger! The sirens wailed, and everyone was worried. But Luis was brave. He disappeared into the smoke and returned with Tabitha, safe and sound.
The crowd cheered, and Tabitha’s owner was so grateful. She smiled at Luis and Tabitha, and they were finally together. Luis received a gold medal for being a hero, and Tabitha got a blue ribbon.
Now, Luis and Tabitha are always together, enjoying their soft, warm home.

[Applause] Luis and Tabitha. Luis was a cat about town—dashing, charming, perfectly suave. He lived unofficially at the fire station and had been involved in a daring rescue involving a very small Louise, a very shrill smoke alarm, and a very tall house. His tail still had the scorch marks.
Luis liked to go visiting, as society cats do. Sometimes he’d travel in the fire truck. Everywhere he went, Luis was welcomed with open arms and leftovers.
One night, after too much catnip and too many sardines, Luis was making his rounds when he took a wrong turn. He climbed a wall and saw Tabitha—elegant, silky, perfectly sophisticated. Luis stopped; Tabitha stared. It was love from afar, love under the spotlight of the moon, love thwarted by a thick glass door and by Tabitha’s owner. “Shoo, Luis!” she cried, but he wasn’t done.
The next morning, Tabitha stared out at a vast bouquet of sardine tins, twine, and feathers. Luis smiled; Tabitha smiled. Tabitha’s owner did not smile. “Shoo, Luis!” she cried, but he wasn’t done. The next day he brought mice, the day after that he brought pigeons, and after that, balloons—which is not easy when you’re a cat. Each day, Luis and Tabitha stared into each other’s eyes until Tabitha’s owner chased Luis away.
Luis needed advice. He asked his friends over a bowl of cream. “You’re an outside cat,” said Mr. Pickles. “You need to be an inside cat,” said Socks. “Or at least look like one,” said One-Eyed Winky. Luis had an idea.
The next day, Luis showed up at Tabitha’s door once more. Luis smiled; Tabitha smiled. Tabitha’s owner clutched her hands to her heart and opened the door. Luis was inside, where everything was soft, warm, and scratchable, and Luis and Tabitha were inseparable until the doorbell rang. “Is this him?” “That’s him!” And Luis and Tabitha were thwarted by the thick glass door once more.
Luis had a new home, a new name, and a new owner, and all the sardines and cheese he could eat. But all he wanted was Tabitha, and all Tabitha wanted was Luis. It was love from afar.
The doorbell rang. “Is this him?” “That’s him!” “And that’s not him.” And Luis was a cat about town once more. Luis needed advice. He asked his friends over a bowl of cream. “You’re an outside cat,” said Mr. Pickles. “And she’s an inside cat,” said Socks. “And that’s just the way it is,” said One-Eyed Winky.
So Luis went visiting as society cats do. He went visiting all across town. Everywhere he went, he was welcomed with open arms and leftovers, and everywhere he went, Tabitha wasn’t until one night.
Luis was riding in the fire truck when his tail began to tingle. Luis saw Tabitha—elegant, silky, perfectly sophisticated—and in terrible danger. The sirens began to wail. Everyone outside cried, the firefighters. The crowd was a cloud of arms and shrieks as it gathered on the corner, but there was no Tabitha.
And suddenly, there was no Luis. The crowd waited and worried and fretted. Finally, the gray parted, and from it emerged Luis and Tabitha, leading Tabitha’s owner. The crowd cheered. Tabitha’s owner plopped down on the curb and clutched her hands to her heart. She looked at Luis and Tabitha and smiled. The cat show judge placed a blue ribbon on Tabitha, and the firefighters placed a gold medal on Luis and declared them both perfectly heroic.
Luis was back inside, where everything was soft, warm, and scratchable, and Luis and Tabitha were inseparable.
