Fred the Housecat’s Adventure

Hi there! I’m Fred, the housecat. I live with a wonderful family, and when they leave for the day, I don’t just sit around. I love to explore and see what nature has in store for me!

Meet Sir Galahad

One day, we had a special guest at our house—a hamster named Sir Galahad. We were pet-sitting him, which means we were taking care of him while his owners were away. But there was one important rule: we couldn’t let Sir Galahad out of his cage.

Oops! Sir Galahad Escapes!

Somehow, Sir Galahad managed to escape from his cage! Oh no! We had to find him and bring him back safely. So, we started our adventure to track him down.

Looking for Clues

We searched everywhere for clues. We looked for signs like fur, trampled grass, and even chew marks because hamsters love to gnaw on things. Sir Galahad had brown fur, so we kept an eye out for any brown hair patches.

Following the Trail

As we searched, we found a trail that mice and squirrels often use. We thought Sir Galahad might have followed it too. We were getting closer!

Finding Sir Galahad

Finally, we heard some noises and saw chew marks. We knew Sir Galahad was nearby! We called out to him, and there he was, ready to run again. But we caught him just in time!

A Lesson Learned

We learned that taking care of pets means following rules and keeping them safe. Sir Galahad was back in his cage, and we were happy to have him safe and sound.

Exploring Nature

Even though it was a bit of a wild adventure, we had fun exploring nature and learning about the animals around us. Remember, nature is full of surprises, and there’s always something new to discover!

Thanks for joining me on this adventure. Until next time, keep exploring and having fun!

  • What do you think Fred the housecat learned from his adventure with Sir Galahad? Have you ever had a pet or taken care of an animal? What was it like?
  • Fred and his family had to look for clues to find Sir Galahad. Can you think of a time when you had to solve a mystery or find something that was lost? How did you do it?
  • Fred mentioned that nature is full of surprises. What is something surprising or interesting you have discovered in nature? How did it make you feel?
  1. Pet Detective Game: Pretend to be detectives like Fred and his family. Hide a small toy or object in a room and create a trail of clues leading to it. Use things like paper footprints, string, or small notes with hints. Work together with a friend or family member to follow the clues and find the hidden object. Discuss how following clues helped you find the object, just like Fred found Sir Galahad.

  2. Nature Observation Walk: Go on a short walk in your backyard or a nearby park with an adult. Look for signs of animals, like footprints, feathers, or chewed leaves. Bring a notebook and draw or write down what you find. Talk about how these clues tell you about the animals that live nearby, just like Fred used clues to find Sir Galahad.

  3. Pet Care Chart: Create a chart with your family to show how you take care of your pets or plants at home. Include tasks like feeding, watering, and cleaning. Decorate the chart with drawings of your pets or plants. Discuss why each task is important and how it helps keep your pets or plants safe and healthy, just like Fred learned to keep Sir Galahad safe.

That’s me, Fred the housecat, with my family. When they leave for the day, I don’t just sit inside watching the world go by.

We’re so excited to explore all that nature has in store!

Meet Heartthrob Hamster!

[Music]

Just when you thought Sir Galahad was safe, he has to try a hickory nut!

This is Sir Galahad. Sir Galahad, this is Squeaks. The pleasure is all mine! What do you say you let me out of this cage so I can properly say hello?

But we need to be responsible. We’re pet-sitting Sir Galahad, and remember the rules Dad told the kids: under no circumstances are you allowed to let Sir Galahad out.

Whoops! How did that happen?

As I led, rules dictate my life. I would not have seen the magnificent ruins of Machu Picchu or smelled the sweet aroma of the Amazonian rainforest.

And this is where I say, “So long, thanks for them!” That’s never going back, baby! I was born to run!

What just happened?

[Music]

Where did he go? What are we going to do?

Now the hamster’s gone AWOL! We do what we do for any escapee, any cage breaker. We track them down and bring them back.

Hmm, no animal tracks. Daisy, what do you see?

A few butterflies fluttering near Foley’s pond, a snoring raccoon over in the old tree stump, but other than that, nada. No sight, no sound.

Hey, how about you, buddy? You’re the hound! Pick up that hamster scent!

Oh, nice work! Thank you!

Hey, look at the signs! He left his fur and trampled grass. These tell us he was here.

Hamsters like to gnaw on things to keep their teeth from growing too much.

Oh well, we could look for chew sticks. Let’s see what else… We could look for hair. What color is Sir Galahad’s hair?

Okay, it’s brown. We can look for brown hair patches.

What else? Dreamy eyes, beautiful teeth… Hamsters need to drink water and they eat seeds and nuts.

Oh, hello there!

Oh wait, Sir Galahad was eating those!

[Music]

Hey guys, look what I found!

What is that?

Oh, I apologize, sir!

What we found, you guys, I know this trail! Mice and squirrels use this all the time to get through the woods. Do you think Sir Galahad would follow this trail instead of making a new one?

He sure would! Look, he did! Time to find that crooked critter!

Nature Cat, we really should get moving here.

No, wait! One more round!

That’s a good one, worth the wait! Onward!

[Applause]

We’re on the right path! I wish I had one of those nuts right now.

Well, if Sir Galahad hadn’t taken your hickory nuts, you would!

You guys, Sir Galahad didn’t take them!

Which way did he go?

Look for signs!

It’s a good sign, but no beautiful brown hair anywhere.

That’s exactly what we’re going to find out, Squeaks! We’re coming for you!

[Music]

More signs! We’re still hot on Galahad’s trail. He will rue the day he lied to us!

Galahad didn’t lie to us, Nature Cat!

All signs point this way!

We’re getting closer and closer! I can feel it!

We’ve hit a dead end. No more signs and no Sir Galahad.

I know you’re safe because you’re brave and smart, and I still miss you.

So you know where Galahad is, don’t you?

How could I know where he is?

Why are you protecting him?

I have no idea where he is!

Yes, you do!

No, you don’t!

He could take my food!

Now I see you! Sir Galahad really is…

He’s not good!

No, he’s not, Squeaks! And we need to bring him to justice!

Help us bring him to justice! All animals need water. He’s probably thirsty right now!

I know I am! Is there any water around here?

What’s that, Mr. Chewinski? There’s a creek that way! Then that’s where we go!

You did the right thing, Squeaks! Keep your eyes peeled for signs of Sir Galahad!

Look, you guys! Hamsters love to gnaw! These teeth marks mean he’s here!

Great work, Squeaks!

I hear him!

Bingo! Hold it right there, Galahad! The jig’s up, pal! You’re going back to the cage!

Never, baby! I was born to run!

To swim? Why does it have to be water?

[Music]

And this goes as a lesson for all escapees out there: crime does not pay!

Squeaks, listen to me!

I love you!

You’ve gotta be kidding, Mr. Chewinski! This is on you, buddy!

Watch him!

But baby, I was born to run!

Yeah, and turn around!

[Laughter]

That was really nice of you, Squeaks, putting the wheel in there!

Yeah, well, what can I say?

Mmm, you sure are, Squeaks! You sure are!
