NARRATOR: They say the city never sleeps.
But on this night, the whole town seemed to be on a trip to dreamland.
All except for two tireless private eyes
by the names of Tom and Jerry.
The cat and mouse detectives had just spent
three sleepless days and nights on a wild-goose chase,
chasing a wild goose all the way to Canada and back.
Yes, they were tired.
-(MANGLE SQUEAKING) -They were wrung out.
-(WHISK WHIRRING) -They were beat.
You could even say they were pooped...
Or not.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
-(BOTH SNORING) -There you are!
I've been waiting for hours.
He's stolen my prized possession!
Oh, what am I going to do!
My water dish, he took it out from under my nose.
It was like I was helpless, paralyzed.
Frozen stiff, by the sheer cuteness of that adorable kitten-face.
Those incredibly sweet eyes, and the sweetest little mew.
"Mew," it went.
-So adorable that I just... -(BOTH SNORING)
Oh!
CO: Wake up, and listen to me!
This is a major crime. My one and only water dish.
I...
-I've been robbed! -(ALL CLAMORING)
NARRATOR: They all had the same story.
How could one adorable fur ball
commit so many crimes in so little time?
The answer to that question would have to wait,
while our heroes got some badly-need rest.
(THUDDING)
The mattresses!
They were just here a minute ago.

NARRATOR: Hey, wait a minute!
It's him! The kitten cat burglar.
(THUDDING)
To the cat-and-mouse-mobile!
Ooh, I forgot.
They traded in the cat-and-mouse-mobile
for something more fuel efficient.

POLICEMAN: Ahem.
Can't you read?
NARRATOR: So, they headed uptown,
where the kitten burglar had been one very busy cat,
stealing an odd assortment of household items
from furniture to litter boxes.
What am I supposed to do
without my personal litter box?
I, for sure, ain't gonna use
the community box down the hall.
(FLIES BUZZING)
Ew!
So, you catch that little fuzz ball, or we are through!
(JERRY SNORING)
He took the whole stinking sofa!
I've done my best to cover it up,
but I'm scared my owners might notice.
What am I saying?
Of course, they're gonna notice!
I was so stunned by the cuteness,
I just stood there, while he made off with my boombox.
That thing's my livelihood, too.
I'm studying to be a DJ.
Yo, check this out.

Poor little me, cooped up all alone in this luxury apartment all day.
With just a single photo of my owner
to keep me company, till they come home at night.
Now, it's gone!
And all the kitten left me was a solitary selfie,
to taunt me in my loneliness.
(MEOWS)
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, "Mew."
But what am I laughing at?
(WAILING)
I want that photo back! I am so lonesome without it.
(WAILING) Oh, woe is me!
I just miss my family so much.
NARRATOR: How could the little mew be in so many places at once?
Was he using mirrors? Mass hypnosis?
-(KITTEN MEOWS) -(HIGH-PITCHED SCREAMING)
Another crime! No time for social graces.
-Break down that door. -(CRASHING)
Unless it's already unlocked.
-(SCREAMING) -(THUDDING)
He went out the window with my master's candle sticks.
But be careful.
I tell you, he's so cute it's incapacitating.
NARRATOR: That's for not locking your doors during a crime wave.
(MEOWS)
-(CHUCKLES) -(MEOWS)
NARRATOR: Uh-oh. Cuteness factor.
Activate shields.
(SPLASHING)
NARRATOR: You solved the case!
They were clones all along!
I mean, a whole litter of homeless brothers and sisters
making up for the loving family home they never had.
They never meant any harm, after all.
In the end, everyone got their stolen goods back.
(JERRY CHUCKLING)
Fully returned, without a scratch.
Well, almost.

NARRATOR: And lonely, old Winston got his family photo back,
with an extended family to go with it.
-(KITTENS MEWING) -(KISSING)
My very own 24-hour family to call my own.
Oh, thank you, cat and mouse detectives.
Huh?
NARRATOR: It isn't exactly the Ritz,
but it's got all the privacy and quiet of a five-star resort.
