Surprised by the disappearance of his companions, hassler and lily, the cat-mover tries to find them, but is unsuccessful in finding them. He tries to summon the help of the other cats, but they are too frightened to help him, and he is forced to throw them into a warm bathtub. He tells his brother that he has something to say, and that if he still wants to throw him into the tub, he should hear him out. He asks where the fan came from, and learns that the three cats he has to care for are enemies of his, and if he treats them badly, it will make it more difficult for him in the future. He also learns that they have helped him out plenty, and it would not be right of him to treat them this way. Surprised, he orders his brother to capture the two cats at once.
