In this chapter, the cat tells the young man that he wants to make him his own immediately, but that what he really wants is his heart. He tells him that the whole area under his power is under his control, and that he will destroy it with his own hands. The young man agrees to go back to his father's house, but he must remember that every inch of his skin and hair belongs to him. The cat promises to build him a beautiful bungalow and buy him a huge western-style soft bed when he turns eighteen, and they will celebrate his coming-of-age on it properly
