(Nature Cat swings on a vine to the Nature Cat logo.)
Nature Cat: Tally ho!
(Nature Cat climbs off the vine, only to find something missing in the logo.)
Nature Cat: Hmm... Isn't there something missing in my logo?
(A moment of silence)
Nature Cat: (snaps his fingers) Aha! I get it now. This is my movie! So this logo needs...
(Nature Cat finds "THE MOVIE" text at the bottom-right corner.)
Nature Cat: Ahh! Some text!
(Nature Cat places the text at the bottom of the logo.)
Nature Cat: There we go!
(Nature Cat swings off-screen.)
Text: Based on the PBS Kids educational animated television series Nature Cat by Adam Rudman and David Rudman
(Fades to a shot of the suburbs in the morning, then fades to Fred's house, where Fred is sleeping in his cat bed.)
(His alarm clock goes from 6:59 to 7:00, waking him up, and then turns it off. He goes into the small cat house and does his morning routine. which includes brushing his teeth, washing his whiskers, and combing his fur.)
Nature Cat: There! That's better.
(He goes to the dressing room.)
Nature Cat: Now, let me see. What should I wear today? Aha! Here we go.
(Nature Cat then puts on his hat and clothes. He then goes to the chute, which says "EXIT TO BACKYARD" in a Carton Six font, in which the pipes connect between the chute in his cat house and the tree inside the backyard. He slides down from the chute, through the pipes underground, and out through the hole of the tree, does a frontflip, and land on his feet on the ground to stand. Nature Cat then inhales and exhales.)
Nature Cat: What a beautiful morning out here in the backyard!
(He looks at the sun.)
Nature Cat: The sun is shining...
(He looks at the birds.)
Nature Cat: The birds are singing...
(He looks at the squirrels.)
Nature Cat: The squirrels are chattering and looking for acorns...
(He breathes again.)
Nature Cat: And the air feels great! I wonder what my friends are doing today.
(Nature Cat walks to find his friends in the backyard.)
Nature Cat: Hello, everyone!
(Nature Cat sees his three friends, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy at the picnic table having breakfast, and Daisy had already finished making his.)
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Hey, Nature Cat!
Hal: So good to see you, Nature Cat, ol' buddy ol' pal.
Nature Cat: Great to see you, guys! Ah, I see you've made breakfast for me, huh?
Daisy: Yep, we've made it just for you!
(Daisy hands the plate of breakfast to Nature Cat.)
Nature Cat: Aw, thanks Daisy!
(The four all ate their breakfast and packed up their stuff.)
Nature Cat: Well guys, that was a good breakfast. Let's go out and enjoy the nature.
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Yeah!
Nature Cat: Onward and yonward!
(The four left the backyard and into the forest so they can enjoy the nature there.)
 Part 2: Animals Have Human Instincts? 
(Meanwhile, back inside the house, Fred's owner, Dave Reef, walks into the living room. He sees one of Fred's strings of cat fur lying on the floor. He picks it up and takes a close look at it. Then, he saw another string of Fred's cat fur, this time on the inside of Fred's small cat house. He later picks it up and looks at it. He then put the fur strings inside a Ziploc bag and sits on the couch.)
Dave: Hmmm, I wonder, where did my cat go? I thought he was at his own cat bed with me. I just don’t know where he is now. I can’t see him, but… I think he’s outside.
(He scratches his head, then shrugs.)
Dave: Oh well. Time for me to watch TV.
(He turns on the TV with the remote, and watches the news.)
News Reporter: This just in, folks, Something big is happening in this town. A mad scientist has been caught by the police for changing the behavior of the animals from normal and useless primitive behavior, as usual, into great, powerful, and useful man-like behavior. The scientist also made animals talk like we humans always do. Here are some experiments the scientist had made, which are animals with human behavior and instincts.
(The screen shows the lab, the camera pans to a pony playing with a violin, then to a dog making stone tools, and finally to a cat who is shown eating the scientist's berry cake.
Cat that eats cake: Yum yum yum yum yum. Delicious! Okay, um, can I go home now?
News Reporter: You heard it, folks, there are animals in the lab that have human instincts and can talk. Local Animal Doctors are examining these animals to find the cure of a very rare and newfound disease that many are dubbing: “Humanious animailopius” or “Talking syndrome”! Yeah, we have to take those poor animals to the vet to find that cure. Also, one of the humans took one fat cat home. That fat cat can talk as well and it’s lazy, but, when it’s owner left him outside, that lazy cat is planning to destroy the forest the innocent animals have lived in since the dawn of “Creation”. If you want to find out more about this disease, go check out the dictionary, or the encyclopedia, or the Internet, or Wikipedia, or even Google for more information. Well, that’s it for the day. Thanks for watching, and we’ll be right back after our commercial break.
Dave: Oh...my...goodness. You mean...
(He looks out the window and sees Fred (aka Nature Cat), Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy. He then gasps.)
Dave: Fred has human instincts and behavior, and… and he can talk?! Oh my goodness. All I wanted… was a pet… a pet that does not talk and that doesn’t have human behavior and/or instincts. All I wanted is a pet that does not have this… rare “Talking syndrome” disease. Why did I adopt a cat named Fred that has that type of rare disease? Do you really think that all of my pets have this disease?! That’s it! I have to put them up for adoption.
(Dave marches outside through the front door, gets into his car, and drives away. We cut back to the backyard.)
Nature Cat: Guys, did you hear that?
Hal: Hear...hear what?
Nature Cat: My owner. He's going to put us up for adoption, because...he realized that we talked and that we have both animal instincts and human instincts mixed together. How on earth did he know that?
Hal: Well, we're cartoons, silly. The animators, who are the same people that made our show, made us as characters using paper, pencil, and software like Toon Boom Harmony.
Nature Cat: Um, Hal, you shouldn't break the fourth wall.
Hal: Huh? Oh! Oopsy.
Nature Cat: Now, speaking of pencil and paper, they're both made of wood.
Daisy: Of course! Man, oh man, the animators turned wood, that came from trees, into pencil and paper to make drawings and combining them into animations. Forgive me if I broke the fourth wall, like Hal.
Nature Cat: Yes indeed, Daisy. Speaking of trees, let's go look around in the forest and look at some animals, trees, and plants.
Squeeks: Good idea, Nature Cat. Humans won't be able to see us talk and use human instincts to do something.
Nature Cat: Okay, let's go. Tally-ho!
(The four left the backyard to go to the forest. Meanwhile, Ronald watched them go.)
Ronald: So, Nature Cat, you want to go and enjoy nature, huh? Well, if my plan works, you and your friends will never get to see nature and enjoy it ever again! All of these trees in this town will go, and once my plan is complete, all of the trees, plants, and animals will kiss their precious natural lives “goodbye”, and I know just the way to do it! Hahahahaha!
(Ronald then laughs.)
Part 3: Getting the Message to the City
(The camera pans down where Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy are walking in the forest.)
Daisy: Man oh man, what are we going to do?
Squeeks: I don’t think there is much we can do. The humans know we can talk like humans, we can walk like humans, we can run like humans, we can jump like humans, we can eat like humans, we can drink like humans, we can swim like humans, we can create and invent like humans, and we can even act like humans.
Nature Cat: Uh, Squeeks, I think we get the point.
Squeeks: Oh, right... but Nature Cat, they're bound to catch us, and who knows what will happen to all of our friends!
Hal: Oh, I wish we could just show the humans all the good things that we've done around town to help nature.
Nature Cat: Hal! You're a genius!
Hal: I'm a genius... Wait, what's a genius again?
Nature Cat: Um, Hal, a genius is a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative, either generally or in some particular respect.
Hal: Oh, right... I got nothing.
Nature Cat: Right, let's go team! But wait! What exactly have we done to help nature around town?
Squeeks: Well, I remember when we went to Rudzie's...
(Flashback from "Earth Day Today" is shown)
Squeeks: We were celebrating Earth Day, when we realized that Rudzie's plastic bags were polluting nature. So, we replaced the plastic bags with completely different bags made from cloth...
(Flashback ends)
Daisy: And the plastic pollution stopped! Oh oh oh! And I remember when...
(Flashback from "Runaway Pumpkin" is shown)
Daisy: ...it took place after the Halloween Festival, when everyone was about to throw out their old pumpkins, but then we showed them that we could use old pumpkins for so much more than just throwing them out! And... we ended up having a party in our backyard!
(Flashback ends)
Hal: Now that you both mentioned it, I remember the time when...
(Flashback from "Happy Halentine's Day" is shown)
Hal: We made Valentine gifts out of reusable items instead of gifts thrown away the day after. And I made my mom and the neighborhood pets so happy! Haha!
(Flashback ends)
Nature Cat: Guys, we have done so much to help our community and help nature! And there is so much more we could do! Hal, you could still make that model of the neighborhood out of plants.
Hal: Yeah!
Nature Cat: And Daisy, you could still catalog all the insects and plants in your garden! I hope they like it there.
Daisy: I hope so too!
Nature Cat: Now what else?
(Nature Cat thinks for a moment and then gets an idea)
Nature Cat: Aha! I know, Squeeks, you could still hold more rock star meetings and nature events, to keep the neighborhood pets into the outdoors! And there is still so much more we can accomplish! We can make humans care about nature, just as much as the neighborhood pets care about it. So, what do you say?
Hal: Here, here! But, the humans, including our owners, which consist of a man, his wife, their son, and even their little daughter, are probably still upset with us.
Nature Cat: Hmmm... we need to find a way to get our message out to the whole neighborhood.
Squeeks: I think I know how we can get out to the entire city! Follow me!
(Nature Cat, Hal, and Daisy followed Squeeks, and the scene transitions to the canal and a river raft.)
Nature Cat: (gulps) Water! Why'd it have to be water?
Daisy: Oh, c'mon you guys! We need to get to the city, and fast.
Squeeks: Alright you guys, once we get to the city, we'll need to find the Hawk. She'll be able to get us into the news studio to get the word out, plus we'll get all of our city friends on the force!
Nature Cat: Perfect! Onward and...
(Nature Cat is suddenly cut short by the sound of the rustling leaves. As the camera views looks behind the group, we see the shadows of Fred's human family looking for him)
Dave: Fred! Fred! Oh, Fred! Where are you?
Amanda: Come out, come out, wherever you are!
(The scene then goes to a full shot of Fred's human family with their faces completely revealed)
Dave: Aha! There you are, Fred!
Nature Cat: Yikes!
(Nature Cat then scrambles into the boat and Hal quickly pushes off the bank)
Dave: Fred, wait! Please, wait! Come back! I didn't mean to...
(The rest of his words fade into the rushing winds of the river as Nature Cat and his friends find themselves in Lake Michigan, sailing towards Chicago)
Nature Cat: Full steam ahead!
Hal: Aye aye, captain!
(Hal adjusts the sail of the raft and Nature Cat and the rest set sail to Chicago)
Part 4: Getting the Pets Back
(We fade to the exterior view of the police station and then the scene cuts to the interior where we see Fred's human family, the Reefs, talking to the officers)
Officer #1: Welcome, Reef Family. Is there anything we can help you with?
Dave: Um, yes, uh, well, uh, you see, me and the rest of my family found out that our pets Fred, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy have a rare disease called the “Talking syndrome”, so they can talk like us humans and gain human instincts. We are so upset, and very worried about their safety, that they got this disease, and we wanted a pet that does not have such disease like this one.
Officer #1: Uh-huh.
Amanda: We tried to catch them, but no, they escaped into the unknown.
Eric: We didn't even get to say goodbye to those pets.
Julie: Oh, I agree with my brother! Waaaaaaa!
Dave: Now, calm down kids. We'll try to get our pets back. Right now, we've been bankrupt, and now, our pets have been... petnapped.
Officer #2: Wait a second, is that even a real word?
Dave: Well, kinda.
(The two officers shrugged)
Officer #1: Well, we’re pretty busy right now tracking down the infected animals, but we’ll try our best to get your pets back. Oh, by the way, what do they look like?
Dave: Well, officer, The first is a cat named Fred, and he’s a pale yellow cat with an oversized pinkish-purple nose. Many hours ago, when I was watching the news this morning about this disease that made animals talk and act like us humans, I just saw him standing like a human, and he’s wearing a green adventure hat on his head with a red feather attached to it, and a green shirt with orange lines and brown sleeves, and a thick orange line going across it, making it look like he's wearing a sash, and an orange belt on his waist, brown pants, and dark red shoes. He called himself the “Nature Cat”.
Officer #1: Yes? Go on.
Dave: Well, he has the disease called “Talking syndrome” which made him talk and act like a human. The same thing occurred to our 3 other pets: Squeeks, Daisy, and Hal. For Daisy, she is a bunny with white fur and was obsessed with modern human technology like we humans use. For Squeeks, she is a light blue wild mouse that we adopted many years before this. Squeeks had a very huge love to cheese, especially cheddar cheese, Mexican cheese, Italian cheese, American cheese, Swiss cheese, and even Wensleydale cheese. Oh, and Hal, he’s a tan-orange dog with a long purple nose, long brown ears and wears a red dog collar with a golden name tag around his neck, and yes, he can be absent minded at times.
Officer #1: Really? You don't say. Hang on. I'll be right back.
(The first officer goes to the file storage cabinet to find a photo of Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy. Dave and his family waited for him to return. The officer found it and gave it to him)
Officer #1: Aha! Got it! Okay, Dave, we found a photo of your pets.
Dave: Great!
Officer #1: So Dave, are these the pets the ones that you're looking for?
Amanda: Honey?
Dave: Yes, Amanda?
Amanda: I can see that the pets from the photo look pretty familiar to the ones we have back home. Do you think?
(Dave paused for 2 seconds, and then he turned to the officers)
Dave: Uh, yes. Those pets are the ones we're looking for.
Officer #1: Okay then, well, I have to call animal control to catch those pets, and return them... to you.
Dave: Oh, that would be great! Thank you so much officers.
Officer #2: No problem, David. Anytime.
Dave: Hey kids, did you hear that?
Eric: Hear... hear what?
Dave: Well, Eric, the police are going to call the animal control to bring our pets back to us. Are you all happy, or what?
(There was 3 seconds of silence)
Julie: But daddy, animal control will just put them in cages and experiment on them. I think we should... ask them what they are doing.
Dave: I know that, Julie. I know that. Well, gang, we must get back to our house, and wait... until we have our pets back. Okay?
Eric and Julie: Okay.
Amanda: Well, okay, whatever you say.
Dave: Good! Let's go!
(The Reefs then walked out of the police station and got into the van and drove away)
Part 5: Which Direction?
(Nature Cat and the rest saw the Reefs drive back home.)
Nature Cat: Phew! That was close. No one saw us.
Daisy: Man, oh man, you’re right, Nature Cat. I thought they might take us back to the pet store and we’d get put up for adoption.
Hal: What she said! Oh, wait, what are we supposed to do again?
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Daisy facepalmed)
Nature Cat: Oh, Hal.
Squeeks: Hey, you guys! We have to get to the TV station and broadcast our message to the entire city.
Nature Cat: Great idea, Squeeks. Once we get to the TV station, we’ll show these humans how much we care about nature, and how much they would care about nature, just as much as the neighborhood pets cared about nature. We have to make humans start caring about nature, otherwise, human tools and the advanced human technology will rise, nature will no longer exist, and then, once nature was gone and extinct, the planet will become a total mess! We can’t let that happen!
Daisy: We have to get there!
Nature Cat: Okay, lets go! Onward and yonward!
Squeeks: Wait, Nature Cat! Do you even know where the TV station is?
Nature Cat: I... believe... yes, I don't know where that is. Daisy?
(Daisy shows them her phone showing a GPS)
Daisy: All right, it says here that we need to go... all the way across the city... to get there!
Nature Cat: We don't have time to walk across the city!
Daisy: Oh wait, I have directions. Alright, we need to walk west two blocks to the train station, then take the blue line.
Nature Cat: Alrighty then, to the train station! Onward and westward!
(The camera changes scenes and we arrive to Nature Cat and the rest running down the sidewalk.)
Hal: Look OUT!!
(An angry dog chained to a street sign lunges at the four. They dodge it and continue running.)
All: AHHHHHH!!
(Nature Cat gets his foot stuck in gum, and soon he and his friends start the dance, with the music from "Box Office Bunny" plays in the background. After that, they stop.)
All: Phew!
Hal: Well, that was a close call.
Nature Cat: You're right! It sure is a close one.
(They continued running on the sidewalk through the city, until they see a crowd of people walking toward them)
Squeeks: EEK! Watch out!
(The group started to block them, and they dodge a mother and her baby in a stroller.)
Nature Cat: Oh dear, I'm so sorry.
Woman with Stroller: Oh my! Talking animals!
Nature Cat: Uh-oh. Let's get out of here!
(The woman then dials animal control on her smartphone)
Woman with Stroller: Hello, animal control, I’d like to report some animals that got infected with “Talking syndrome”. Please capture them! Thank you. 
(We go back to Nature Cat and his friends) 
Squeeks: Look! 
Daisy: The train station! We're almost there! 
Nature Cat: Uh-oh! 
(They turn and see animal control officers and cops pull up in patrol cars and proceed to block the sidewalk) 
Officer #1: Freeze! Alright, you cartoon character wannabes, your lives of being talking animals must come to an end… now! 
Squeeks: Oh my goodness! We'll need to jump! 
Hal: Okay! 
All: 1, 2, 3, Jump! 
(The group jump on top of an animal control officer's helmet, on the roof of a passing car, and land on the other side of the sidewalk. Then they made it to the entrance of the train station) 
Officer #1: 10-4. We lost them. They went into the metro. Keep an eye out. 
(The officers disperse and the sidewalk goes back to normal. We then see the shadow of two pigeons) 
Pigeon #1: Whew! I better tell the Hawk about this! 
(He flies off) 
Pigeon #2: Wait for me! 
(She flies off as well) 
Part 6: Counting the Stops
(Nature Cat and his friends are now in the Chicago Transit Authority Subway)
Nature Cat: So, now what?
Daisy: Let’s look at the directions. It says here… that once we get to the train station, we need to take the blue line 3 stops, then transfer to the red line.
Hal: Well, let's count the stops from from here.
(Hal points to the map)
Nature Cat: Great job, Hal!
Hal: Okay, um, let me see here. Okay, so there’s one… two… three… and four. Wait a second. The red line doesn’t meet the blue at this station. Why?
Daisy: I’m pretty sure you chose the wrong railway. That’s because you counted from this station. When you count forward, you start with the next station from here, see.
Nature Cat: I see. If we count from the next station, we go to the station that meets the red line!
Squeeks: All right then, I think we're all set!
(A soft rumble is heard as the train comes into the station. The group sneaks inside it on board as it leaves)
Nature Cat: Okay, guys, we’re in the train. Now we have to count how many stops until we get to the transfer station where the blue line meets the red line. Ready? Let’s count!
(They count the stops as they pass. Finally, they arrive at the transfer station)
Hal: Tah-dee!
All: Wahoo!
Nature Cat: We made it! Haha!
(They go to the red line platform)
Daisy: 5 minutes. Okay, stop the time! We're here!
(The group runs onto a arriving red train. Again, they count the stations as they pass and they arrive at the next transfer station. The scene changes to the group standing outside the station)
Nature Cat: Wow! That was great counting!
Daisy: I agree!
Squeeks: Me too!
Hal: Me too, too also! It totally helped! Wink wink!
Nature Cat: Now, where should we go to next?
Daisy: Now, we're on N State Street, so... we have to go east, and find the address that says 160 N State Street.
Nature Cat: Yes! Let's keep going! Tally-ho!
(Squeeks stopped him)
Squeeks: Wait! How are we going to get past the huge crowd of people without them seeing that we have "Talking syndrome"?
Hal: Hmmmm, what about that disguise you have, Nature Cat?
Nature Cat: Oh yeah! Nice one!
Daisy: Way to go, Hal!
Squeeks: You nailed it, bud.
Hal: Thanks, guys. I just reminded Nature Cat about the disguise we made. Wink wink!
Nature Cat: Now let's go. Tally-ho!
Part 7: The News Broadcast
(We see the group in the disguise that they used in "Where Have All The Butterflies Gone?!", "For the Birdies!", and "Earth Day Today")
Hal: Do you see it yet?
Nature Cat: Not yet. Wow! I can’t believe this. It’s so much more crowded here in the city than in the forest! The city, which was populated by so many humans, is more popular than the forest, which was populated by so many animals.
Daisy: Man, oh man, it certainly is considering we have only been here a few times before.
Squeeks: Look! There it is!
All: ABC 7 Eyewitness News! Yay!
Nature Cat: Now let's go.
(They walk past the window at the electronics store and they stopped at the store window to watch the news there)
Voiceover on TV: You're watching WLS-TV, ABC 7 Eyewitness News.
News Reporter: This just in, folks. A woman, with her baby in a stroller, saw 4 animals, which are a cat named Fred, also known as Nature Cat, of course I watched that show on PBS Kids, a dog named Hal, a rabbit named Daisy, and a mouse named Squeeks. These animals belong to a human family called the Reefs.
Nature Cat: What in the world?! How did that news reporter from the television news know who we are?
Daisy: Well, Nature Cat, I'm not so sure about this.
Hal: Yeah! We'll see about that!
Squeeks: Wait a minute! He's not finished yet!
News Reporter: The animals in question have a very special and rare disease called the “Talking syndrome”. She was so shocked, she dialed animal control on her smartphone, and the police and the animal control tried catching them, but were so close they missed. Fred’s human family, The Reefs, are trying to find their pets and save them from being in grave danger in the big city. In the other news, a large purple cat, which we mentioned earlier in the morning news, is now contacting the industrialists to help with a sort of plan. It is revealed in this plan that the cat, by the name of Ronald, wants to destroy the forest by evicting and killing all of the innocent animals that live there and cutting down all of the trees to make wooden products from his new wooden merchandise such as toys, pencils, paper, tools, and others. Ronald manages to succeed his plan, and when he does, he would get rid of each and every forest on Earth, and then take over the whole planet, and Ronald will make every animal and every human as his slaves. We can’t let that happen. That’s why we say “no” to harming nature and say “yes” to saving and taking care of nature. We can make Earth great again! That’s why we have to start caring about nature, and saving nature from harm of the greedy industrialists like Ronald, that lazy and fat purple cat who will someday become an industrialist. Come on, people, let’s go save nature and make Earth great again! Well, that’s all for today. This is WLS-TV, ABC 7 Eyewitness News. Thanks for watching, and we’ll be back after the commercials.
Daisy: Well, that's a relief. That means we didn't have to go inside the TV station to broadcast that message after all.
Hal: What she said!
Squeeks: Agreed! But, one question.
Nature Cat: What is it, Squeeks?
Squeeks: Well, I actually have two questions.
Nature Cat: Okay, what are they?
Squeeks: First question, how on earth are we gonna get home when we’re stuck at the big city in the middle of nowhere? Second, how are we gonna get home without animal control and police catching us?
Hal: Hmmmmm, maybe we should go back to where we started.
Daisy: That's true, but the animal control are probably over there already, along with the police, and they blocked the sidewalk.
(We pan to the animal control and the cops blocking the sidewalk)
AC Officer #1: No sign of animals with "Talking syndrome" yet.
AC Officer #2: We can't actually find them at the moment.
(We pan back to Nature Cat and Hal)
Nature Cat and Hal: Wait, what? Really?
Daisy: Yes, really. How are we going to get home now?
(Nature Cat thinks for a moment and then gets an idea)
Nature Cat: Aha! I got an idea! What if... we go back to where we came... the other direction, which is west?
Daisy: Oh, I think that’s a great idea, Nature Cat! We have to do what we did last time, but we just need to do it backwards.
Hal: Backwards? What do you mean?
Squeeks: Well, Hal, it means to do the opposite of what you did last time, like when we went east, we go west. You see, Hal, even though we’ve got here, we go back to where we started going here.
Hal: Oh! Now that makes more sense.
Nature Cat: Yes, yes, yes! Now, let's get back home! Tally-ho!
(Suddenly, they all fell over. The animal control then saw them and even the crowd pointed them out)
Woman #1: What on earth?
Man #1: Who are these guys?
Man #2: Looks like some people in cartoon character costumes but smaller in size. That's what I saw.
Woman #2: I think that's the animals that got infected with "Talking syndrome".
Man #1: Oh wow, you're right about that.
Nature Cat: Aw, snap!
AC Officer #1: Aha! Now I got ya!
Squeeks: Oh, my goodness! It's the animal control! They're coming right towards us, and they're catching us! Run for your lives!
(They all scream and they run away from the animal control)
AC Officer #1: Hey you! Come back here!
Part 8: The Chase
(The animal control started chasing them)
Daisy: Man, oh man, I told you we shouldn't have gone this way! I told you!
Nature Cat: You're right! We just fell over! Now we had to go the other way!
Daisy: Oh yeah. Sorry about that. Anyways, let's get out of here!
(We pan to the animal control running after them)
AC Officer #1: Hey guys, we need some backup!
AC Officer #2: Okay!
AC Officer #3: Okay!
AC Officer #4: Okay!
AC Officer #5: Well, okay then. Whatever you say, boss.
(One of the officers whistled for backup. We then see three of the officers riding on motorcycles while holding their nets)
Hal: Oh no! They're coming!
Squeeks: Look out! Net!
(The animal control officers chased after them)
All: AHHHH!!!!
Daisy: They're gaining on us!
(Squeeks looks back and then looked away to look at Nature Cat)
Squeeks: Quick! Let's hide somewhere!
Nature Cat: Great idea! Let's use camouflage. Tally-ho!
Squeeks and Daisy: Okay!
Hal: Alright! Everybody, hold on!
(They hide in the alley really fast)
AC Officer #4: What the? Where did they go?
AC Officer #6: I can't see them. They're gone!
AC Officer #1: Let's keep looking... Maybe they're at the department store. We just have to keep on trying.
AC Officer #7: Sure thing, boss.
AC Officer #8: Right away boss.
AC Officer #1: Alright! Everyone, let's move, move, move, move, move!
Part 9: Heading Back Home
(We then see the outlines of Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy)
Daisy (whispering): Phew! Man, oh man! That was super close!
Hal (whispering): It was, for sure, Daisy.
(A low bang is heard)
Squeeks: What was that?
Nature Cat: Huh? Who's there? Come out of here and show yourself!
(He gasped as he saw Sadie behind the garbage can)
Nature Cat: It's Sadie!
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Sadie!
Sadie: Hey guys!
Nature Cat: Sadie, oh, thank goodness it’s you. I thought you’re one of those animal control officers. Anyway, it’s so good to see you. So, how’s that new playground that we recreate for you many weeks ago?
Sadie: Oh, it was so awesome! I just love it! Thanks for the playground that you recreated, guys.
Nature Cat: You're welcome, Sadie. It's our pleasure. Oh hey, does anybody know how to get us back home to the woods?
(The Hawk appears)
Hawk: Maybe I can help.
(They all gasp)
All: It's the Hawk!
Hawk: Sup, guys.
Nature Cat: Hawk, I'm so glad to see you here. So, how did you get here?
Hawk: Well, the pigeon told me earlier about what happened. Then, I flew around the city to find you and here I am… in the alley.
Daisy: Okay. Well, is there a way to get to the woods without getting caught by animal control?
Sadie: Wait, what's going on here?
Nature Cat: Shhh! Sadie, this is a very important conversation with the hawk, so be quiet, please.
Sadie: Oh... Hehe, sorry.
(She sighed as the conversation continued)
Squeeks: Okay, now to make a very long story short, the humans found out and they caught us doing some human things with human actions. We got “talking syndrome.”
Hal: The animal control wanted to get us for some reasons.
Hawk: Hmmmm, sure thing, and what are they?
Hal: Well, first of all, they want us at the lab inside the local animal hospital to get cured from this “Talking syndrome” disease by veterinarians and animal scientists, second of all, humans don’t want us to talk or act like humans ever again just because we’re cartoon animals and not the animals from real life, and third of all, Fred’s owners, which are a human family called the Reefs, which consist of a man named Dave, his wife named Amanda, and their two precious children named Eric and Julie, wanted us to come home so we could get sent back to the pet store, and… and Dave will put us up for adoption, and we’ll get taken away by some strangers… forever.
Sadie: Wait, they found out?!
(Sadie gasps)
Sadie: Oh no! That means there will be no more talking and acting like humans, and no more being cartoon animals, now we’ll be like live-action animals, just some regular pets at the pet store!
Hal: Don't worry, Sadie. We're-
Nature Cat: Uh, Hal, we already knew what the humans saw as they found out about us having "Talking syndrome", remember?
Hal: Huh? Oh way. I'm not pulling that off again. Thanks, Nature Cat.
Hawk: Oh. That's what the pigeon also told me.
Pigeon #1: Sup, guys!
Hawk: Anyways, you're on the right track. Just keep going south. The woods should be right there.
Squeeks: Yes, but...unfortunately, we could get caught by the animal control.
Sadie: D’oh! Okay then, that’s not the good plan. Wait a minute, I’ve got something! Hmmmm… I wonder… how can we go back to the woods, without getting caught by the animal control?
(She thinks for a brief moment, and then a light bulb appears on top of her head and gets an idea)
Sadie: Wait a second. I got it! I have an idea!
Daisy: What is it, Sadie?
Sadie: Well, Daisy, to get to the woods, you should go south one block, then go east over the bridge for two blocks. It should be right here.
Nature Cat: Yes. That's a great idea! Thanks for the directions, Sadie.
Sadie: My pleasure.
Nature Cat: Okay guys, let's go to the woods! Onward and southward!
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Thank you, Sadie!
Sadie: You're welcome, guys! Call me when you get back home, okay? All right. Goodbye.
(The group then went out of the alley and went south one block, then went east over the bridge for two blocks, and went back to the woods)
 Part 10: Nature Cat Meets Catalina 
(We see Nature Cat and his friends walking in the woods while trying to get home)
Daisy: Man, oh man! That was a very intense adventure in the big city. Wasn't it, Nature Cat?
Nature Cat: Yeah, I guess so. It was fun though, and we saw Sadie there again. Yeah, it was fun... and, well, intense at times.
Hal: You're right, Nature Cat. Wink wink!
Squeeks: Guys, we’re almost back into our backyard. I mean, really! We’re just a couple of blocks away from here. We just… have to keep on walking… through the forest, until we find a way back home.
(We then pan up towards the inside of a large tree where we see a beautiful cat, Catalina, who is sitting on top of a branch and using her binoculars while she's spying on Nature Cat. Nature Cat then stopped, and his eye pupils then transformed into heart eyes after he turned around to look at Catalina. Nature Cat then purred and his ears twitched)
Nature Cat: Wh-wh-wh-who... who is that?
Hal: Nature Cat? Buddy? You okay over here?
Nature Cat: I... I... I... I think I'm in love.
Daisy and Squeeks: Ooooookay?
Daisy: Whaaaaat?
Squeeks: Hmmmm, that reminds me of Sir Galahad from… Heartthrob Hamster, the very first episode of “Nature Cat”.
Hal: Wait a second! Squeeks, did you break the fourth wall?
Squeeks: Wait... oh, darn it. I just broke the fourth wall. Someone made me do it. Okay, let's pretend that never happen...
Hal: Okay. Wink wink!
Nature Cat: Oh... my... gosh! She's beautiful!
(Catalina then jumped off from the branch and landed carefully on the ground)
Nature Cat: Holy sh-
(Daisy grabbed Nature Cat's lips to silence him)
Daisy: Whoa, hold on, Nature Cat! Not in front of the kids!
(She lets go of Nature Cat's lips)
Nature Cat (looking at the camera): Oh, sorry about that, kids.
(They then looked at each other)
Daisy: Please don’t use foul language in front of the children, Nature Cat. Man, oh man, you’re making this a very bad example by putting foul language on a children’s movie like the one we’re in right now.
Nature Cat: Okay, I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again.
Daisy: Good. Now let's stick to the script.
Nature Cat: Okay.
(Catalina then walked towards Nature Cat)
Catalina: Hello, handsome. What's your name?
Nature Cat: I’m… I’m… I’m… I’m Fred. I’m a housecat and a nature explorer, but my friends called me Nature Cat.
Catalina: Nature Cat, huh?
Nature Cat: Yeah, heh heh. I know, I loved exploring through the forest, because I love nature. I really do.
Catalina: Wait, really?
Nature Cat: Yes, really.
Catalina: No... way! Me too! That's purr-fect.
Nature Cat: Alright!
Catalina: Yeah!
(They smiled in joy)
Catalina: Oh, and not only do I explore through the forest and look at nature, but I can also draw, sketch, and paint pictures about nature, make nature animations from my YouTube channel, and make documentaries about nature. Oh, by the way, I’m not just any ordinary nature explorer, but I’m also an artist, a designer, an animator, a filmmaker, and a YouTuber.
Nature Cat: Wait a second! You have a YouTube channel? So, that means... you're an actual YouTuber? No way!
Catalina: Heh, you bet I do. Oh, and yes, I am a YouTuber.
Nature Cat: Cool! I wish I had a YouTube channel like yours.
Catalina: Well, maybe someday, you will have one. Well, I’d better get back to doing some… nature research for my next YouTube animation. Oh, by the way, my name is Catalina.
Nature Cat: It's nice to meet you, Catalina.
Catalina: Well, I'd better get going now. See ya, Nature Cat.
Nature Cat: Bye.
(Catalina slowly walks away while Nature Cat gets dizzy and faints)
Hal: Uh, Nature Cat? Buddy? You okay over here? Hello?
Squeeks: He had a crush on her, and her name is Catalina!
Daisy: Oh my, Nature Cat had a crush on a cat called… Catalina… who likes exploring the nature just as Nature Cat does? Whaaaaat?
Squeeks: I'll go get a bucket of water to wake him up. Coming, Hal?
Hal: Okay!
(Hal and Squeeks walked off-screen to fill up a bucket at the stream. The scene then transitions to an exhausted Daisy in the evening, lying down on the floor)
Daisy: Man, oh man. I’m completely exhausted, after all of the waiting and it’s evening already. I hope Squeeks and Hal returned with a full bucket of water so I can wake up Nature Cat.
(Hal and Squeeks then returned with a full bucket of water)
Squeeks: We're back!
Hal: It's back to back, baby!
Daisy: Squeeks, Hal, where have you guys been?
Squeeks: Why, we’re at the stream to fill up a bucket full of water, so maybe you can use it to wake up Nature Cat.
Hal: What she said!
Daisy: Phew! Thank goodness. Now to wake him up.
(Daisy then holds the bucket and dumps it right onto Nature Cat's face, waking him up)
Daisy: Nature Cat, are you okay?
Nature Cat: Oh, yes, I'm fine. Thank you.
Daisy: Now can we go home?
Nature Cat: Um, yes! Let's keep moving! Onward and yonward!
 Part 11: Nature Cat Explains to his Owners 
(They continued walking through the forest until they finally got to the backyard to where Nature Cat's house was)
Nature Cat: Phew! Finally, we made it! Home at last!
All: Yay!
Hal: Yippe!
Nature Cat: Alright!
Squeeks: Let's go inside your house, Nature Cat.
Daisy: I agree. Let's go in. Uh-oh.
Nature Cat: What's wrong, Daisy?
Daisy: I'm not sure if our owners are still upset.
Hal: Oh, that's true.
Nature Cat: Yes, well, it might be best to explain everything...
(Nature Cat becomes afraid and he gulps)
Nature Cat: …and to tell my owners… the truth about us… having “Talking syndrome”, and how we act like humans.
Daisy: Yeah, it would be a shame to let our owners send us back to the pet store and put us up for adoption.
Nature Cat: Now don’t you worry, you guys, there’s nothing for you to worry about. Everything’s going to be okay.
(Once they all got inside the house, they saw Nature Cat's owners. They got shocked and they gasped)
Nature Cat: Oh, my goodness.
Dave: Aha! Now I found you!
Amanda: Welcome home!
Eric: We sure missed you!
Julie: I agree with the rest of my family!
Nature Cat: But... but... but... I can explain.
Dave: Okay, Fred, I know that you can talk and act like a human while you got infected with the “Talking syndrome”, along with your other friends, but…
Nature Cat: But... but what?
Daisy: Nature Cat, let him finish.
Dave: Well, unfortunately, since you and your friends have been infected with the “Talking syndrome”, I’m afraid we have no other choice, but… but to put you all up for adoption.
Nature Cat: Wait, what?
Squeeks and Hal: What?
Daisy: Whaaaaat?
Dave: You heard me! I’m taking you back to the pet store, sell you back to the owners of the pet store, get my money back, and… put you all up for adoption, so someone can adopt you and take care of you properly.
Nature Cat: But... but... but... that's impossible! I can't believe it! How on earth did you know all of that?
Dave: I was watching the news this morning for Pete's sake.
Nature Cat: Oh… that. Okay. But still, you’re going to take us back to the pet store and put us up for adoption?
Dave: I'm afraid so.
Amanda: Dave was right, you know.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy got shocked)
Eric: Wait! Dad, why do you want to put them up for adoption just for money? That’s not right.
Julie: I agree with my brother. That's not fair. You can't do that.
Nature Cat: I agree with Eric and Julie. You can't do that to me, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy. It's not fair!
Hal: What they said!
Dave: But... but guys, I... (sighs) I have to take them back to the pet store and put them up for adoption, so I can get a refund.
(Eric, Julie, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy gasped, and Dave sighed)
Dave: Listen, Eric, Julie, those pets are not real animals, they’re just cartoons stuck in the real world. I can’t have cartoon animals in my house, because then, I’ll get cartoon fever.
(Eric sighs and looks at him)
Eric: Look, dad, here is how putting up for adoption works. You’re supposed to put them up for adoption only if the pet or pets did something really bad or continuous bad things. Our pets didn’t even do anything wrong in this. You see, dad, they just talk, walk, run, eat, drink, swim, jump, and act like humans like us. But putting those pets for adoption just because they have the disease that make them act like humans? I don’t think so.
Julie: Yeah. They just have “Talking syndrome”. What’s wrong with that? Heck, the show from PBS Kids called Martha Speaks has a dog named Martha talking in it and nobody minded it. Okay, maybe in the first episode, but you get the idea.
Hal: What they said... uh, again.
Amanda: I'm starting to see your point. You have a phone?
Daisy: Yes, I sure have one. Here you go.
(Daisy hands her smartphone over to Amanda)
Amanda: Thank you, Daisy.
Daisy: You’re welcome. Anyways, take a look at all of the things we have done to help animals care about nature and to save nature.
Nature Cat, Hal, and Dave: Like what?
Daisy: Well, it was the time where we saved the marsh from pollution by taking garbage, junk, and plastic items out of the marsh. We also saved the forest, the beach, and the sea from plastic pollution, because they have the same fate as the marsh.
Squeeks: There is also the time where we got my favorite tree up for the opossum family after high winds knocked it over.
Hal: Oh yeah. There’s also a time where me, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Daisy made recyclable Valentine gifts.
Nature Cat: We told the animals not to throw away pumpkins because there can be so many uses for them. We even won the band competition using instruments from raw environmental material from the beach.
Squeeks: We even helped a toad to get a place to hibernate.
Daisy: So you see, we've actually helped others care about nature while having the “Talking syndrome.”
Dave: Hmmm. Go on.
Nature Cat: Plus, even with the disease, we still have the same features like I am still afraid of water. I still can get scared of things. Hal has his doghouse and his favorite chew toy, Mr. Chewinsky.
Daisy: Yeah. When we're moving around, I mostly hop instead of running.
Squeeks: I still love cheese. I remember saying "MOON CHEESE!"
Nature Cat: Even though we’re talking and doing other human actions, we still have the same animal features, and deep inside our bodies, we're still animals.
(Dave thinks for a moment)
Dave: Hmmmmm, now what am I going to do with these pets?
Eric: Make a portal to the cartoon world, so that way, Nature Cat, or Fred, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy would live there instead of here in the real world. In fact, if they plan for a visit back to the real world, I’m pretty sure they’ll visit us again real soon.
Dave: Good thinking. Oh, by the way, Fred, I’m not just a pet owner or a businessman, but I’m also an inventor. I’ll start working on it right now. That way, you can live in the cartoon world, and… if you want, you could come back and visit us again in the real world very soon. I’ll do it right now.
Hal: Alright! Plug it in, plug it in!
(Dave began working on the portal while the rest helped him. Finally, they finished it just in time)
Dave: Okay, guys. Here it is. The portal to the cartoon world. I’m sure you’ll live there instead of the real world with us.
Nature Cat: Thanks, Dave. That way, on special occasions, we’ll come back and visit your house again real soon. Well, in that case, I’ll see you soon. Oh hey, maybe tomorrow, we can hang out again.
Dave: Okay, Bye.
All: Bye!
Hal: Goodbye, it's me, Hal!
(The group went through the portal to the cartoon world and the portal then shuts down)
Dave: Phew! Well, that's a relief.
Amanda: Oh, please. Tell me about it.
 Part 12: Back to the Real World 
(We fade to the Reefs' house in the mortning. Dave then walked into the living room and sits down to watch the news on TV. Meanwhile in the cartoon world, Nature Cat turns on the portal to the real world)
Nature Cat: Okay guys, this is it! Time to go back to the real world! Tally-ho!
Hal: What he said!
(The group went through the portal to the real world and ended up in the living room. Amanda, Eric, and Julie then showed up)
Dave: Oh! Hey, Nature Cat. So, how’s your new home at the cartoon world?
Nature Cat: It… was… awesome! We stayed there for the night, and the cartoon world was much better than the real world. We liked it there.
Dave: Good! I'm glad you liked it.
Amanda: So, what do you and your friends like to do?
Nature Cat: Well, guys, me and my friends are just going to the forest, and then, we’ll have to check on our neighbor Ronald, to make sure he’s not doing something bad.
Dave: Hmmmmmm, okay. Come back inside whenever you need to.
Eric: I agree with my dad, and try to remember not to go too far, or you’ll end up getting lost like last time.
Nature Cat: Okay, we won't.
Dave: Good. Now go outside and do whatever you want.
Nature Cat: Okay, Dave. We'll be back. Onward and yonward!
(We see the group in the backyard)
Nature Cat: Guys, the afternoon news from yesterday was right. Ronald is planning to get rid of nature… for good. If Ronald gets rid of nature for good, Earth will no longer exist and will become a total mess, and if he does that, he’ll take over the planet and make every animal and every human as his slaves. We can’t let that happen. We’ve gotta do something… something.
(Amanda then went to see Daisy)
Amanda: Daisy, I really like your phone. I should keep it as my new permanent phone. Anyways, I bought you a spare smartphone.
(She gives her a spare smarphone)
Daisy: Thanks, Amanda.
Amanda: You're welcome. Well, have fun.
(Amanda went back inside)
 Part 13: Spying Ronald 
Nature Cat: Hmmmmm, how on earth are we going to stop Ronald from trying to destroy nature for good?
Squeeks: Maybe we could spy on Ronald, and we have to make sure that Ronald will never do something bad. Once he does, we'll stop him.
Daisy: Good idea!
Hal: Alright, "Panthers." Let's see what he is doing.
(We see the group spying on Ronald, who is on the phone calling the industrialists)
Ronald (on phone): Hi, this is Ronald speaking, and, uh, I need your help. You see, I always hated nature because of the following reasons. Someone has been bitten by mosquitoes, some got sprayed by skunks, some get poisoned by ivy, and now, someone got stung by some bees. I’ve had enough with nature, and I want to get rid of it now! You hear me? I want nature to be destroyed now, for good.
Daisy: (gasps) Oh no! This... does not look good.
Ronald (on phone): Okay, you fools, I want nature to go away, and I really mean I want nature to be destroyed… for good. What? Bad, I'm… I’m not bad, I'm… I’m just a good guy, you'll see, just watch… as I get rid of the animals, the plants, and the trees, to get rid of each and every forest in the world. I’ve been planning to do this in a very long time since PBS Kids aired Nature Cat’s very own show. Please come to my backyard whenever you’re ready. Okay? Okay, good. Okay, I’ll see you later. Okay, bye.
(Ronald then hangs up)
Ronald: Oh boy! Why would someone call me a bad kitty? Was it because I’m just lazy to be good and stay busy being an evil villain? Yeah, I think so. Anyways, let’s just get this stupid plan over with. I mean, how bad can this possibly be?
 Part 14: Captured! 
(Nature Cat is shocked)
Nature Cat: Oh, my goodness. Ronald’s going to destroy us… and he’ll get of nature… for good. We can’t let happen. We can’t let Ronald delete and ruin nature for good. Guys, we have to stop him!
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Whaaaat?
Nature Cat: We have to stop Ronald from cutting down the trees of our forest and expelling and killing the animals that lived there.
Squeeks: How are we going to do that?
Nature Cat: Just come on, wear your armor, grab your weapons, come with me, follow my lead, and just go along, okay?
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Yes, sir!
Nature Cat: Good. Now let's get going! Tally-ho!
(The four wear their armor and they grab their swords and their bow & arrows and head out to find Ronald)
Daisy: Um, Nature Cat, are you sure this is a good idea?
Nature Cat: Of course, Daisy. Now, let's do this! Tally-ho!
(We see Ronald relaxing on a hammock)
Ronald: Aargh! Why is it taking so long? The industrialists that I called on my phone should have arrived at my backyard a while ago. Gee, this is totally getting nuts.
(He takes a sip of his lemonade. Soon, he is startled by Nature Cat)
Nature Cat: Aha! Now I found you!
(He spits out the lemonade in surprise)
Nature Cat: Well well well, if it isn’t Ronald, my arch nemesis and rival. We just heard that you, along with the industrialists you called, are going to destroy the forest by expelling and killing all of the innocent animals and cutting down all of the trees. Right?
Ronald: Ugh, of course, you fools. Me and the industrialists are going to destroy this forest, and after that, we’ll get rid of every forest on Earth, and I… I will be the new king of planet Earth, take over the whole planet, and make each and every one of you, humans and animals, as my slaves. Guards! Take them away.
(Ronald's guards then captured the four, stuffed them in a sack, and they give the sack to the animal control officers. They put the sack in the van, get inside the same van, and drove away through the distance)
Ronald: Yes! They’re gone! Now, with Nature Cat and his friends gone, nothing can stop me! Mwahahahahahaha! Nice work, boys! Now, let’s get this plan started, and I’m going to see nature kiss Earth goodbye.
 Part 15: Catalina's Rescue 
(Catalina suddenly heard what was going on and saw that they got taken)
Catalina: Oh no! Nature Cat and his friends were captured by the animal control, and they're about to turn them back to real animals. What on earth should I do?
(She thinks for a moment)
Catalina (in thoughts): Hmmmm, maybe Nature Cat knows that I’ve mastered the ninja skills, and he also found out that not only am I an explorer, an artist, an animator, and a filmmaker, but I’m also a pussycat ninja.
(She gets an idea)
Catalina: That's it! I'll go and get reinforcements, so they can help me find Nature Cat and his friends.
(Meanwhile, in the animal control van, we see Nature Cat and his friends in depression)
Nature Cat: (sighs) What have we done? Now the animal scientists will get rid of the “Talking syndrome” disease, and they’ll get it away from us, and if they did, we’ll become boring real-life animals again. Sigh!
Squeeks: Now what are we going to do?
Daisy: Well, guys, there’s nothing we can do, but to be experimented and cured by the animal scientists and doctors from the “Talking syndrome” disease. We’re doomed, we’re all doomed! Doomed! Doomed, I tell ya! Doomed! Sigh!
(Suddenly, a low bang is heard)
Nature Cat: Okay, what is it now?
(The bang gets louder and louder, until a claw pops up on the ceiling of the van)
Nature Cat: Hey! Who's there? Come out of there and show yourself!
(The claw makes a shape of a circle, creating a hole on the roof. Then the claw disappeared for a moment, and Catalina pops up from the van's ceiling)
Catalina: Hey, Nature Cat!
Nature Cat: Whoa! Catalina, it’s so good to see you. Hey, listen, you have to get us out of here, because the animal control officers are going to put us all into cages, and… and then, they’re gonna experiment on us.
Catalina: Experiment on you? What?
(Daisy showed her the video of the cat getting cured on her smartphone)
Daisy: That's why.
Catalina: Oh heck, no! I don't want you to be experimented like that poor cat from that video! Come on, we have to get you out of here.
(She went down the hole and landed on the van's floor)
Catalina: Hop in! I'll boost you up through that hole I made.
Nature Cat: Sure thing, Catalina, whenever you say!
(He went through the hole, out of the van, and landed on the grassy field)
Nature Cat: Come on, you guys! Let's get out of here!
Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy: Okay!
(The three then go through the hole)
Hal: Wheee!
Squeeks: Yahoo!
Daisy: Woohoo!
(They got out of the van and landed on the grassy field)
Nature Cat: Oh, my gosh! Is everyone okay here?
Daisy: Super duper, Nature Cat.
Hal: (laughs) That was fun! Let's do that again!
 Part 16: Hal Meets Hayley 
Nature Cat: (thinking) Hmmm... where are we?
Squeeks: I don't know, Nature Cat.
Daisy: Neither do I.
Catalina: Yeah, I would definitely agree with you.
Hal: Uhh, guys...
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, and Catalina: Yes, Hal?
Hal: I think I saw a dog, I think I'm having one of those mirages, and this one's a beauty.
(Hal begins to look at Hayley, which made his pupils turn into hearts, his tail starts to wag, and his mouth starts to drool)
Nature Cat: Uhh, Hal? What are you doing?
Hal: Shhh, Nature Cat, please, let me enjoy this.
(Hayley slowly waked towards Hal)
Hayley: Hey.
Hal: Hey there. How are you doing?
Hayley: Good! How are you?
Hal: Good! What's your name?
Hayley: My name is Hayley. What's yours?
Hal: Uhh... I'm Hal!
Hayley: Nice to meet you, Hal. Hey, are you going to stop Ronald from trying to destroy our forest?
Hal: Well, with my friends, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Daisy on my side, yes. Yes we are. But… I must warn you. There are a few dangerous obstacles once we get to Ronald’s house, so be careful.
Hayley: Okay! Uh, right! Uh, listen... I have to go back to my house. I think my owner's calling me. So yeah, nice seeing you.
Hal: Yeah, sure thing! Wink wink!
(Hayley giggled)
Hayley: You're funny! Well, I gotta go now. See you later, Hal. Bye!
Hal: Bye!
(Hayley walked away while Hal jumps to joy)
Hal: Yahoo! Oh my goodness, I think I'm in love.
(He skips around the field in joy)
Nature Cat: What's with him?
Squeeks: I think he’s in love. I can tell from the heart-shaped pupils in his eyes, and the tail wagging, and the mouth drooling. Wait a minute, dogs can drool?
Daisy: It is love.
Squeeks: Yeah, and he'll probably have puppies in the future, or somewhere one year later, or probably at the end of the movie.
Nature Cat: SQUEEKS!!
Squeeks: Oops, broke the fourth wall again. Sorry.
Nature Cat: Alright, let's keep moving.
Squeeks: Daisy, and Catalina: Okay!
(They keep walking)
Hal: Huh... Oh! Ah, wait for me, guys!
 Part 17: Making the Costumes 
(Hal catches up with the gang. Meanwhile, Ronald is commanding the industrialists to expel and kill animals and cut down the trees. We see them in the meeting room)
Ronald: Okay, guys. In order for each and every industry to be a lot more revolutionary, we have to cut down more trees and expel and kill animals in each and every forest, starting with the forest Nature Cat and his friends have been in. Right?
Industrialists: Yes, sir.
Ronald: Okay, men, let's get to work. This is gonna be epic!
(They went outside Ronald's house through the backyard. We then see Nature Cat, Catalina, Squeeks, Hal, and Daisy walking through the forest)
Nature Cat: (smiling at Catalina) Hey, listen, Catalina. Thank you for rescuing and saving us from those animal control officers. We would have been goners if it weren’t for you and your ninja skills.
Catalina: You’re welcome, Nature Cat. So glad that I came to help you and save you from those humans that tried to get you back into normal and boring real-life animals.
(Nature Cat suddenly realizes about Ronald)
Nature Cat: Oh, darn.
Daisy: What's the matter, Nature Cat?
Nature Cat: Oh, Daisy, I’m still thinking about Ronald and the industrialists that he called on the phone yesterday.
Daisy: Why?
Nature Cat: Well, they’re going to get rid of nature, and Ronald will take over the whole Earth, and… and they’ll make every animal and every human as his slaves! I don’t want that to happen! We can’t let that happen!
Daisy: (gasps) Oh my goodness! Man, oh man, that stupid fat and lazy purple cat! He’d better not destroy the forest we’ve been in, or else, we will all be doomed without nature! Doomed!
Nature Cat: Don’t worry, Daisy, we have to go and get reinforcements, so they can help us defeat Ronald and the industrialists, which are his henchmen.
(They stop at the gate to Ronald's backyard, and Hal peeked through the hole)
Hal: Oh no! There's no way we can defeat Ronald and his henchmen now!
Squeeks: What are we going to do now, Nature Cat?
Daisy: Yeah, Nature Cat, what are we going to do?
(Nature Cat thinks for a brief moment, and then gets an idea)
Nature Cat: Aha! I know what we're going to do!
Daisy: Really? What is it?
Nature Cat: All we have to do is disguise ourselves as guards, enter Ronald’s house as guards, and then, we will foil Ronald’s plans by burning all of the files for Ronald’s plans down, including the one that will get rid of nature for good, so that way, they’ll never be put into action, and then, Ronald will get caught by the animal control, and he will get sent to animal jail.
Hal: Now that's a great idea!
Squeeks: Yes!
Daisy: Totally!
Catalina: Great idea, Nature Cat. Yeah, about the guards, why not make costumes of guards? Not only that I visualize nature on screen, and not only am I a ninja, but I’m also a costume designer and a seamstress.
All: Oooh!
Catalina: Watch... and... learn.
(Catalina sets up her portable costume-making machine, which comes with a sewing machine and a desk. Then, Catalina takes out her art kit. Next, she drew a costume design on a desk for a guard costume. Finally, the costume-making machine scans the design, and it spawns a real guard costume made from cloth)
Hal and Catalina: Tah-dee!
Catalina: Um, Hal, you're blocking someone's view.
Hal: Oops! Sorry.
(Hal walks away and Nature Cat and his friends finally saw an actual guard costume made from cloth)
Catalina: Now, tada!
All: Aaah!
Nature Cat: Nice costume!
Catalina: Yep, I made it myself... out of cloth.
Nature Cat: Cool! Okay, guys, let's get sewing!
(We cut to a montage of Catalina sewing costumes of guards with Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, and Hal helping her. We cut back to Nature Cat, Catalina, Squeeks, Daisy, and Hal, fully clothed in their guard costumes)
Nature Cat: Awesome! We did a very good job sewing and making these costumes. Alright, gang, let’s pretend to be guards, and blend in with the rest of Ronald’s guards. Onward and forward!
(He runs, but stopped and looked back with his friends who aren't moving)
Nature Cat: Oops! I mean... onward and yonward!
(The five then run towards the gate to Ronald's backyard to try to blend in with Ronald's guards)
 Part 18: Attack of the Bears! 
(We see Ronald's guards blocking the gate, and we pan to the five hiding in the bushes)
Nature Cat: Okay, we need some animals to distract the guards.
(While he's thinking, he takes out a fish from his pocket, and a light bulb appears and he got an idea)
Nature Cat: That's it!
(He gently places the fish on the ground and the two guards saw it, and one of them picked it up)
Guard #1: Hmmm, where did this come from?
Guard #2: I don't know.
(All of a sudden, they saw a gigangic herd of 9,000 bears chasing after the fish)
Guard #1: What in the world?!
Guard #2: Oh my goodness! It's a stampede! RUN!
(The bears charged at the two guards and they stepped on the two guards as they bust down the gate and enter Ronald's backyard)
Worker #1: Stampede! That's it! I'm no longer working for Ronald! He's just as useless as jaguar bait! Well, that's it! I'm outta here!
Worker #2: Um, me too.
Worker #3: Me three.
Worker #4: Me too, too also!
Hal: Hey, that's my line!
Worker #4: Oops. Run!
(The leader shows up and commanded the other bears to run after Ronald's workers and attack them)
Bear Leader: Bears!
Bears: Yes, sir?
Bear Leader: There's a huge crowd of Ronald's henchmen at the front side of the house! Bear Squad 1, attack the workers at the front side of the house. Bear Squad 2, you're with me. After them!
Bears: Yes, sir!
(All of the workers run inside the house through the back door, but the bears broke down the door, and they attacked the workers. We see the five watching the bears attacking them off-screen)
Nature Cat: Hmmmm, maybe the attack of bears against human workers is a little… too extreme. Anyways, let’s go!
(They sneak into Ronald's backyard through the gate and snuck into Ronald's house while the bears went back to the forest where they belong. We cut to them inside the house)
 Part 19: A Confession to Make 
(We see the five inside the house. Suddenly, Nature Cat hears moaning)
Nature Cat: Uh, Hal, was that your stomach?
Hal: No! Um, I already ate dog food for breakfast this morning.
(They both hear the moaning)
Nature Cat: Are you sure it wasn't your stomach?
Hal: Nope.
Nature Cat: Well, let's see.
(They went to the living room and saw one of Ronald's (former) workers lying down on the floor, badly injured by the herd of bears)
Nature Cat: Holy fishsticks! It's one of Ronald's workers!
Hurt Worker: Uhh? Uh oh! Ow, I… I think I hurt my spine. Ouch! Ooh, ooh ooh. Ooh! Ow, I think I just fractured my ulna.
Nature Cat: (grabs the worker by the shirt) Alright, you maniac! Who made you follow the plan of destroying and getting rid of nature for good? Who sent you to stop me and my friends from defeating Ronald? Answer me! Answer me!
Hurt Worker: Oh, it… it was that… that fat and lazy purple cat named… named… Ronald, who… who made me… me and the rest of my… my human friends… follow the plan of getting rid of nature, starting with the forest you and your friends have been going to, many times already. He sent me to stop you from defeating him, and he did this to not only stop you from defeating Ronald, but to also kill you and your friends.
Nature Cat: Really? Where is he?
Hurt Worker: He’s… he’s at his room, planning to get rid of every forest on Earth, even the Amazon and even Fedex, and… and he also plans to… to take over the whole Earth, and… and… and…
Nature Cat: Yes?
Hurt Worker: Once… once he takes over the whole entire… uhhhh, the whole entire planet, he’ll… he’ll make every human and… and every animal, like us, as Ronald’s slaves. He… he has been working on this plan for a very, very long time since… since your show aired on PBS Kids.
Nature Cat: Sl- sl- sl- slaves! Slaves! Oh no! That’s bad! That sure is bad! That is so bad! So, why did Ronald make you follow his plan?
Hurt Worker: Well, it's because that Ronald can be like the God of Industries, and he is, so, you must be the God of Nature. Right?
Nature Cat: Yes, well, wh- why did he force you to get rid of the forest by expelling and killing all of the animals and cutting down the trees, and… and why did he sent you to not only stop me from defeating Ronald and foiling his plans, but to kill me and my friends as well?
Hurt Worker: Well, Ronald sent me to stop you from… from defeating Ronald and… and to kill you and your friends, because… because… because he knew that you would… you would… stop him and foil his plans while working on the other plan, the plan… that will get rid of nature… for good, and… and if… if he does that, and… and if he succeeded his plan, then you would… you would no longer… explore and take care of nature again. You hear me? Do ya… you would… uhhhh.
Nature Cat: No! Not like this!
Hurt Worker: You would... uhhhhh.
Nature Cat: No! I need information!
(He tried to get more information, but then the worker suddenly died. He let go of the worker's shirt, and then the worker fell and lied down dead)
Nature Cat: Oh no! Looks like the worker is dead. Why is Ronald after me? Why did Ronald sent you to stop me from defeating him? Why did he sent you to kill me and my friends?
(Nature Cat started to cry)
Squeeks: Please don't cry, Nature Cat.
(Daisy started to cry, too)
Daisy: Yeah. (sniffling) It's crying for good.
Squeeks: Oh no, we're about to cry, too.
(Then Catalina, Hal, and Squeeks started to cry as well)
Hal: It's beautiful.
Catalina: I would definitely agree with you.
(Hal sniffs and Squeeks takes out a tissue and blows her nose while still crying)
Hal: It’s so sad, but it’s beautiful. Would someone give Nature Cat an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role?
(Nature Cat sniffs while crying. Soon, he was given the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role)
Nature Cat: Oh, thank you! You love me! You really love me!
(He feels better and so do his friends)
Nature Cat: Okay, guys, we wasted enough time. Let’s get this movie on the road! Let’s… find… Ronald. Tally ho!
(They ran upstairs to find Ronald)
 Part 20: Nature Cat vs. Ronald 
(They arrive at Ronald's room)
Nature Cat: Well, we're here!
(He bursted down the door to Ronald's room)
Nature Cat: Aha! Now I found you!
Ronald: NATURE CAT!! You're still here!?! But... but... but... but I thought you were caught along with your friends by the animal control.
Nature Cat: That’s when you’re wrong, Ronald, for Catalina had successfully rescued and saved us from the animal control van. Now we’re here to stop you and foil your stupid evil plans.
(He takes out his sword)
Nature Cat: All right, Ronald! En garde!
Ronald: Oh, ho ho. A sword fight! Well, two can play in that game!
(Ronald takes out his sword)
Ronald: Come on! Bring it on, old man! Bring it on!
Nature Cat: Oh, you're on! Come at me, bro!
(They use their swords and they both begin a sword fight. Ronald tried to slice Nature Cat in half, but Nature Cat dodges and Ronald missed)
Nature Cat: Ha! You missed!
Ronald: Darn it! Watch out, Nature Cat! I'm gonna kill you for this!
(He dodges again, and Ronald missed again)
Nature Cat: Ha! You missed again!
Ronald: Grr, not again!
Nature Cat: My turn!
(He uses the sword to slice one of Ronald's whiskers off)
Ronald: Noooo! Not my good-looking whiskers! Grrrrr! You, you idiot! You sliced one of my whiskers! Now, you'll pay for this!
(Nature Cat gets angry at him)
Nature Cat: Oh yeah? Come get a load of this!
(He punches Ronald in the face)
Ronald: OWWW!!!! You punched me in the face!
Nature Cat: Told ya!
Ronald: That's it! I'm not going to lose the fight to a cat who is obsessed with nature! Nobody should win this fight but me!
Nature Cat: Oh, yeah? Well, you should stop hurting nature and start saving it and caring about it. You hate nature, don’t ya? Well, now you’re going to pay for this. Touché!
(He swings his sword, and its blade slices through Ronald's fur, and Ronald makes his attempt to escape, but Nature Cat got into Ronald's way)
Ronald: Grrrr! Get out of my way, you stupid cat!
(He shoves Nature Cat backward and slashes at him with his sword for good measure. The sword connects with Nature Cat's arm. He grimaces with pain)
Ronald: I want nature to be destroyed for good!
Nature Cat: Ronald, don't you dare!
(Ronald then leaps at him and tries to grab his hat)
Nature Cat: No!
(He runs up and kicks Ronald off his chest and Catalina runs up towards Ronald, looking furious)
Catalina: How dare you attacked my Nature Kitty like that!
(Nature Cat got away from Ronald and leaped out of the house through the window and into the backyard)
Nature Cat: Ugh, what just happened?
(Ronald then opens the curtains and puts his head between the window)
Ronald: Here's Ronald!
(He gasps, and runs way and touches the dead end wall, which is actually a fence)
Nature Cat: Oh no! It's a trap! It's a dead end!
Ronald: Haha! Now I got you!
(Daisy kicked him out of the house through the window and into the backyard, sprawling in the mud. Catalina runs outside and gets mad at Ronald)
Catalina: Ronald, you must stop this nonsense at once! You should know better than to attack someone. You must stop!
Ronald: Hahaha!!!! I wouldn't dare, if I were you! Nothing is going to stop me now! So that means you wouldn't try stopping me!
Catalina: Oh, yeah! It's bullet time, girl!
(She went to bullet time, when Ronald turns his sword into a gun and tries to shoot her, but so close in slow motion, he missed)
Catalina: Now to karate chop at you!
(She does a ninja yell, and she uses her ninja skills to karate chop at Ronald, and she also punched him in the nose)
Ronald: Oh! You punched my nose! You're hurting it!
Catalina: You’re not going to destroy nature, because Nature Cat here is saving nature… from the hands of… you!
(She takes out her sword and started sword-fighting with Ronald)
Nature Cat: Hey, Catalina! Kick Ronald back to Hong Kong, will ya?
Catalina: Sure thing, Nature Cat! Wait, where did I remember that?
Ronald: Argh! Grrr, it was you! You karate chopped me!
(Catalina tries to slash Ronald out to Hong Kong, but Ronald ducks as Catalina's sword strikes chips from the rock behind his head)
Nature Cat: Wow! You let him get away. What a shame. Stand back, Catalina. I’m going to finish Ronald, if it’s the last thing I do.
(The fight resumes. He strikes furiously at Ronald, but Ronald's greater size and strength finally sends Nature Cat tumbling from the top of the rock face down into the mud. Ronald descends from the top slowly, savoring the moment)
Ronald: No! That’s impossible! Nature Cat was like the God of Nature, and he wanted to destroy everything humans have created! I've learned this much: Take what you can, when you can!
Nature Cat: Then you've learned nothing!
Ronald: (sighs) Alright, I guess I learned my lesson.
(He starts kneeling on the ground and bowing to Nature Cat, begging for mercy)
Ronald: Nature Cat! I'm sorry for trying to destroy nature for you! Just please, don't kill me! Have mercy!
Nature Cat: Pfft, that was so pathetic. No mercy!
(Ronald then gets angry at Nature Cat again and he raises his sword to strike, but Nature Cat gets his feet under a piece of wreckage and kicks it up, blocking Ronald's path. Nature Cat gets up and the fight continues… briefly. Nature Cat strikes low, under Ronald's sword, piercing him in the belly. Ronald screams in pain and drops his sword. A short distance away, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, and Catalina saw the fight. Nature Cat turns to his friends, and throws his sword away)
Nature Cat: Phew! What a relief. Friends… tonight, we journey back to the cartoon world. We will leave no tracks. No evidence that Ronald will stop destroying nature, but a lot of evidence that he will continue on destroying nature… Come.
(However, unseen, Ronald has picked up his sword again and crept up the rock to get the drop on Nature Cat, so he pushed the rock down the hill. Catalina notices the rock and gasps)
Catalina: Nature Cat, look out!
(He looks back and saw the rock coming towards him)
Nature Cat: Oh my goodness!
(He whirls and moves out of the way)
Ronald: D'oh! Darn it! That's it! You're going to get it now, Nature Cat!
(He laughs evily and raises his sword to strike again, but Catalina pulls out a dagger from the pocket of her dress)
Catalina: Hasta la vista, human's pet!
(She throws her dagger at Ronald's back, causing him to scream in pain, and he topples from the top of the stone and plummets to the ground dead)
Hal: Yeah! it hurts, doesn’t it. Hey, I think Ronald got killed.
 Part 21: Nature is Saved! 
(Catalina, Squeeks, Hal, Daisy, and the rest of the animals from the forest gather around and examine Ronald's dead body. Nature Cat begins to look at it, and sadly begins to walk away. He knew that the animals are realizing Ronald was responsible for attempting to destroy nature for good)
Nature Cat: Well, this is it. Ronald… is now dead. He tried to become a violent psychopath, and he tried to kill me, but…
(He then realizes that Ronald's actually dead, so he smiled)
Nature Cat: But I'm glad he's dead.
Squeeks: Yeah!
Daisy: Alright!
Catalina: We did it, Nature Cat! You saved us from the violent Ronald! Thank goodness he's dead for real, and he's gone. Nature has been saved!
Nature Cat: It sure is!
Daisy: Yeah, me too!
Hal: Me too, too also!
(Hal then saw Hayley again)
Hayley: Hal.
Hal: Hayley.
Hayley: We did it! We actually did it! You let Nature Cat won the war, and now, thank goodness, Ronald was dead. Nature was safe once again. Soon, we'll get married and have puppies.
Hal: Puppies?
(We transition a dream sequence of Hal and Hayley getting married. We then cut to Hayley at the animal hospital where she was pregnant and she gives birth to some newborn dream puppies. We transition back to where Hayley started)
Hayley: Yeah! We'll give birth to them later on.
Hal: Okay then.
Hayley: Yeah! I'm sure you'll love puppies, and of course, you are going to be a very nice father soon.
Hal: Really? Like, you mean it?
(We transition to a second dream sequence of Hal and Hayley having their dream puppies and spending time with them. We transition back to a happy Hal)
Hal: Oh my goodness! I'm going to be a father!
Hayley: (shakes her head) Not yet, Hal. Not just yet.
Hal: Oh, right! Sure thing, for your consideration!
Nature Cat: Wait, did you hear something?
Catalina: Nope.
Daisy: (gasps) Nature Cat, it's your favorite band!
(Nature Cat gasps in surprise as he saw the band members of Dog Gone appear on a 4-wheel stage cart)
Nature Cat: Oh boy, I love this band!
Squeeks: I know, right!
Daisy: This is awesome!
Squeeks: So, now can we go to the end of the movie?
Hal: SQUEEKS!!
(She realizes that she broke the fourth wall too many times)
Squeeks: Oops, sorry. Wait a minute, that goes to a fourth wall within a fourth wall, making it a sixteenth wall. So now, like I said, I promise I won’t do it again. Like, I really promise!
Hal: So, that clears it off.
Nature Cat: Yep! It sure is. Now then, we will do the outro for the film and then... um, what are we going to put at the end of the film's outro?
Hal: Wait a minute! What about the mid-credits scene where me and Hayley are married and are having puppies, what about it?
Daisy: Yeah, and what about the post-credits scene where Ronald got resurrected by an angel dog from Heaven?
Squeeks: Yeah! What about them?
Nature Cat: Oh! Well... okay, but... yeah, sure, why not!
All: Alright, yeah!
Nature Cat: (to the audience) Okay then, well, that wraps up the movie, kids, it’s so good to see you here. We hope you enjoyed watching it! (to Daisy) It's so good to be here in the forest, huh, Daisy?
Daisy: It sure is, Nature Cat. It sure is!
Nature Cat: (to the audience) But, we'll see you guys in a direct-to-video sequel, and of course, you guys are sticking around to the mid-credits scene and the post-credits scene, and uhh... yeah, so... like I said, you're welcome, parents. Well, thanks for watching! See ya! Bye!
All: Bye!
(Nature Cat finished talking to the audience. Soon, he then walked with Catalina to the top of the hill, and they stood together, and shared a kiss, officially entering their relationship. We then pan up to a blue sky after the movie ends with a text that says "The End" in a Carton Six font.)
 Part 22: End Credits 
(The first part of the credits begin playing. After the first part of the credits were finished, we see the text "One Year Later..." fade in on a black background. After the text fades out, we see a house that is right next to Fred's house. We then fade into the inside of Hal's house. Inside, we see a picture of Hal and Hayley on their wedding day)
Hal (off-screen): Hey kids, daddy's home!
(The camera then goes to the right, and we see Hal and Hayley's puppies bouncing on the baby crib)
Hal & Hayley's Kids: Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
Squeeks (off-screen): I knew it! Anyways, roll the credits!
(Suddenly, the film stops and it cuts to the black background revealing Nature Cat and Squeeks)
Nature Cat: I heard that!
Squeeks: Sorry!
(The screen then fades to black and the scrolling credits began playing, with the music "Call to Adventure" by Kevin MacLeod playing. After the credits finished, we fade into Ronald at his backyard, where we still see Ronald lying dead. Suddenly, a female angel dog came down and she saw Ronald's dead body)
Angel Dog: Hmmmmmm. Looks like Ronald's dead.
(She looked at the camera and shrugged)
Angel Dog: Oh well, time to resurrect him.
(So, she used her magic finger, and when she touched Ronald's dead body, he came back to life in his new body, which is a brand new and clean replica to his old body)
Angel Dog: There! That's better. Well, my work here... is done.
(The angel dog flew back to heaven, and Ronald finally woke up. He looked around the backyard and then at the camera)
Ronald: For the record, I am not dead for the whole Nature Cat series. Just for this movie. Hope you enjoyed. Okay, I know! I’m sorry, and I promise I’ll never hurt nature ever again. Goodbye.
(After he finished talking to the audience, he suddenly died... again, probably until the second season of Nature Cat. The scene then fades to black, ending the movie)
(Shows the Destination Films closing variant with the text "Released by Destination Films, A Sony Company.")
(Fades to black.)
