Cat Snatch Fever

***Cat Snatch Fever*** is the third episode from the first season of *Perfect Hair Forever*. It first aired on December 4th, 2005 on *[Adult Swim]*.

## Plot

The Inappropriate Comedy Tree joins Gerald and Action Hotdog on their quest. They were then accosted by a tornado. Uncle Grandfather watches in amusement from his roof. Upon going back inside, Rod suddenly appears before him and tells Uncle Grandfather that Gerald and Co. are still alive. Uncle Grandfather summons a very big hotdog bun to ensnare him. Rod disappears, and Uncle Grandfather sends the bun to find Gerald, and tell him a message to warn him about the Secret Military Police manipulating the plan. He then calls Brenda, proclaiming that he has news of the utmost importance, and drops some change on the ground. Brenda picks it up, with Uncle Grandfather watching, and eating a banana.

The tornado turns out to be a friendly, if somewhat unstable, creature named Terry/Twisty to Gerald, Action Hotdog, and Inappropriate Comedy Tree, but starts a rivalry with the latter. Coiffio, in his spaceship is bathing in his hot tub. He goes on to Model Robot about how he needs his robe to cover his "hot bod", while mispronouncing words. He goes off to talk to Catman, and once again, achieves next to nothing. Meanwhile, The Animal King/The King of All Animals, while arguing with his animal subjects to turn on the heat in the hatchback, succeeds in driving right into a ditch.

Gerald, while walking along with his allies, begins to hear voices in the stump of his severed ear, and the scene shifts to Brenda in a dark room, whispering in Japanese, into Gerald's ear. Uncle Grandfather bursts into the room, accompanied by the Secret Military Policemen, saying that Brenda has caused the beginning of the Cat-Bun Wars! The last scene shows the armies of each side converging on each other, ready to fight. After the credits, Coiffio plays a tune at Pineapple Beach.
