## Plot

### Light Version

A father dies leaving his three sons with his fortunes, his youngest son (called Brian) is given the cat. The cat can stand upright and talk and demands some boots so that he can assist the boy. Puss's first mission was to gather a batch of rabbits and present them to the king, claiming to be from his master under the pretence his master is the Marquis of Carabas. Next, Puss forces his master to strip naked and to bathe in the river, when the king and his daughter passes by, Puss claims that thieves had stolen the boy's clothes and requires new one. The King seemingly unaware of this rather obvious lie, give Puss' master some clothes. To further prove that his master is the "Marquis of Carabas", Puss hurries ahead of the king's coach and tells the townsfolk to tell the king that the road and land belongs to his master, which they oblige. Later on, to further prove the master's worth, Puss finds a castle owned by an ogre that can shapeshift. Puss orders the Ogre to shapeshift into a mouse which Puss eats. Puss then presents the castle as to belonging to his master, which pleases the princess and in turn the king who allows the two to get married.

### Dark Version

Brian gets Puss and thinks of eating him. Puss having no desire to be eaten decides to help Brian out by slaughtering rabbits and giving it to the king, claiming he was the Marquis of Carabas. Puss then forces his master to be naked, claiming he was assaulted, so that the king could buy the story. Puss, to further add evidence of the Marquis of Carabas, forces the dying peasants to declare that the land belongs to his master, which they do before dying. Puss then finds a castle inhabited by a shapeshifting ogre, Puss asks the ogre to shapeshift into various creatures before turning himself into a mouse which to ogre does, before getting eaten.
