Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Buzzy the Crow is about to be eaten by a cat but the cat has hiccoughs. Buzzy, of course, has a few home remedies he graciously shares with the cat but none of them cures the cat's problems. In fact, all of them add to the problem. So much so, that all nine lives of the cat goes to heaven...one life at a time.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
