The story so far
Everything you need before watchingPuss's past lives throw a party, then roast him: the legend is still huge, he is the one who got small. They nickname him Pickles, a scaredy-cat, Wuss in Boots. A wolf walks in: not a bounty hunter, but Death, who watched every cheap ending. He hates wasted nine lives and wants the last one now. Puss runs. In the forest Goldilocks names her wish, a proper family, and the bears hear it as getting rid of them.
