Puss and Kitty Race for the Map, Explained: rip someone off
The chase turns into an old argument: Kitty refuses to hand over the map because of what happened in Santa Coloma — "Trust you? Like I did in Santa Coloma?" When the map turns out to be a blank page, Puss covers with a joke and insists he knew it would happen.
What happens
On the carriage, Puss and Kitty bicker while chasing the map to the Dark Forest. She will not trust him after an old betrayal in Santa Coloma, so neither lets the other hold the map. When Puss finds the map is blank, he claims he expected it all along.

What's really going on
The scene is a fable about trust, hidden inside a chase. Kitty's line — "Trust you? Like I did in Santa Coloma?" — names the wound between them without explaining it, and it changes how every later joke lands. Puss wants control of the map; Kitty wants proof he can be relied on, and neither gives way. When the map turns out to be blank, Puss does what Puss does: he lies smoothly, saying he knew it would happen, and keeps his dignity. The film uses the argument to show that their partnership will have to be rebuilt rather than assumed. Perrito, adding his cheerful questions from the back, is the third voice that will eventually force them to talk honestly.

Questions about this scene
Why won't Kitty give Puss the map?
She does not trust him after an old betrayal in Santa Coloma, so she refuses to let him hold the map, and he refuses to let her keep it either.
What happens to the map?
It turns out to be a blank page, meaning they were tricked. Puss pretends he knew it would happen, and the real map reveals a rhyme about the Dark Forest and the Wishing Star.
Who is Perrito with the team?
He is the dog who insists he is Puss's best friend and therapy dog, cheerfully joining the chase and talking from the back.
What does Puss say happened to his sword?
He says he got rid of it because it made things too easy and he wanted a challenge, which Kitty teases him about.
