Or else what?

You're gonna do what Larry said

and send me to military school?

Maybe if you'd just behave,

I wouldn't have to consider military school.

I wish I could trust you.

I wish I had a different mom.

Well, sometimes

I wish the same thing.

Mmm.

Good luck with your meeting.

Children, would you like

to watch television with me?

- We don't have to tell your mother.

Taiwanese parliament.

You tell them, Kwi-Chang!

No more big government!

Rip his heart out!

Hit me!

So they slumped in their chairs,

too glum to complain,

and to make matters worse,

it started to rain.

They sat in the house...

on that cold, cold, wet day...

with no fun to have...

and no games to play.

They could just

stare out the window...

or perhaps get a nap in,

and hope that something,

anything might happen.

Quit bothering

the fish.

I know.

Quit bothering the fish.

Spit hand!

Oh, gross!

Get that away from me!

Get it away!

Then something went bump.

- What was that?

How that bump

made them jump.

I think it came

from the closet.

Conrad?

Conrad.

Come on, Conrad.

You shouldn't scare people.

You should've seen

the look on your face.

It was like you saw a monster...

A monster? Where?

That could've gone better.

What was that?

I don't know.

Looked like

a humongous cat.

"Humongous"?

I prefer the term "big-boned" or jolly."

Now, what are we hiding from?

That was a giant cat.

But that's impossible,

isn't it?

It's entirely

impossible.

You know,

I like this hiding place

a lot better.

They'll never

find us here.

Scream and run.

And there they go.

Who are you?

Who? Me?

Why, I'm the Cat in the Hat.

There's no doubt about that.

I'm a "super-fun-diferous" feline...

who's here to make sure

that you're...

Meeline? Key lime?

Turpentine?

I got nothin'.

I'm not so good with the rhyming.

Not really, no.

Look, I'm a cat

that can talk.

That should be enough

for you people!

I can talk!

I'm a cat! Yes!

Where did you come from?

Hmm, how do I put this?

When a mommy cat and a daddy cat

love each other very much,

they decide that...

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Where did you come from?

My place!

Where do you think?

No, how did you get here?

I drove!

Look, I've been here two whole minutes,

and no one has offered me a drink.

Harrumph!

- Sorry, Mr. Cat.

Would you like some milk?

- Milk? Ecch! No!

Lactose intolerant.

Gums up the works. Oy.

You'll thank me later.

Wipeout!

- Hello!

@@Yeah!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Yee-hee-hee!

Nice spread you got here.

Homina-homina-homina-homina!

Who is this?

Ohh!

That's my mom.

Awkward, yeah.

Yes, this place will do

quite nicely, actually. Yeah.

Although those drapes
