Plot
[edit]A starving cat sees a sign that says "Ma's Place/Home Cooking/3 Miles." He rushes into town at once, but neglects to read the part that says that the town is full of 100 ghosts. One of the ghosts happens to be a mouse, who wants revenge on cats for tormenting him all his life. The mouse decides that the cat would make a perfect target for torment, and sets out to ruin his life. However, the cat is killed, turning him into a ghost, and the mouse flees the town.
