History
Kat Kong
Kat Kong appeared from the forest after being summoned by a tribe performing a ritual and tripped on the tuna can offering made to it. Doctor Vincent Varmint, looking at the knocked-out cat, thought that they should take it to Mousopolis to make money off of it. Kat Kong is put in a giant bag and is transported to Mousopolis. There, Doctor Varmint shows off Kat Kong to the people of the city in a theater; however, Kat Kong breaks free from his shackles during the show and captures Rosie Rodent. He then climbs on top of the Romano Inn, and cannot be stopped by the airplanes' fire. Captain Limburger gets an idea, however, and throws a present out from his plane. Kat Kong, very curious as to what might be in the present, threw himself off the building and fell to his death on the ground.
