Catnapped!

Papadoll has been missing for a week, prompting concern from Toriyasu and Meeko. Toriyasu suspects Papadoll ran away, while Meeko insists it was an alien abduction. They search the neighborhood, hoping for any clue and fearing what might have happened.

Three feline scientists—Henoji, Suttoboke, and HoiHoi—visit at night and reveal they will take the children to the cat world Banipal Witt. The siblings are stunned as they are whisked away from Earth. The journey marks a turning point as their ordinary life shifts into a surreal rescue mission.

Upon arrival in Banipal Witt, the magical sun turns Toriyasu and Meeko into kittens. They adjust to their new forms while realizing Papadoll’s fate is tied to theirs. The wonder of the cat world blends with the fear of a looming danger, raising the stakes of their quest.

They meet Master Sandada, a powerful wizard who explains Papadoll has been brought to Banipal Witt and transformed into a giant flying monster by Princess Buburina. Meeko is held hostage, heightening the urgency of the rescue. Sandada warns that time is running out as sunrise approaches.

Buburina reveals she plans to weaponize Papadoll and intends to use Meeko as her enslaved subject after sunrise. The princess solidifies her grip on the hostages, making the siblings’ mission even more perilous. The rebel alliance begins to form in the castle, preparing for a counterstrike.

Sandada states that only Toriyasu possesses the power to restore Papadoll’s true form. The restoration must occur before sunrise to prevent a catastrophe for Toriyasu and Meeko. The plan to invade the castle and retrieve Papadoll is set in motion under the veil of night.

Under cover of night, Toriyasu, the three scientists, and rebels prepare to sneak into Buburina's castle. They map routes, coordinate distractions, and brace for dangerous confrontations. The mission hinges on stealth and timing to avoid triggering alarms.

The plan falters when Toriyasu slips on a rope, waking Buburina and triggering alarms throughout the castle. Guards scramble to capture the intruders, forcing the rebels to regroup. The setback raises the stakes for the critical rescue mission.

Suttoboke and Meeko release the giant mouse balloon, unleashing a massive aerial battle above the castle. The sky fills with magical projectiles as the rebels fight Buburina’s forces. Toriyasu clings to Papadoll, determined to reclaim his pet and end the threat.

Toriyasu makes a bold move to reclaim Papadoll, but Buburina tears Papadoll’s collar in a desperate maneuver. In a pivotal moment, Papadoll remembers Toriyasu, turning the tide and helping to secure Meeko’s rescue. The team presses their advantage to escape the collapsing chaos.

With Papadoll restored, the siblings return home and begin the slow process of resuming a normal life as dawn breaks. They try to settle back into school and daily routines while processing what happened. The victory is bittersweet, as the memory of Banipal Witt lingers.

The next morning, the cats beckon them away from school for urgent business back in Banipal Witt. The sudden call hints at unresolved dangers and a potential sequel, leaving the siblings with a sense of impending adventure. The adventure feels unfinished, promising more to come.
