The gift shop. That cat can't stop chasing shiney and valuable things.
How you ever got such an easily distractable partner, you'll never know. . .

You decide to start by checking the gift shop. This is totally because your cat might be there and not because you want some nice things, what are you talking about. Of course, if something catches your eye while you're around, it would be silly not to pick it up...

As you grab a few trinkets, the other customers seem to be staring at you. The clerk walks over after a little bit.

"Sir, your pelvic thrusts are... distracting the other customers," she says.

You explain that it is a medical condition, and also has she seen a cat around?

"A what?" she asks. "Can you show me a picture?"

You reach into your wallet, when you realize you have no pictures of your cat. You don't know why. You decide to pull up the internet on your phone and check that informational website for pictures... even if they aren't of your cat, they should help you describe him.

Oh. There are no pictures of cats there either, only a vague article with few details. Well, perhaps an image search for "cat" will give you something...

No results. How strange. Are cats actually a classified species and your agency never informed you of this? Oh well, no matter. You purchase the trinkets, thank the clerk for her trouble, and decide to look elsewhere.

the place with all of the kids which for some reason is next to the science freaks

Perhaps your cat wandered into the Children's Ward. You head over there, only to hear a scream from the Freaks Of Nature ward down the hall.

"Something's eating the car!" a doctor screams. "I've never seen anything like it!"

Puzzled, you head over to the room and see your cat eating a car in a hospital bed. It's also eating the bed. And parts of the wall.

Oh, drat, you didn't feed him before work today, did you? He must be very hungry. You get the sense that he might not stop until he eats the entire planet.

Well, you'd better do something about this. You can't set the world on fire if your cat eats it all first. What are you going to do?
