The chapter opens with the cat's exclamation, "Ahhh! I totally satisfied!" . He's full of praise for his day's work, but he's also full of worry about what's in the bag for dinner. He thinks that he'll be able to win his promotion at the end of the day, but then he realizes that he still has a lot more food to eat. He wonders where his brother is, and then he wonders aloud whether they should keep buying so much food. He says that if they do, they'll end up in trouble, and that's just the way it is. But then he notices that they're getting too much food, and he wonders if there's something missing. He notices that the food doesn't have a touch of "fish wing grass," which is one of the cats' favorite food additives.
