Megamind stumbled out of his sleeping chambers, the vitalizing scent of coffee wafting through the air. His bare foot came into contact with something squishy and cold. Looking down, he realized his foot had directly connected with a dead mouse.

"EW! Gah!" he yelped, stepping back and shaking his foot in disgust. Upon his outburst, two kitties (one tuxedo, one white) came galloping towards him, meowing happily. Sighing, Megamind looked at the cats and muttered "Thanks for the … gift. Can't you learn to use a trash can? I suppose I can program a brainbot to dispose of these so I don't step on them" and lumbered off in search of coffee.

Minion was preparing breakfast, which involved grabbing one of the many stocked up boxes of BooBerry Crunch that were only available during the fall, and pouring it into a bowl. "Good morning, Sir!" Minion chirped. Megamind merely grunted and made for the coffee pot.

"Is everything okay?" Minion inquired.

"Ick, no. I stepped on another dead mouse this morning. Remind me to program the brainbots to take care of that for me. Plus, the cats meowed outside the door at 4 AM and woke me up! I thought they were sleeping with you", Megamind grumbled.

Minion set the bowl of cereal and some milk on the table, and turned to face Megamind. "Well, sir, mousing was part of the reason why we got a cat. They are showing you how much they love you! And Marmy was sleeping with me, but Megamew and Snowball must have scampered out during the night. Three cats are quite a handful."

Megamind plopped down at the table. "You're right, Minion. Time to put Operation: Evil Adoption Plan in action. Let's go through the plans right after breakfast. I think it's time we find Snowball and Marmalade their own Evil Lairs to torment dead mice."

Several hours later, a familiar scene was taking place at the Evil Lair.

Ms. Roxanne Ritchie was starting to come to her senses, tied to a chair in the center of the main laboratory. While waiting for her to gain full consciousness, Megamind positioned himself on his chair, which he had elevated on a platform in order to sneer down more impressively at Ms. Ritchie. Tugging his collar to gain more height, he called out "Here, here, Megamew! Meeegaaamewww! Fuzzzyyy!" and made tsk'ing noises. Unfortunately, Minion had been babying the kittens and now Megamew often responded to the name Fuzzy as well as Megamew. Megamind's calling paid off; Megamew, fully decked out in a spiked collar that matched his Daddy's imposing outfit, along with the Megamind logo dangling from its neck (and a contact number on the back), hopped up into Megamind's lap.

"Did I just hear you say … fuzzy?" Roxanne slurred, shaking her head to clear her vision. "Also, I think I preferred the potato sack to the garlic sack. Can we please go back to the less smelly one?"

"The only thing that is fuzzy around here, Ms. Ritchie, is your memory! You know perfectly well we will use any sack we want to kidnap you, and we will never wash the sacks, as you constantly request" Megamind retorted.

Roxanne stared at Megamind's lap, her eyes slightly widened. "Is that a cat? It's sooo cute!" she cooed.

"This is not just any cat. This is Megamew! Vicious destroyer of rats and mice, mass consumer of kibble. He is to be feared. He may bite or claw you at any time. Beware his wrath!"

Roxanne continued to coo at the cat, which perked up at her noises. Megamew hopped off Megamind's lap and trotted over to inspect Roxanne. Megamew then rubbed against her legs and purred.

Megamind scowled, and called out "Minion! Please take care of Megamew so we can continue with our dastardly scheme".

Minion appeared from behind Ms. Ritchie and scooped up Megamew. Roxanne looked over and said "He's so cute!" Minion smiled, and replied "I know, isn't he? I had his collar specially made..."

"Minion!" Megamind cut off the conversation, and gave Minion an annoyed glare.

"Ah yes, right away, Sir", and Minion quickly left the room.

"The time has come, Ms. Ritchie, to unleash my plot to lure and destroy Metroman!" Megamind pulled a giant lever with flourish, uncovering a pit of alligators below Ms. Ritchie. Roxanne rolled her eyes and was about to snark off a comment about how she had already met the alligators several times, when something new happened – a cage lowered down from the ceiling to her eye level.

In the cage were two kittens: one white, one orange. Both were romping around happily with each other, with what appeared to be cat toys. "Awww those are sooo cute!" cooed Roxanne.

"Yes, they are cute. Cute enough so feeding them to the alligators, along with you, is truly evil!" cackled Megamind.

"What? You are not only going to risk me, but these helpless kittens? God, that is just so … so.. horrible!" replied a disgusted Roxanne.

"Exactly! Now it's time to call your shining knight in tights to rescue you." Megamind activated a telecom that pirated all local television stations with his direct feed.

"Metroman! I am holding your beloved Ms. Ritchie hostage… plus two adorable kittens ... that will become alligator food in 10 minutes if you do not appear in time to save them! I haven't fed the alligators in days, and they are looking forward to some tasty treats. Come save them, if you dare!"

While waiting for Metroman to pinpoint their location with his x-ray vision, Megamind walked behind Roxanne's chair to confer with Minion, who had relocated Megamew to another room (complete with a full dish of kibble). Together, they watched Roxanne coo at the kittens.

"Perfect, Minion. Our plan is working. See how she can't take her eyes off of them!" Megamind whispered gleefully. "Yes, she does seem quite entranced by them, Sir! Excellent idea!" replied Minion.

Three minutes later, Metroman came bursting through the ceiling.

"Megamind, only you could be so evil to threaten lives as innocent as kittens and Roxanne!" called out Metroman heroically.

"Evil lives to threaten all, Metroman, and will threaten whoever it wants!" cried Megamind.

"Your days of threatening harmless animals ("Hey!", protested Roxanne) are over!", replied Metroman, while flying over to untie Roxanne and move the cage onto the floor well away from the alligator pit.

"Never, since I consider you to be one of those harmless animals!" retorted Megamind, while positioning a large, intimidating looking ray gun at Metroman.

Metroman zoomed over, grabbed Megamind by the collar and flew off to drop him off in the jail yard. While the Warden was putting handcuffs on Megamind, Metroman could have sworn Megamind smiled.

With his amazing speed, Metroman was back at Evil Lair in less than five minutes to check on Roxanne and found her playing with the kittens.

"Oh, Metroman, look how cute they are! We can't just leave them here. I've wanted a cat for awhile...I guess I can take one, but my loft isn't big enough for two."

Metroman looked down at the kittens and picked up the white one. It was wearing a collar that said "Snowball". The kitten started to purr and its fur drifted lazily through the air towards his costume. He realized that since the cat was white, and he only wore white, this didn't seem to be a problem.

"I guess... I could take this kitten. I never had a pet before. What do I do?" Metroman asked tentatively, while stroking the kitten's fur.

Roxanne looked up at him and smiled. "I grew up with cats. Here, let's get out of here and go to the local pet shop. We need to pick up supplies, but it's pretty easy".

Watching Roxanne and Metroman pack up the cats and fly out of the lair, Minion smiled to himself. Now he had Megamew aka fuzzy all to himself while Megamind was in jail. "Nice job, Sir", Minion smiled to himself. "Operation: Evil Adoption Plan worked out. The first plan we ever had work and the best one so far."
