had also not shown up to the ceremony because he was afraid. Some time later, Kitty is approached by Goldilocks and the Three Bears Crime Family over helping them steal a map to a 'Wishing Star' being delivered to 'Big' Jack Horner. Seeing this as her chance to wish for someone who she could actually trust, Kitty faked heading on a spiritual retreat, then snuck into the camp of the Snake Sisters to steal the map. However, her plan is thwarted by Puss, who was attempting to steal the map for himself after Goldilocks inadvertently revealed the Star's existence to him, forcing her to escape with the map along with him and Perrito, a 'therapy dog' following Puss around, when Jack and Goldilocks attempt to steal the map for themselves. Initially reluctant to help Puss (as well as put off by Perrito's overly friendly nature), she eventually warms up to him again when, after and ambush by Jack and Goldilocks leads to the map falling into Goldi's hands, she discovers that Puss abandoned their wedding after developing a fear of commitment (something he never experienced before) and that he deeply regretted leaving and hurting her. They manage to steal the map back, but their escape is thwarted when Perrito is captured by Goldilocks and Puss is separated from Kitty by the Cave of Lost Souls, an obstacle created by the Star's magic. Kitty manages to save Perrito from Goldilocks' trap, however, she witnesses Puss hastily escaping from the Cave shortly after. Unaware that Puss was being hounded by the specter of Death ever since losing his eighth life and that he was struggling to come to terms with being down to his last life, Kitty assumes Puss is attempting to use the Star's wish to regain his lost lives so he can maintain his reputation. However, after witnessing Death attack Puss on top of the star and seeing Puss finally let go of his ego (and later giving her the map and, consequently, the wish), she realizes that he is legitimately trying to change, and, with the help of a reformed Goldilocks, tears the map, causing the star to implode and crush Jack. In the aftermath, Puss tells Kitty that all he wishes for is to spend his life with her and they get back together. Alongside Perrito, they form Team Friendship and sail off to new adventures.
