Kyutaro struggles to adjust to life without Tamanojo.

Kyutaro has made another enemy.

The two detectives have a growing suspicion regarding who is responsible for the disappearance of the cat. The culprit's assumption that the law will give up on a search for a dead cat is proving wrong. The samurai goes to some length, and recruits his allies, to keep the cat safe and with him.

The ronin has to find a place for his cat and unexpectedly receives assistance to make the plan work. He is under suspicion and cannot afford to tip his hand. At the same time, a flashback shines some light on how the man came to be where he is.

The poor cat is bored and hungry. The owner is also poor and hungry. The two have each other for company. The situation can change if the owner could find employment and there is a glimmer of hope, but could it be? In the meantime, there are doughnuts in the neighborhood and they are welcomed.

An employee is concerned with his employer's devotion and affinity for a cat, his beloved pet, and believes the feline to have an extraordinary power and control over his boss. The employee needs to dispose of the cat. At the same time, a ronin is in need of food and rent money having run out of funds.

There is a notice up for the capture of a cruel animal killer except, oh well, not all is as it seems. In the meanwhile somewhere in town a man's skin begins to itch necessitating a trip to a pet shop. Soon enough a cat is getting bathed.

The samurai and the cat are back in town, but quickly realize that they are no longer a duo. They have several uninvited guests. The new landlady is suspecting something and her senses are quickly confirmed; however, the situation is luckily resolved and there may even be an upside in it for our samurai.

There is a notice up for the capture of a cruel animal killer except, oh well, not all is as it seems. In the meanwhile somewhere in town a man's skin begins to itch necessitating a trip to a pet shop. Soon enough a cat is getting bathed.

The cat is not behaving well and it may be due to a disease. The owner is advised that the cat needs medicine, but that costs money. When an attempt at a scam does not work out as planned, it is time to head up the mountain.

There is a solution for hunger. Grow your own food, cook it and eat. The problem arises when the recipe causes aches, hallucination and more. Strange behaviour ensues and involved is a man, a cat, a landlady, a store owner and the suitor.

A mail home is returned and the postman does not know how to handle it. The neighbour helps. The cat is unhappy and the shopkeeper thinks she knows why. The samurai enlists the help of the children at the temple and the cat is the subject of much attention.
