** A subtle one. When Furrball first sees Fifi, it's in such a way to where her stripe isn't visible. This implies he thought she was a fellow cat at first and was completely on board with the idea of being Fifi's boyfriend until he realized that she was a skunk.

The thirteenth episode of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.

Each of these shorts is linked to the other chronologically. In all three, Furrball attempts to find a home, while being chased by two bully alley cats.

'''Short One:''' "K9-Kitty"

Furrball is taken into the house of Lloyd and Bernice, a couple with poor vision, after they mistake him for a seeing-eye dog. After the couple receive new eyeglasses, they find out that a cat is in their house, and get rid of him because they dislike cats.

'''Short Two:''' "Aroma Amore"

After having a stripe accidentally painted on his back, Furrball hides in a junkyard, where he is pursued by Fifi La Fume, who mistakes him for a skunk. After finally removing the stripe, Furrball paints the two alley cats to look like skunks.

'''Short Three:''' "Cross-Country Kitty"

Furrball is taken into Mary Melody's house, where he begins pursuing Sweetie Bird. Mary takes him on vacation to distract him from Sweetie, but he still travels across the country several times in attempts to capture Sweetie.
