Synopsis: 10/76 Fat Freddy's cat is talking to his bored nephews about a time he too thought he was "bored." His story begins with Fat Freddy and the Freak Brothers dropping him off at a "Pet Resort" that looks like a country club on the outside. Once there, the guy doing the intake comments that he "can tell by their looks" that they won't be back for the cat. As they take him back they wonder if they can make a few tacos out of him and a fur hat. He tries to escape out the window but doesn't realize it is closed and smacks himself. When he lands he does a crazy dance that makes them reconsider and decide to spare him and give him as a gift to the Warden. They try to fatten him up and groom him ahead of time. He turns his nose at the "dog food" they try to feed him mentioning that he better cooperate or he'll be thrown to the dogs which convinces him after seeing the dogs fighting in the pen. They enter the Warden's office who has various animal heads mounted to his walls, many of them domestic pets. Upon gifting him to the Warden as a dancing cat, the Warden starts shooting at his feet to force him to dance and Fat Freddy's Cat jumps up on one of the heads of the people gifting him and digs in his claws. When they leave the bald guy whose head he mounted talks out loud about not wasting such a fine specimen on the Warden's target practice and instead thinks he'll be a fine specimen for genetic experiments which the cat thinks will mean breeding which makes him smile. He soon discovers that the intent is to splice other animal parts onto him instead of breeding. He hears the man say he's going to give him canary wings which causes him to freak out and end up hanging upside down by his claws on the ceiling. Before the scientist can proceed, there's an emergency in the dog pen with fighting. They throw Fat Freddy's Cat into the pen to distract the dogs who were jockeying for leadership. The main dog rushes at him to attack but he puffs up and has a gigantic tail that causes the main dog to go into cardiac arrest. All the dogs hail him as the new leader. He organizes them to dig a tunnel out of the compound and they comply. He has them take down a ceiling fan and set if up to act as a "ventilator" for the tunnel. He has them pull the rope wound upon it and to their surprise, he takes off straight up into the air as he duped the dogs as part of his grand scheme. He tells his nephews he then flew to Rio De Janeiro and caught up with the Freak Brothers and that flying was easy since he was a vtol pilot flying missions over Korea in a previous life, but that's another story. His nephews leave disgusted, commenting that they don't want to hear another stupid story. Fat Freddy's Cat continues on in the issue with a couple of other story lines involving his adventures around the house and then escaping and getting lost in the city but adopted by Dennis the Menace and all is looking up until Fat Freddy finds him and nabs him "look my old cat!" Fat Freddy puts him in a cage in the back of their camper as he and the other Freak Brothers head out to the wilderness. The rest of the story has bits and pieces of his adventure in the woods including playing with a snake he thought was a string and hiding out in the branches of a tree with other animals as a pack of domestic dog on the loose terrorize the wildlife. He has a conversation with a female lynx that he thinks wants to rape him. There are other on pagers interspersed throughout the issue.
