In this short story, Puss in Boots Junior encounters three little kittens who are upset because they have lost their mittens and fear their mother's disapproval (referencing the classic nursery rhyme). Puss Junior offers to help find the mittens, mentioning he is also searching for his own lost father, and the kittens promise to help him in return if he finds their mittens. After searching several locations unsuccessfully, Puss Junior suggests the barn, where, after initial hesitation from a mouse and rat, one of the kittens successfully coaxes the mouse into revealing the mittens' location in the tool closet, leading to a happy resolution for the kittens.
