Topic: a group of pirate cats off to find the greatest treasure in all the land

At the top of the highest crow’s nest, towering above what appears to be a 1/8th scale version of the classical interpretation of a pirate ship, a calico cat stands alone. He is wearing a bandana with a skull and cross bones on it, perched directly on his cranium; he stands upright. In his hand is a spyglass, which he casually brings up to his feline eye and peers into. He uses his paw to focus until an image comes into view: a tropical island. The calico closes up his spyglass, the look on his face could best be described as one of excitement, but the unmistakable stench of fear was evident as well. “Land ho” the calico bellowed down toward the ship deck.
The first mate, an orange tabby bearing a striking resemblance to the funny pages’ favorite feline, looks up toward the crow’s nest, his face turning to the same mix of excitement and fear, “land ho” the first mate shouts toward the deck crew. The crew suddenly all begins scurrying about, dropping their yarn balls and moving to their stations. The first mate, looking satisfied at the crew’s movement, turns and walks toward the back of the ship, and the captain’s quarters. The calico nervously gulps as he opens the door.
“What is is?” the captain cat begins, as the calico steps inside. The captain is the spitting image for captain hook, wig included, but one striking difference remains: he does not have a hook for a paw. “Well, captain…” the nervous calico begins “It seems we’ve found the island.”
Sitting at his massive desk, the captain remains calm for a few beats until he suddenly draws a knife and slams it into the map, directly over a spot that appears to be the island in question. The captain stands from his desk, looks boldly toward the calico and begins “address the men, Garfunkel, and assure them of one thing: we will discover the greatest treasure of all time: a year's supply of Meow Mix!"
