Kater Mikesch is on his way into the big, wide world, which for him is initially only twenty kilometres away from Holleschit. He has survived one adventure with robbers well, another with the gypsies proves to be much more dangerous. Mikesch is held captive. The retarded, Paschik, the piglet, and Bobesch, the goat, are very sad about Mikesch's cat excursions. But in the meantime they have found a new playmate in Maunzerle, a small kitten. They teach it to speak and are surprised when Maunzerle is allowed to go to school with a new suit.
