There was once a cat, which likes to be outside. He was a funny and wonderful ginger cat called Max.
At dinner, Max would come and delightfully eat his food. Then he would go and sleep on his owner's bed unless... he had an adventure in his mind.
Then on a regular day after dinner, Max heard his owner mention that there was some kind of portal. "An adventure! I have to go there!" he thought flying through the door.
Outside, he saw the golden-glowing portal. Suddenly it started to pull him in. Poor cat struggled to escape, but he had no chances. The portal brought Max to this strange world where everything was made of fairy floss.
He liked this world, but he remembered his owner and thought that they were looking for him. After a while, he had enough fairy floss and his whiskers were all sticky, so Max decided to go home. Then he happily saw his owner.
After a stressful bath and a regular fishy dinner, he had all his whiskers clean and had ... an idea, "It is good to be home... sometimes."
