At home, Courage set the newly baked cupcakes on the table. Now all he had to do was prepare the tea and—

Without warning, Courage was lifted off the ground and settled into someone's lap at the table. He looked up to find Katz staring down at him. He became extremely nervous and began to shake, expecting to be throttled for winning first place. He waited and waited, but no such violence happened. Instead Katz soothingly stroked Courage's fur until his tail wagged in happiness.

Katz then reached over and plucked one of the cupcakes off the tray. He inspected the sweet and even went so far as to sniff it before taking a large bite out of it.

Courage watched him chew slowly and observed how the feline's eyes became wide with amazement.

"Dear boy, what is your secret ingredient?"

Courage didn't respond. He merely gave the feline a wag of his tail and nestled into his lap.

Katz continued to stroke his fur until Courage fell asleep feeling happy and accomplished.
