Plot[]
The episode begins with the gang entering Funny. Everyone excited to head for the Land of Myth of Legend, where the Greek goddess Thalia will do a standup comedy show in the Egyptian section. The gang happily departs, and they find the Egyptian section to full of cats. The gang meets a cat-looking goddess named Bast. Bast leads everyone to the stage where Thalia is set to do the comedy show, but Thalia is nowhere to be found. Minnie and Daisy check backstage, and they find Thalia, who is nervous to perform because she is afraid of cats due to a cat trying to scratch her once. When Bast joins Minnie and Daisy, Thalia becomes terrified and runs into one of the pyramids.
Minnie, Daisy, Bast, and Funny are seen searching the pyramid. Bast meets a cat whom she identifies as Scott, and Scott leads them to where Thalia is trapped by a hidden door. Scott opens the door to let Thalia out, but Thalia is still scared of cats. She explains she tried to shake the paw of the cat who once tried to scratch her, but Bast says that cats do not like it when people touch their paws, explaining why it tried to scratch her. Bast, Minnie, Daisy, and Funny take Thalia back to the stage to help her overcome her ailurophobia.
Back at the stage, Thalia is scared of a painting of two cats with their claws out, but Bast says they are simply saying hello to each other. She, Minnie, and Daisy help Thalia practice talking to a cat named Larry. Bast instructs Thalia to hold her hand out and let Larry sniff it, saying that's how you let a cat get to know you. She also explains never to touch a cat's paws or their tail as that hurts them, or else they might scratch you. Having successfully overcome her fear of cats, Thalia successfully does the comedy show later that night. The gang eventually returns to Funny. The episode ends with Funny producing a souvenir to remember their trip and Mickey and Minnie waving goodbye to the viewers.
