For "Kitty Litter"
Detailed summary
After spending "countless eons" of experimentation, Dexter creates a mystery formula. While he keeps on boasting about said thing, a pink kitty cat jumps right next to Dexter on the table. But not long after he pets it, he realizes that the cat could only mean one thing: Dee Dee.
Dee Dee scares Dexter and he gives out a verbose rant on why she keeps going inside his lab. As he keeps going on, Dee Dee's cat takes a lick on the mystery formula. It turns out that it made the cat grow to a gargantuan size, which broke their house's roof and ran away in the process. Dee Dee tries to point out to Dexter what happened, but he scoffs it off until he sees the unintentional damage the cat did to the city. Recognizing his ignorance, he plans on bringing Dee Dee's cat back to its regular size.
Dexter then unleashes a large mechanical robot dog from his lab. Dee Dee wants to join Dexter in his task, but when he ignores her request, Dee Dee cries and it forced him to quickly change his mind. Dexter and Dee Dee then fly to the city in their dog mech to find the kitty. Upon seeing it, they chase the pet down, only to have it climb on top of a skyscraper. With the antidote in hand (which just so happens to be the same mystery formula Dexter made), Dee Dee reaches the top of the building, using the liquid to feed her cat. It reverts back to normal, and Dexter is relieved to see that is over. It didn't take too long, however, for Dee Dee to become thirsty after all of this. Dexter panics when she is about to take a sip of the liquid.
