Take good care of Dani, Max.

You'll never know how precious|she is until you lose her.

Home.

Mom? Dad?

We got a new cat! Mom?

Well, I guess they're|still partying. Come on in.

You're my kitty now.

You're going to turn me into one of|those fat, useless, contented house cats.

You betcha.

- Yeah.|- You know, Binx, I'll always take care of you.

My children will|take care of you too.

Well, the witches are dead.|What harm could it do?

Well, just be careful.

I will.
