Though, sometimes, he does feel … a little off. So, when Farmer says to him, “Donkey, you’re acting like a cat!” it gets him thinking. What if he’s not a cat? And if not, then what is he? Will going off on his own help Donkey figure out what he is and where he belongs? Cat or not, any litter would be thrilled to have this lovable Donkey in their barnyard!
