Catnap wakes up, and the nurse immediately goes to talk to him.

Nurse: Catnap, I have great news.

Catnap: What news?

Nurse: By some miracle, you have fully recovered; you are cleared to leave the hospital.

Catnap: That... That's amazing! But... Will Dogday be able to leave too?

Nurse: He has already left.

Catnap: Great! Thank you very much, nurse.

Catnap gathers his things and leaves the hospital. He heads home, thinking about how Dogday is doing. Until his mother enters the room.

Mother: Son, there's a friend of yours who wants to come talk to you.

Catnap: Let her in...

Soon Hoppy enters the room.

Catnap: Hoppy?

Hoppy: Yes, it's me.

Catnap: Why are you... Wait... Why do you have smudged lipstick?

Hoppy: Uh... It's nothing.

Hoppy gives a nervous smile. Catnap knows she is lying.

Catnap: Tell me why.

Hoppy: I... I... I was with Craftycorn.

Catnap: You... uh...

Hoppy: No! It's not what you're thinking! She forced me—uh... Never mind... Bye...

Hoppy leaves. A few minutes later, Craftycorn enters as well.

Craftycorn: Hi... Catnap...

Catnap: What is it, Craftycorn? I said "Craftycorn," didn't I?

Craftycorn: Even if I were a "corn," I'd be better than you, you little gay.

Catnap gives a knowing smile.

Catnap: And you're way too straight to be talking about me.

Craftycorn: Oh, and I really am.

Catnap: What about Hoppy?

Craftycorn: Uh... A woman?

Catnap: And you?

Craftycorn: A woman, duh.

Catnap: And you were making out with Hoppy behind the damn square.

Craftycorn: H-HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!

Catnap: No one told you to wear lipstick.

Craftycorn: Damn it! I forgot about this damn lipstick!

Catnap: Cry more.

Craftycorn: SHUT UP, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Catnap makes a serious expression.

Catnap: What did you say...?

Craftycorn: I SAID, SON OF A BITCH!

Catnap starts getting angry, exposing his claws and sharpening his teeth. He scratches Craftycorn's face; she tries to push him away, but Catnap bites her arm. Catnap wraps his tail around Craftycorn's neck and lifts her up.

Craftycorn: C-Catnap... No, please...

Catnap: You... You don't deserve...

Catnap sighs and releases Craftycorn.

Catnap: Get out of here... NOW!!!

Craftycorn runs out crying. Catnap sighs and tries to calm down until his mother enters the room, worried.

Mother: Son...? What happened... Why are your teeth covered in blood...? Did you hit that girl?

Catnap: Mom... I'm sorry... She provoked me...

Mother: You know you were lucky I adopted you; no one would want a monster like you, with your smoke and when you rage. You know that. I didn't raise you to hit others; I teach you to control yourself...

Catnap tries to hold back tears.

Catnap: Yes, I know that, Mom... I... I can't calm down when I get angry...

Mother: Do you want something to help you calm down?

Catnap: I think seeing my friend Dogday would be a good option...

Mother: Okay, I'll call his mom and see if he can come here, okay?

Catnap: Okay... Thank you, Mom...

Catnap's mother leaves the room. Catnap picks up one of the many photographs he has of Dogday and starts to look at it. He takes a piece of paper and a pencil and begins to draw. He starts to think silly things and draw Dogday in a very...

Catnap begins to feel excitement while drawing and starts to blush, countless thoughts running through his mind {[ you know very well what those thoughts are ( ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠) ]}

Catnap: I think I better stop... Otherwise, I'll get too carried away...

Catnap looks at the drawing again; he can't help but bite his lips. He hears the door opening and quickly hides the drawing under the pillow. It's Dogday.

Dogday: Hi Catnap... I came to see you.

Dogday sits next to Catnap. Catnap starts staring at Dogday, thinking, "Damn... What would it be like to have him as my roommate, with a collar around his neck and me in total control of him, putting my...".

Dogday: Catnap... Are you okay?

Catnap: Oh... Y-yeah... I'm fine, I was just daydreaming a bit.

Dogday: Oh, okay. Wow... It's really hot in your room; don't you have a fan or air conditioning?

Catnap: No, I don't, sorry...

Dogday: It's alright... My goodness... It's really hot... Catnap, do you mind if I take off my shirt?

Catnap starts to think silly things but tries to hold it back.

Catnap: N-No... I don't mind... You go to the gym, right?

Dogday: Yeah, almost every day. Why?

Catnap: N-nothing...

Dogday: Oh, okay.

Dogday takes off his shirt because of the heat. Catnap tries to resist but can't help but start looking at Dogday's muscles with a smile and a look of desire, Catnap is thinking a lot now.

Dogday: Uh... Catnap... Why are you looking at me so much?

Catnap: No... It's nothing... Can I touch your muscles a bit?

Dogday: Uh... That's pretty unexpected, but... Sure.

Catnap starts running his fingers over Dogday's muscles, unable to take his eyes off him.

Catnap: So... So defined... So...

Dogday: Uh... Catnap... I think I'd better put my shirt back on...

Catnap: O-oh... Sorry.

Dogday puts his shirt back on.

Dogday: I wanted to spend more time... But I think it's better—Catnap, what's that under your pillow?

Catnap: N-No! Don't touch that!

Dogday picks it up and sees the drawing.

Dogday: O-oh... Looks like you've been using your imagination a lot, huh?

Catnap: S-Sorry...

Dogday: Who knows, maybe one day your imagination will become reality... Dogday whispers this as he leaves the room, so Catnap doesn't hear.

End of the eleventh day.
