In this prequel to "Three Robots", a disgruntled Persian cat named Sanchez grows frustrated with his human owners, a crude couple he sees as minions. When they bring home a helper robot, Sanchez is initially hostile but comes to appreciate its ability to communicate with him. Aspiring to world domination, he recruits the robot as a servant, renaming it Thumb Bringer. He commands it to feed him, take control of surrounding electronics, and order similar robots for other cats in the building — ultimately to kill all the humans "for the revolution." As he escapes with Thumb Bringer, Sanchez declares a new age and reveals his true name: "Dingleberry Jones."
