They often end up euthanized since no one will adopt them, despite being healthy. Black cats and pit bulls are the pets least likely to be adopted, due to stigma about bad luck and violence.

This is the third Pixar short to use 2D animation, followed by Your Friend the Rat and Day & Night, and the first short, and even to a larger extent, Pixar production to be entirely animated in 2D.The kitten and pitbull, now wearing collars, are seen in a big field overlooking San Francisco with the woman and her boyfriend. The dog is afraid at first but then realizes this is the first time heвЂ™s ever been loved by a human. After a slight shock, she goes up and pets him as well. The kitten then introduces the pit bull to her. The kitten is later seen wandering the streets when the young woman comes back to beckon her. After some struggling, the kitten and the pit bull escape, leaving the dog-ring owners surprised. When the two wake up, the lights to the building turn on behind them and they make a break to the fence. The kitten, feeling bad, goes over and comforts the pit bull through the night. The pit bull sadly meanders back to his dog house. As the pit bull goes over to help the kitten, the kitten sees his large fangs and she scratches him on the nose. The kitten then ends up getting caught in a plastic can ring holder after getting scared by the storm. The dog is upset and goes to find shelter. On a rainy day, the pit bull is brutally tossed outside by his owners covered in bloody scars and bruises, implying that the building he lives in is a dogfighting establishment. The owner gives the Pitbull the teddy bear and the Pitbull tears off the teddy bearвЂ™s head. When a plane flies overhead, the Pitbull starts barking at it and the kitten hides inside the box when the owner is arrives. They ultimately connect by tossing a bottle cap back and forth. With little excitement or interaction with his new owners, the pit bull notices the kitten and tries to reach her, but his chain is too short. The next morning, the owners of the building next door adopt a pit bull that excitedly anticipates its new home, only to be chained to the outside. The kitten arrives at its home, a small box with a stuffed animal that rests in a pile of garbage and sleeps. On the streets of San Francisco, a stray kitten steals a small fish for itself and avoids a young woman working at a pawn shop that beckons her to return the fish. Together, they experience friendship for the first time. An unlikely connection sparks between two creatures: a fiercely independent stray kitten and a pit bull.
