The cat in the hat came back the other day, chasing a bat and a rat. I asked the cat in the hat why the bat and the rat were his combat. He said, "that bat and the rat said I was fat!" The bat and the rat groaned and turned to me. "We said he was phat!" they said as a plea. I calmed and spoke kindly to the cat with the hat, "Can't we make this into a nice chat?" And that was the end of that.
