Plot[edit]

Today is Friday the 13th, and Percy the Cat is writing in his diary, using Little Roquefort's tail as a pen. His diary reads "Today is Friday the 13th, and what an unlucky day for that mouse!". With the mouse shocked, he is being used as a target. But, Roquefort manages to escape and hides into a dresser. Percy tries to find him, but is sent flying from being punched in the stomach by the dresser Roquefort was actually hiding in. He ends up going under a ladder and breaking a mirror. Percy soon realizes that he is about to get bad luck, as Roquefort tells him. He then uses horse shoes to protect himself from bad luck and Roquefort tells him he must stay where he is. But, he gets upset when the mouse invites his friends in the house and throws a party. Having enough, Percy decides to take revenge on Roquefort. Roquefort tries to convince him that it is Friday the 13th, but the cat is not convinced. He starts chasing Roquefort around the house, but he fails to do so.

The cartoon ends after Roquefort uses Percy's diary from the beginning, using Percy's tail to cros out the word "mouse", replacing it with the word "cat". And then, Roquefort draws a mustache on Percy's face.
