A cat owner built three cardboard mazes of increasing difficulty for his two cats, Ralph and Bella. The cats competed in each maze, with the owner providing play-by-play commentary and analysis. Despite Bella's struggles, she managed to win the first round, but Ralph dominated the second round with a time of four seconds. Bella was disqualified in the second round after jumping out of the maze. In the third and final round, Ralph again emerged victorious, completing the maze in 1 minute and 48 seconds, far ahead of Bella's time. Ralph was declared the champion, and his owner reflected on the entertaining competition, joking about the cats' problem-solving abilities and Bella's misadventures.
