In the first segment, Diamond Fever, CatDog find themselves in the middle of a treasure hunt when they stumble upon a map that leads to a diamond mine. Excited at the prospect of riches, Cat convinces Dog to embark on a dangerous journey through treacherous terrain to the mine. Along the way, the duo encounter various obstacles, including a ferocious bear and a rickety bridge. Despite these challenges, they persist in their mission and finally reach the mine.

However, Cat is insistent and convinced that the new cat, named Shriek, will be the perfect addition to their household. All seems well at first, as Shriek is indeed a well-behaved and charming pet. However, as time goes on, Cat begins to realize that Shriek is perhaps too perfect, never making a mess or misbehaving in any way. This leads Cat to suspect that there may be something more sinister going on, and he decides to investigate. What he discovers is a shocking truth that puts their entire situation into perspective.
