#breaking the rules of mortality has conequences

[duckapus]

You know something I noticed?

The confrontation in the cave is the only time Death shows up when Puss isn’t about to die, and every time Puss sees him that death is prevented.

-First time is his cameo during the Giant Battle, where Puss doesn’t notice Death and thus succumbs to it.

-Then obviously the bar scene, where it’s been more-or-less universally agreed that Puss would’ve drank himself to death if Death hadn’t started breaking his own rules.

-The silhouette in the retirement home window put him on guard, which prevented him from being found by Goldi and the Bears and spurred him back into action.

-His little taunt with the coins caused Puss to sober up and tell Perrito to drive faster, allowing Team Friendship to capitalize on Puss’s distraction instead of squander it with his posturing.

-The unicorn horn battle, where Puss was knocked prone and disoriented, so he’d probably have been hit if he hadn’t freaked out and ran off. And then while he was running he basically got herded to the tree where Perrito and Kitty found him.

-And the final battle on the Wishing Star, since he’s both in the middle of a three-way fight in an arena that’s trying to kill all of them and about to throw his current life away in a metaphorical sense by wishing to replace the ones he literally threw away.
