Pirate Kitty is Ninja Kitty’s rival and next-door neighbor. He steals everything he needs to be a pirate from his owner, including the Jolly Roger panties on his head. He also has his leg stuck in a toilet paper roll to complete the look while he orders Squeakarr, his first mate and cat toy, about on many tasks while he spies on the dastardly Ninja Kitty.
