One morning at Andy's house, the toys were sitting around with nothing to do while Andy was at school.

"Gosh, it sure is boring around here," said Jessie.

"I know," said Buzz. "Anyone have any idea of what we can do?"

Slinky pulled out a board game of Checkers. "Why don't we play some board games?" he said.

"No," said Mr. Potato Head. "Too boring."

"Way too boring," said Mrs. Potato Head.

Bo Peep nodded in agreement. "Yeah," she said. "Try to think of something more specific."

"Well, what about video games?" said Rex.

"Eh, I don't think that sounds like much fun," said Hamm.

"Should we play the claw?" asked the toy aliens.

"No," said Buzz.

"Oh! Why don't we do some karaoke?" said Wheezy.

"No!" the toys all said at the same time.

"Well, then," said Buzz. "I guess all we can do is wait for Andy to come home."

By now, the toys completely had no idea of what to do for the day, except for Woody. "I know what we can do," he said.

"What is it, Woody?" asked Slinky.

"Well, why don't we get out there and help lost toys or animals in need?" said Woody.

"That's crazy!" said Mr. Potato Head. "How are we gonna do that?"

"Oh, come on, guys," said Woody. "We've been through this already."

"Woody's right, everyone," said Buzz. "Besides, he once saved me when I was strapped to Sid's rocket."

"That's when some of you thought Woody was making a mistake," said Bo.

"Oh, yeah," said Rex. "I remember."

"So do I," said Hamm.

"Then what are we waiting for?" said Woody. "Let's get out there!"

Just as Woody and the gang were about to head out the door, Buzz stopped them. "Hold it, cowboy," he said to Woody. "We don't know who needs our help."

"Oh, right," Woody said as he got up on the table near the window. "Where's Lenny?"

Then, Lenny appeared behind Woody. "Right here, Woody," he said.

Woody took Lenny and looked through his eye pieces. Then he saw a hamster being chased by a bunch of cats in a field. "Oh, no!" he said.

The other toys got up on the table near the window as well.

"What is it?" asked Buzz.

"A little hamster is being chased by a bunch of cats!" said Woody.

"It could be dozens," said Lenny.

The others toys also looked out the window and saw what was happening as well.

"We've got to do something!" said Buzz.

"But what can we do?" asked Jessie.

"There's only one thing we can do," said Woody. "We have to stop those cats."

"How exactly are we gonna do that?" asked Hamm.

"Follow me!" Woody said as he hopped onto Bullseye. "Ride like the wind, Bullseye!"

With that, Woody and Bullseye ran out the door.

The other toys, including followed Woody outside in the field while Bo, Lenny, Wheezy, and the toy aliens stayed inside the house and watched from the window.

"There they are!" Woody said as he pointed to the hamster being chased by the cats.

"Woody, you distract the cats," Buzz said to Woody. "The rest of us will get the hamster."

"Got it, Buzz!" said Woody.

"Be careful, Woody!" Jessie called out to Woody.

"Don't worry, Jessie," said Woody. "I've got this."

With that, Woody ran over to the cats and stood in front of them.

The cats were startled by Woody's actions, but they hissed at him.

"You and your cats need to leave now!" Woody said to the lead cat in front of the other cats.

The cats continued to hiss at Woody, startling him.

Then, Woody had an idea. He took off his hat and threw it at the lead cat's face, causing the cats run away in fright.

Meanwhile, the other toys were trying to catch up to the hamster.

"We almost got him!" shouted Buzz.

But before the toys could catch the hamster, it climed up a tree.

"He went up there!" Jessie said as she pointed to the tree.

"Now, we'll never be able to save him!" said Rex.

"What do we do now?" asked Hamm.

"I don't know!" said Mr. Potato Head.

"If only Woody was here, he'd know what to do," said Jessie.

"Wait, that's it!" said Buzz. "Woody! Woody, where are you?"

Woody ran towards the other toys. "I'm right here, Buzz!" he shouted.

"There he is!" said Slinky.

"Woody, use your string to help us get up on that tree!" said Buzz.

"But then we'll get stuck up there, too!" said Mrs. Potato Head.

"Trust me, guys," said Woody. "We can do it!"

With that, Woody threw his string up onto a tree branch. Then he started to pull himself up the tree.

"Are you sure that's safe?" Rex asked nervously.

"Don't worry," said Buzz. It's perfectly safe."

"Come one, everyone!" Woody called out to the others.

The other toys pulled themselves up the tree as well.

Bullseye was having a hard time trying to reach the top.

"Hold on, Bullseye," said Jessie. "We got you!"

The gang helped pull Bullseye up the tree. Then they finally reached the hamster.

"It's okay, little fella," Woody said to the hamster. "We'll get you down from here."

Suddenly, the branch that the toys were standing on began to break.

"What was that?" asked Woody.

Jessie looked down at the branch. "Oh, no!" she exclaimed. "The branch is breaking!"

The other toys looked down and gasped.

"Ah! It's gonna fall!" exclaimed Rex.

Then, the tree branch snapped, sending the toys all falling to the ground, leaving the hamster up on the tree.

"Is everyone okay?" Woody asked the others.

"Yeah," said the other toys.

"Oh, this is hopeless," said Rex.

Then, Buzz saw a nearby trampoline. "Not quite," he said.

"What are you gonna do, Buzz?" asked Woody.

"Watch this," Buzz said as he walked over to the trampoline.

Buzz jumped off the trampoline and spread his wings out. "To infinity and beyond!" he said as he flew to the top of the tree and grabbed the hamster.

With that, Buzz and the hamster made it to the ground.

"Are you all right, little fella?" Woody asked the hamster.

The hamster nodded.

Suddenly, the toys noticed one of the cats behind the hamster and ready to make a meal out of it.

Then, the cat grabbed the hamster with its mouth and kept it in it.

"Hey! We just saved that guy!" Buzz said as he hopped onto the cat's face.

After being messed around by Buzz, the cat spit the hamster out and ran away.

"Now, how do we deal with a hamster?" asked Buzz.

Jessie thought about it. "I know!" she said "Maybe we could adopt it."

"Great idea, Jessie!" said Woody.

So the toys went back inside the house with their new pet hamster, and there was not another animal problem again.
