“Cattus the Cute Monster” (“Gergasi Cattus”) is the 4th episode of the first season of BoBoiBoy Galaxy, and the 4th episode overall in the series.

Summary
BoBoiBoy, Gopal, Ying, Yaya, and Ochobot continue searching for the Power Sphere, but find a cute little creature along the way

Plot
The episode begins with Adu Du and Probe watching a commercial online in which Bago Go is trying to market a Power Sphere tracking device. Though the device is free, the battery it runs on is incredibly expensive. Probe purchases the device's battery after Adu Du faints using Adu Du's credit card, much to his dismay, and they travel to Gurunda to find the next Power Spheres.

On Gurunda, BoBoiBoy and his friends are resting around a campfire, having searched for the Power Sphere for two days. Ochobot recharges from teleporting around too much, while BoBoiBoy laments that they aren't doing so well, despite it being their first mission. Suddenly, a new cactus-cat hybrid alien—that Ying and Yaya find adorable—appears by the fire, eyeing BoBoiBoy's cup of water. BoBoiBoy offers the alien cat his drink, despite Gopal's protests to conserve their water supply. After drinking the water, everyone except Gopal takes a shine to the adorable cactus-cat. Gopal tries to chase it off, but it attacks him, much to BoBoiBoy's amusement. BoBoiBoy's power band abruptly sparks, which surprises and confuses him.

Adu Du and Probe enter a cave, having used their Power Sphere tracking device to trace the signal there. They find nothing, but are attacked by an unknown assailant. Sometime later, BoBoiBoy track the Power Sphere to the same cave, but find nothing but a broken net and signs of a shootout. They are soon approached by a mysterious figure, revealing himself to be a resident of Gurunda, Waibi. Waibi asks them for water and Ying gives him her share. Waibi explains that their town has been terrorized by the Gurunda Monster and he requests BoBoiBoy and his friend's help. They accept, and they travel to the Kaktoi village to find that one of the houses has been ransacked once again. Waibi explains that the monster used to be peaceful and got its water from the cacti behind the village, but the cacti had turned into a strange substance, revealed to be bubblegum which Gopal and Ying’s doing in the previous episode. BoBoiBoy resolves to defeat the monster and save the residents.

At Adu Du's spaceship, Adu Du has survived the attack, but is injured. He questions what's the best method of capturing a wild beast. Bago Go's show suddenly pops up and markets 'Bravery Raisins' that will supposedly help capture such a beast. Although Adu Du is initially upset over going into debt, he is determined to get the Power Spheres.

On Gurunda, BoBoiBoy and the others plan to use a large pool of water to lure the beast out, then Yaya and Ying will weaken it enough for BoBoiBoy to detain it. Gopal will then get to work reverting the bubblegum-cacti back to normal. As they wait for the beast to arrive, they spot the cactus-cat drinking out of the pool. Realizing that it is in danger, BoBoiBoy runs out and tries to get the cat to leave, but Waibi warns him to be careful, revealing that the beast was actually the cat. A tranquilizer dart narrowly misses the alien, revealed to be shot by Adu Du, having found Power Sphere. Ochobot scans the cactus-cat for the supposed Power Sphere. BoBoiBoy prepares to engage Adu Du in battle, but his Power Watch malfunctions and he is unable to transform. Adu Du shoots at the cactus-cat once again, but BoBoiBoy shields the cat and collapses. Upon seeing BoBoiBoy loose consciousness, the enraged cat transforms into a large cat-like beast and charges at Adu Du. Ochobot realizes what it really is and tells Yaya and Ying to protect the cat, but Probe appears to hinder their progress.

The cat-beast attacks Adu Du and is about to deal the final blow, but Probe stops it, having defeated both Yaya and Ying. Despite its ferocious nature, the beast becomes fascinated with the Energy Binds and starts playing with it, and later with Probe, giving Adu Du an idea. Using the laser pointer of his gun, Adu Du lures the cat into his trap, causing it to revert back to its smaller form. BoBoiBoy, having regained consciousness, absolves to save the cat, and manages to get his Power Band working to perform his Elemental Split. BoBoiBoy manages to drive off both Adu Du and Probe and save the cat.

Later on, Gopal finishes turning the cacti back to their original state. Waibi thanks them for helping them deal with the beast, but he warns Gopal not to turn their cacti into anything else. While Yaya and Ying are being entertained by the cat, Ochobot explains to BoBoiBoy that the cat's bell is actually a Power Sphere. The bell introduces itself as BellBot, the Power Sphere of Enlargement. Surprised by the turn of events, BoBoiBoy questions BellBot why he didn't tell them earlier, but BellBot tells him that he was still unsure whether or not they were malicious. BellBot explains that when he had landed on Gurunda, the cat was the first creature he met, and they became good friends. However, when Power Sphere Hunters arrived on the planet to search for him, BellBot gave the cat powers so he could defend and protect both BellBot and himself, revealing to the cast that the cat's name is Cattus.

They offer BellBot the chance to return with them to TAPOPS, where he can be properly taken care of and guarded, but BellBot says that he needed to stay with Cattus, having formed a symbiotic relationship with it. Ying laments that Koko Ci will not be pleased with their lack of a Power Sphere, but BoBoiBoy assures her that he will understand and Ochobot exclaims that all that mattered was that the mission was complete. After bidding farewell to their friends, they return back to Earth. Gopal expresses his relief that he didn't have to deal with the 'furious cat', but BellBot angrily challenges him, revealing that both he and Cattus had followed them through the portal. Cattus had evidently grown fond of them and wanted to come with them. Koko Ci appears to congratulate them on their first mission's success, but accidentally steps on Cattus' tail in the process. Enraged, Cattus transforms and chaos ensues.

Differences with the Comic
