"The Wow of Miaow" is the twenty-first episode of 101 Dalmatian Street. It premiered on Disney Channel UK & Europe on August 25, 2019 and premiered on Disney XD in the United States on April 5, 2021[1].
Synopsis[]
Dylan's ailurophobia (fear of cats) causes Guru-Miaow devotee Deepak to leave home and move in with their feline neighbor Constantin.
Plot[]
Deepak happily walks through the dalmatian house putting all of his siblings at ease with his meditative skills. Upon entering the backyard, he spots Constantin and the cats partaking in breathing exercises and yoga and joins them. The Dmitri Trio arrive and proceed to mock him for his love of cats. Dylan arrives with the intent to protect Deepak, but Constantin's mockery of him combined with his cat allergies prevents Dylan from backing up Deepak's arguments and begins to agree with the Dmitri Trio. Feeling betrayed as he feels that all animals should be treated with respect, Deepak packs up his belongings and decides to move in with Constantin.
Dylan tries to ignore Deepak abandoning the family until Dolly points out that the house is now even more disorganized. Deepak's meditative skills help to calm the household and without him everything falls apart. Dorothy becomes hostile, Triple-D cannot agree on anything, Dizzy and Dee Dee become even more accurately paranoid than Dante (much to his frustration) and Diesel's digging gets wildly out of control. Dylan finally buckles and decides to get his little brother back though he must wear a protective helmet to avoid his cat allergy. Upon arriving at Constantin's house, he is immediately greeted with disdain, but is allowed to come in.
Deepak agrees to return under the condition that Dylan perform 99 tasks. The first is to perform a haiku detailing cats superiority over dogs, to which Dylan flawlessly accomplishes. The second is to ignore food given to him, which he passes thanks to his helmet. The third has him touch a statue while avoiding red yarn. Dylan is able to succeed at this, but gets tangled up anyway. Constantin sorely admits that there were only three tasks and Dylan apologizes to Deepak who returns home and calms the puppies. As Dylan says another haiku, Dolly gets grossed out.
