In a pet store near the cities of Sea-Saddle and Tackoma, a pair of aristocratic unicorns and a Zebrican shamare'm flagged down the shopkeeper. "We want to see ALL your cats." 

The unicorn mare held a ragged, damaged letter with her telekenesis, but put it away in her saddlebag.

Soon the zebra was kissing each cat on the cheek, while the unicorn stallion counted. "...one hundred fifty, one hundred fifty-one...is that ALL of your cats?"

"Yes," the shopkeeper said, "That's all of them. I'm sorry if you couldn't find the cat you wanted. But there's also a very nice shop a few leagues south of here, The Kit'n Caboodle, where you might want to take a look."

The unicorn mare nodded. Her husband said with brave determination, "We'll try there next. Someday, one way or another, we will find our missing daughter. Even if it means kissing all the cats in Equestria."

The Zebrican hoofed a little bag to the shopkeeper. "A few of your cats have nasty fleas. Scatter around this powder, please."

"Thank you, shamare'm and mare'm and sir. I'll do it for sure." The shopkeeper was rather cheerful, for a salespony who hadn't even made a sale. "And good luck finding your daughter, too!"

The unicorn stallion levitated a card to the shopkeeper. "If you ever meet or hear of a snowy white cat who seems especially delighted to answer to the name of Princess Petunia Foaliage Rainsparkle, and loves to be told that her unicorn parents love her and you'll help her see them again soon, be sure to let us know."

"Certainly!" The shopkeeper tucked away the card in a safe place.
