Plot

SpongeBob thinks Gary is lonely while he's away at work all day, so he buys another pet... a flashy-colored nudibranch, which is a very dangerous pet. He calls it Puffy Fluffy. When Gary tries to play with it, it eats the play toy! Gary hops on SpongeBob's head (a reference to a Tom and Jerry cartoon). That night, Puffy Fluffy almost eats Gary. So he runs up to Spongebob and shows him the bed, Puffy Fluffy is asleep! The Puffy Fluffy on the bed is a green ball. Gary goes downstairs and Puffy Fluffy is a monster rading the fridge! it sets Spongebob's house on fire. Gary puts it out and Spongebob wakes up and finds Puffy Fluffy about to eat Gary. It puts Gary down and tries to eat Spongebob! Gary saves the day and the monster runs off. And the funny thing is, Spongebob blamed the house burning on GARY even though he saw Puffy Fluffy eating Gary!
