Hank's sworn enemy, chief competitor for table scraps, and all-around sneak -- Pete the Barncat is found -- well, around the barn, of course -- and other places where Hank isn't allowed like Sally's May's sacred front yard. Let Hank tell you about Pete:

"It's me again, Hank the Cowdog. Have I ever mentioned that I don't like cats? I don't like cats.And the cat I don't like the most, the cat I dislike with my whole entire body and soul, is a certain selfish, sneaking, lazy, never-sweat character on my ranch named Pete the Barncat."
