@whatewer23 Well to be fair, would it seem so much more likely that eating a wizard would grant you the same power the wizard had? And even if it did, would you automatically know how to use it? By that comparison the ending as it was shown is far more likely than the one you presented.
@warcactuar Puss always winged it; he rarely had a plan. Consequently, the story SEEMS convenient.
Admittedly, Puss is as you say - a con artist. However, we must remember that Puss desired to live simply and wanted the same for his master. His masters whining is what convinced Puss to prove his value by finding a means to make his master happy.
His master's worries are his own shortcoming for never having faith in Puss - who had proven himself time and again.
The beautiful aspect is Puss never wanted these things for himself, but did it all for his master. ...The master who was grateful for all Puss had wondrously done, but who also doubted his ability each time something dramatic would happen (oh ye of little faith).
Truly, there was never such a friend as the puss in boots.
The ending just doesnt feel right, according to one version of this story i saw, after pussy had helped his master to get a castle and a princess, the master was un thankfull and didnt give the cat any sorta rewards for his hard work.
Infuriated, cat used magick he obtained by eating that wizard to send his master back to his home, being poor and now lonely.
This story relies on too many convenient plot devices. Plus this story is the fairy tale equivalent of a tale starring a con artist. I don't see the cat as likable considering his antics make even his own master sweat and worry.

*gulps* The way Puss threatens the sorcerer is kinda dark for a kids' story, isn't it?
