Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!
Synopsis: Max (Kat Dennings) wants to adopt the stray cat which shows up on the girls’ doorstep but Caroline (Beth Behrs) thinks the cat would be better off in a nicer home. Meanwhile the girls’ neighbor, Sophie (Jennifer Coolidge) is convinced the cat is the reincarnation of her friend Nancy.
Featured Feline: The stray cat which shows up at the girls’ apartment is an adorable orange tabby which Max names Kitty. The cat’s meow sounds like she is saying “Hello!” which becomes a running joke throughout the episode.
When the girls are trying to find Kitty a home they take it to a woman who says she would love a cat. As it turns out the woman owns 24 cats (31 when one of the cats gives birth) and Max refuses to leave Kitty with her.
The girls try to give Kitty away in an upscale neighborhood and failing that Max places her inside the window of an apartment. Kitty is attached to Max and doesn’t want to go.
Later a woman asks to put a flyer outside the girls’ cupcake window. It turns out to be a Missing Cat flyer for her cat, Jinxie, which is Kitty. The girls debate what to do when their neighbor Sophie shows up. She has previously explained to the girls how in Poland if someone dies outside it is believed they come back as a cat. When Sophie sees the picture of Kitty on the flyer she freaks out, saying it is her ex-friend Nancy.
The girls take the woman to the upscale neighborhood and find Kitty (whom they now call Nancy) and Max realizes the woman doesn’t even like the cat. In the end of the episode Caroline surprises Max by bringing her Nancy to keep. Nancy makes fast friends with the girls’ horse Chestnut.
The episode title refers to the way Max gently spanks Nancy on the bottom, chanting, “Kitty kitty, kitty kitty kitty,” and saying the cat likes it. She demonstrates this on several people as a way of explanation and that also becomes a running joke.
Nancy continues to live with the girls and has become a semi-regular on the series.
