Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!
Synopsis: Leslie (Amy Poehler) decides that a camping trip is just the thing the group needs to spark their creativity but things don’t go exactly as planned.
Cat Cattle Call: After the actual camping goes horribly wrong the group ends up at a bed and breakfast called The Quiet Corn run by an older woman named Elsa Clack (Annie O’Donnell). They soon learn that the residence includes several cats. A longhair gray and white cat occupies Leslie’s room. Ron (Nick Offerman) tells her that his room is filled with roughly twelve cats.
Leslie finds this out first hand when he locks her inside his room to keep her from working. We don’t see the cats in his room but we do see the one Mrs. Clack is carrying when she exits her room to complain about the noise.
The only time we see the numerous cats of the house is in the end tag when Ben (Adam Scott) and Jerry (Jim O’Heir) are a captive audience to Mrs. Clack playing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy on the piano.
Final Mewsings: Where is this bed and breakfast and how do we book a room?
