Synopsis: Dolly Parton visits the Captain.
Cat Burglars (Scene Stealers): Late in the episode a film is shown featuring a mama cat and her kittens.
The kittens are newborns in the beginning.
The kittens then grow and are shown eating and playing.
A woman (not Dolly Parton!) sings about the kittens and the lyrics go something like this:
Sometimes a cat will have little baby
Kittens, kittens
Tiny and cute and needing their mother
Kittens, kittens
Mama cleans their newborn fur
Mama is busy feeding and caring
No need to worry 'bout what they're wearing
In a few weeks they'll grow to be bigger
Kittens, kittens
Learning by watching trying to figure
Kittens, kittens
Lapping milk and playing games
Waking their mom who's catching a cat nap
Rolling and tumbling having a scrap
Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow
Kittens, kittens
Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow
Kittens, kittens
Final Mewsings: There should be more songs about kittens!
Many thanks to Erin T. Aardvark for not only letting us know about the cats in this episode but also deciphering the lyrics of the song for us!
