Synopsis: An educational film shows children about the care of pets living in the city.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): The film focuses on a boy named Jimmy and his little dog Spot. On the way to the park, they pause at a pet store where we see many different animals but no cats. A boy named Mike is buying sand for his kitten’s litter box and the narrator promises we will see the kitten later in the film. Finally we do see Mike coming outside with his kitten as Jimmy and Spot are walking home from the park.
Jimmy introduces Spot to the kitten as the narrator asks the audience if they think the animals would have fun playing together.
Mike pets his kitten before going back inside.
Final Mewsings: If you want to keep your audience’s attention, don’t show the kitten until the end.
