Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: Kevin (Noah Reid) would rather forget his birthday and especially so when Julia (Amy Sedaris) has to handle a cat emergency and leaves him in charge of the office when a big project is due.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Julia calls the office to tell Kevin she won’t be in to work because her cat Rutger is in the hospital.  She is walking alongside a guerney where Rutger is lying covered with a sheet.

She walks along with the guerney as they move through corridors and she tells Kevin he is in charge.

Later in the episode Kevin and Audrey (Paige Spara) are eating cake (as are the rest of the employees) when Julia walks in pushing a baby carriage containing Rutger.

Patti (Punam Patel) walks up to welcome Julia back and to say she’s happy Rutger is okay.

Ricky (Jason Rogel) then approaches to offer Rutger some icing from his finger.  “He’s diabetic, you dunce!” Julia cries before licking the frosting off his finger herself.

It would appear that Rutger was played by the same cat actor who played Denny’s in an episode of Workaholics.

Final Mewsings: Even diabetic cats like a little frosting.
