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

Synopsis: Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is frustrated after being dumped by two women and tries to sabotage Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (Jake Johnson).  In the meantime, Winston (Lamorne Morris) finds out that his cat needs to be neutered and tries to get him some action before the operation.

Featured Feline: Ferguson the cat returns in this episode, first showing up when Schmidt and Winston are in the living room overhearing Jess and Nick’s lovemaking.

The cat actor playing Ferguson seems restless during this scene.

Kitty Cameos: When Winston learns from the vet that Ferguson will need to be neutered, he comments to Jess and Nick how the poor cat will never know lovemaking.  Jess and Nick jokingly suggest hooking Ferguson up but Winston takes it seriously.  Winston takes Ferguson to a pet store and is looking at a long-haired white cat.

A woman named Kylie (Riki Lindhome) comes in to pick up her Himalayan cat Fatty.  Winston approaches her about getting the cats together but she thinks he is making a date with her.

Kylie shows up at the apartment with Fatty and Winston asks her in.

Kylie still thinks Winston wants to hook up with her and doesn’t realize he is serious about getting the cats together.  At the end of the episode Winston realizes the opportunity he has missed.  But he’s not alone; Ferguson and Fatty don’t hook up, either.

Final Mewsings: Can a dating service for cats be too far off?
