Synopsis: Impressed by Elly Mae (Donna Douglas) and her ingenuity with animals, Miss Hathaway (Nancy Kulp) encourages her to take a job at the bank.
Kitty Cameo: At the beginning of the episode, Elly Mae is watching as her critters play on a makeshift merry-go-round. A dog pushes it around while a chimpanzee plays a crank organ. Among the many animals riding on the contraption is Rusty the cat (played by cat actor Orangey).
Miss Hathaway arrives and comments on Elly’s talent for working with animals before bringing up the job at the bank.
Final Mewsings: It’s all fun and games until the animals get motion sickness.
