Mickey Visits a Cat Shelter

Season 1 Episode 1 | 3m 27s

Mickey has a thing about cats. He talks about them. He purrs and meows like them. He collects stuffed animal cats and he makes a lot of cat-based puns. But when he visits a cat shelter, maybe to take home a kitten of his own, his mother finds out Mickey is actually scared of the real thing, which is more unpredictable than he's comfortable with. But his cat patter serves a purpose.
