A zebra runs, a pink and yellow snake slithers, An elephant sings out of its trunk, eyes on the feathers of a peacock blink. A pig holds an umbrella.

The Animanimals march one by one across the orange ground. The pig sits on the elephant’s back.

The Animanimals sing,
ANIMANIMALS
ANIMANIMALS

A large cloud shakes. The other Animanimals look surprised.

The cloud sings,

The Animanimals say, HUH?

Text reads, “Animanimals. By Julia Ocker”.

(Meowing)

Text reads, “Cats”.

A grey cat wearing a yellow apron and a white baker’s hat enters a kitchen. The cat holds a cookbook and a ladle as it approaches a pot.

The cat says, HM.

It opens the cookbook to a picture of mice floating in a stew with mushrooms, carrots, and peas. The cat licks its lips and rubs its stomach.

It says, YUM.

The cat looks at an ingredients list. Carrots, potatoes, a beet, and a spring onion are needed along with three mice.

The cat says, HM.

It reaches into a drawer and pulls out the ingredients. The cat places three tied-up mice on the counter.

(Chopping)

The cat cuts up the beet. The grey mice look up at fruit laying on a platter on the counter.

(Mice squeaking)

(Panting)

The mice rush toward the fruit. They leap together onto a green apple and fall off.

(Grunting)

The mice fall back onto the counter. The cat turns to them.

The cat says, OH.

(Mice panting)

The mice rush back to the fruit platter.

(Grunting)

The mice jump onto the green apple again.

(Exclaiming)

The cat watches the mice fall off the apple. It cuts off their ropes and they run across the counter.

The mice laugh.

A mouse says, HM.

One by one the mice jump onto the platter. They slide down a banana and land on one another.

(Chuckles)

The cat laughs. It looks at the directions in the cookbook and pours the cut-up vegetables into the pot.

The mice stand on top of the platter and reach for a hanging basket filled with garlic. The cat picks up the mice and places them in the basket. It pushes them like a swing.

The mice shout,
WOO, WOO, WOO,
WOO, WOO, WOO,
WOO, WOO…

One of the mice gives the cat a high-five.

The cat opens the cookbook again. An instruction shows water being poured into the pot.

(Indistinct)

The cat smiles as it walks past the swinging mice. It fills a pitcher of water at the sink.

(Exclaiming)

The mice run to the cat. One of the mice pulls on the cat’s apron string. The cat shrugs and fills the sink with water and dish soap. The mice dive into the bubbly water.

(Playful laughter)

The mice splash each other as the cat carries the pitcher to the pot.

(Laughing)

The mice are covered in bubbles.

(All laughing)

The cat reaches into the water and pulls out a handful of bubbles. It rubs the bubbles on its face and laughs.

(Sniffing)

The cat smells the stew cooking. It scoops the mice out of the water and carries them to the pot. The cat looks at the cookbook and reads the step where mice are added to the stew.

(Yells)

The cat tosses the cookbook into the air. It covers the eyes of the mice.

(Grumbling)

The cat places the mice back down on the counter. It picks up the cookbook and throws it in a garbage can. The cat then places three red mugs in front of the mice. It serves them stew

The mice say, MM.

The cat and the mice eat the stew.

(Exclaiming)
