An animated town is on a green hill.

A narrator says, IN THIS LITTLE TOWN LIVES A KITTEN NAMED COOKIE…

An animated cat in a sailor hat sits in a boat on water. A cat in stocking cap is pulled off the ground by a kite.

The narrator continues, HIS BIG BROTHER, PUDDING, AND THEIR LITTLE SISTER, CANDY.

A cat wearing a red bow skips rope. The three cats stand together. More cats appear.

The narrator says, LOTS OF OTHER KITTENS LIVE HERE, TOO. COOKIE, CANDY, AND PUDDING, KID-E-CATS.

A title reads: KID-E-CATS

All say, WE'RE CUTE!

Candy says, BUT I'M CUTER.

All say, ME-WOW!

An episode title reads: Tour Guide Pudding.

The narrator says, TOUR GUIDE PUDDING!

Tour buses fill a parking lot. Mommy and the kittens walk to one bus.

The narrator says, MOMMY HAD ARRANGED FOR THE KITTENS TO HAVE A TOUR OF A VERY SPECIAL PLACE.

Pudding says, I WANTED TO VISIT THIS ANCIENT CITY SINCE FOREVER! I'VE READ LOTS OF STUFF ABOUT IT AND I'LL FINALLY GET TO SEE IT FOR REAL. SO WILL YOU GUYS!

Mommy says, THERE WILL BE A TOUR GUIDE ON THE BUS TELLING US LOTS OF INTERESTING THINGS.

The kittens say, AWESOME!

Kittens singing, ME-WOW, ME-WOW, ME-WOW, ME-WOW!

The narrator says, ALL THE PASSENGERS TOOK THEIR SEATS ON THE BUS AND PUT THEIR SEATBELTS ON, READY.

(Music playing)

The bus driver presses a button and the bus doors close.

A yellow cat with grey hair, glasses and a purple dress stands at the front of the bus. She taps a microphone.

(Tapping)

The grey-haired cat says, CHECK, CHECK. CAN YOU HEAR ME? THE GUIDED TOUR BEGINS RIGHT NOW.

(Grunting)

The grey-haired cat says, THIS ANCIENT CITY WAS FOUNDED OVER 2000 YEARS AGO, AND AT THAT TIME ALL ROADS LED TO THE CITY BECAUSE IT WAS THE CENTRE OF TRADE AND ART.

The narrator says, MOMMY AND PUDDING LISTENED CAREFULLY TO WHAT THE TOUR GUIDE WAS SAYING, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE CANDY AND COOKIE WEREN'T SO INTERESTED.

(Beeping)

Cookie plays a game on a phone, while Candy listens to music. Mommy waves at them from across the aisle of the bus.

Mommy says, HEY.

She holds out her purse.

(Both sighing)

Cookie and Candy put their phones in the purse.

The grey-haired cat says, HM, YOU'LL SEE A VERY OLD BRIDGE IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, ONLY THIS ISN'T A BRIDGE, BUT AN AQUEDUCT, WHICH BROUGHT WATER TO THE CITY.

Cookie breathes on a window. He draws a boat in the condensation.

(Laughing)

Cookie says, I MADE A BOAT SAIL ON A BRIDGE, LOOK!

Everyone turns to look at Cookie.

(Passengers muttering)

Mommy whispers, COOKIE, CANDY, PAY ATTENTION.

The grey-haired cat says, THEY USED TO HAVE EXCITING CHARIOT RACES IN THE ANCIENT CITY.

A crow flies alongside the bus.

(Cawing)

Candy says, LOOK, THAT BIRD IS RACING THE BUS AND WINNING.

Cookie says, CAN WE SPEED UP? WE CAN'T LET THE BIRD BEAT US.

Mommy says, UH...

The grey-haired cat says, I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD. I HAVE A LOT OF FANTASTIC FACTS TO TELL YOU BEFORE WE GET TO THE CITY.

Pudding says, SO COOL, HUH?

Cookie says, SO NOT COOL. IT'S THE BORINGEST TOUR IN THE WORLD. I WISH THAT I WAS PLAYING ON MOM'S PHONE.

Candy says, AND I'D SO RATHER BE LISTENING TO MUSIC.

The grey-haired cat says, HM.

Mommy says, VERY WELL, HERE'S MY PHONE AND MP3 PLAYER. JUST PLEASE BE QUIET, ALRIGHT?

The grey-haired cat says, RULERS WORE LAUREL WREATHS INSTEAD OF CROWNS, WHICH WERE SYMBOLS OF VICTORY.

(Phone beeping)

Cookie cries, OH, YES!

The grey-haired cat fumbles the microphone.

(Gasping)

Cookie cries, I WON!

(Shushing)

Mommy whispers, COOKIE, QUIET!

Candy closes her eyes. She wears earbuds.

Candy singing, HOT NEAR VOLCANOES. COLD NEAR SNOW AND ICE BUT INSIDE MY DREAMS IT'S REALLY NICE.

The bus drives by a stone wall. Crows take off from the wall.

(Cawing)

Mommy says, FINE, GIVE ME THOSE BACK, RIGHT NOW. QUIETLY SIT THERE AND FOCUS ON THE TOUR GUIDE.

(Both sighing)

The bus stops by a partially crumbled stone wall.

The grey-haired cat says, ALRIGHT, WE'RE HERE, EVERYBODY. TIME FOR US TO GET OFF THE BUS.

The bus door opens, and the passengers step down.

Cookie says, OH, FINALLY, I'M SO TIRED AND BORED.

Pudding says, HOORAY! WE'RE GOING TO THE ANCIENT CITY FOR REAL!

Cookie says, WHAT? YOU MEAN THERE'S MORE OF ALL THIS? I DON'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE! I'VE ALREADY SUFFERED ENOUGH.

(Bus driving away)

Candy says, I WANT TO GO HOME, TOO.

Mommy says, OH, MY DEAR KITTENS, IF YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO, WE'LL GO HOME THEN.

Pudding says, WHAT ABOUT THE ANCIENT CITY TOUR? I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SEE THIS SINCE FOREVER.

Mommy says, IT'LL BE ALRIGHT, PUDDING. YOU AND I CAN COME BACK HERE ANOTHER TIME.

Pudding says, BUT I WANTED CANDY AND COOKIE TO COME TO THE ANCIENT CITY AS WELL, BECAUSE IT IS INTERESTING!

Cookie asks, WHAT COULD BE SO INTERESTING ABOUT A PLACE THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE PHONES OR MUSIC PLAYERS?

Pudding imagines cats in togas playing pipes and harps.

Pudding says, BUT THEY HAD LIVE MUSIC PLAYED EVERYWHERE! THE ANCIENT PEOPLE WHO LIVED HERE REALLY LOVED MUSIC AND THE MUSICIANS THAT PLAYED FOR THEM.

Daddy carves a statue while Mommy poses. Pudding plays a drum.

The fantasy ends.

Candy says, WOW, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO LIVE IN A CITY THAT WAS THAT MUSICAL.

Cookie points to an old ship with oars and a sail.

Cookie says, WHOA, LOOK, NOW THAT IS AN AWESOME SHIP!

Pudding says, YOU KNOW, THE MAST OF THESE SHIPS WAS REMOVABLE. WHEN THERE WASN'T ANY WIND THEY RODE WITH OARS, BUT WHEN THE WIND PICKED UP, THEY PUT UP THE MAST.

Pudding imagines his family on the boat. Daddy puts up the mast and the boat sails quickly over the water.

(Laughing)

Cookie says, WOW, THAT'S SO COOL! I JUST NEVER KNEW THAT THE CATS OF THE ANCIENT CITY WERE THAT COOL AND CLEVER.

Mommy says, YOU SEE, DEAR KITTENS? THE TOUR IS VERY INTERESTING, YOU JUST NEED TO LISTEN CLOSELY.

Candy says, I HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA. WE SHOULD GO BACK TO THE TOUR AND BE SURE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO THE TOUR GUIDE.

Mommy says, WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, OUR GUIDED TOUR HAS MOVED ON.

Pudding says, THAT'S ALRIGHT, I'VE ALREADY LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE CITY'S HISTORY. I CAN GUIDE YOU ALL ON A TOUR.

The kittens cry, SO AWESOME!

Kittens singing, ME-WOW, ME-WOW, ME-WOW, ME-WOW!

(Music playing)

Pudding leads his family past ruins and marble statues of cats.

The narrator says, CLEVER PUDDING KEPT HIS LITTLE FAMILY TOUR SUPER HAPPY AS HE GUIDED THEM AROUND THE ANCIENT CITY, TELLING STORIES OF ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THERE, AND COOKIE AND CANDY BECAME HISTORY LOVERS JUST LIKE HIM.

Pudding stands outside a coliseum. The grey-haired cat and bus passengers listen and applaud him.
