Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Sometimes you just have to go for the quick hits when it comes to a show, especially one like this where it barely hits the three minute run time. But when you have source material like this, you can definitely have fun and this episode does it right as it showcases various cat owners in the series and some of the things their owners say to them at the start. If you have pets, you invariably say silly things to them and Moe and the others are no exception here. Going into that and some of the habits is priceless since, owning a cat myself, I can sympathize with nearly everything here. They don’t just do cats though as they cover a fe wother animals to good effect as well and continue to show the way Hide gets abused so easily by Poyo.
In Summary:
While we’ve had many episodes focusing on what happens when you have a cat, especially a cat like Poyo, taking an episode to generalize things that pet owners say and do is certainly appropriate. And highly accurate, though I would have appreciated a nod towards cats that come and sit in front of you when you’re at the computer, or sprawl across your laptop when you’ve got it on your lap. What we get here is a good quick hit series of things with various cats, dominated by Poyo, but also with the human cast as well as they run the gamut of things that happens when you own such creatures. It’s spot on and makes you grin like a fool since either you see yourself, see others you know or just thank heaven that you don’t have pets and don’t act like that. Especially if your parents used to call you by the dogs name.
