- Hi, welcome to the Los Angeles City Animal Shelter.

How can I help you?

- I'm lookin' to rescue a cat today.

- Oh my God, yes.

Did you have any particular kind in mind?

- No, no, nothing particular.

Just lookin' to give it a good home.

- Awesome, okay you are gonna follow me back here.

- Okay.

- Yeah, you're actually in luck.

We just got in a bunch of new kittens and a Himalayan.

- [Customer] (gasps) Look how cute it is!

- If I'm being totally honest, they're gonna have

a much easier time finding their fur-ever homes

than some of our other cats.

The ones really in need of rescuing are the Jellicles.

(suspenseful music)

(shocked humming)

- Mister Tater Totterous, at your service.

- That is a cat?

- Yeah, sadly there's a lotta Jellicles on the street.

They're you know, singing and dancing in alleys,

kind of rambling on about nonsense.

- Only one cat among us will be chosen to be reborn

in the Heaviside Layer.

- Yes you are.

- And what exactly is a Jellicle cat?

(laughing)

- I have no idea.

(gagging)

- Oh, God. (choking)

- Oh, oh.

- It's fine, it's fine.

Hi, there you go, get it out.

Oh you're okay.

He's fine, it's just a hairball.

- Here's the thing, this is my first pet.

I don't want anything too high maintenance.

- Okay, well don't judge too soon.

Mr. Tater Totterus has a lot of really great qualities.

He's up to date on his shots, he doesn't shed,

he does magic!

- What?

- [Cat] Ha-ha! (shouts)

- No!

Oh come on, isn't that whimsical and charming?

- No, it's weird and creepy.

He's got this sexual energy about him.

- [Employee] Yes.

- Is he neutered?

- Aggressively now.

- Is this your wallet?

- What the hell?

How did you do that?

♪ Tater Toterous tell your sons and daughterous ♪

♪ Never has there ever been a cat ♪

- Hey, no! - Give it back!

- No, we do not steal wallets here.

- Give me my wallet!

- Come on, wallet back!

Come on, I am so sorry about that.

- You know, I think I should just get a kitten.

- I understand, I'm used to rejection.

- Mr. Tater Totterous was a glamor cat, but he fell

on hard times, you know why.

And he was ostracized by the other Jellicles.

- I don't know what any of those words mean.

♪ Days I was super hot then ♪

- Wow.

♪ In the past I had sex with some cats ♪

- Maybe I will take him after all.

- [Employee] Great.

♪ They're a beautiful animal ♪

- Can I change his name?

- Absolutely not.

- [Customer] I'll take him anyway!

- Great, I will start the paperwork.

- Excellent.

- Oh.

(farting)

Oh, good boy.

- No (groans).

- That's a big one, size of a kitten.

(groaning)

- I don't think I can do this.

- Yes!

Wait, what? - Yeah.

- Look, if you don't adopt him today then we have to

put him down.

- I'm okay with that.
