Episode 2384

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria stops by the Fix-It Shop in the early morning to check on Luis and the stray kitten; she wakes up Luis when he doesn't notice his alarm clock going off. He asks her to get some solid cat food to see if the kitten is strong enough to eat any. As she makes her way to the store downtown, she runs into Elmo, then Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus, informing them about getting food for the kitten. The three think they can help bring food too and dash off.

 	SCENE 2 	The front door to the Fix-It Shop is blocked by the foods the three have brought back - baskets of cabbages from Snuffy, bags of birdseed from Big Bird, and a chili dog cart courtesy of Elmo. Maria returns as the three argue over whose food is better. She tells them that kittens need kitten food, not what they've brought.

 	SCENE 3 	Everyone gathers in the store to watch the kitten be fed.

Elmo wants to help out, but mistakenly puts the food on Maria's nose instead, thinking that's what the cat will eat off of. Maria does the feeding herself, and they all cheer when the kitten quickly gobbles up the food.

Elmo announces the sponsors.
