"**Catching Felines**" is the first segment in the tenth episode of the first season of ***Hailey's On It!***. It is also the eighteenth episode of the season overall and premiered on July 8, 2023 on Disney Channel.

Plot
Hailey asks Beta to give her an easy item to do so that she and Scott can get Wild Katz sneakers the following day. Beta agrees and tells her that she needs to make a female friend, something that perplexes Scott. Hailey mentions a girl who moved away four years ago, while Scott points out that she could easily befriend Kristine, unaware of the underlying conflict for Hailey, but she turns both ideas down. Becker, Scott's younger sister, is obsessed with doing dangerous and outlandish things, but Hailey suggests that she could make her her new female friend, despite Scott thinking that she may be too wild for her. Hailey is further motivated as she refuses to be Kristine's best friend.
Hailey goes to see Becker and propositions being her friend and hanging out with her. While confused by the gesture, she ultimately accepts for Scott's sake. The first thing they agree to do together is build a birdhouse, only for Becker to blow it up, something she readily enjoys. When Hailey mentions that she is getting Wild Katz, Becker informs her that she could get them for her and Scott without them having to wait in line as "Bonesaw owes me a favor". Hailey thanks Becker, but the very next day, Hailey wakes up to discover two pumas in her front yard, frightening her and Scott who is baffled as to why Becker would do such as a thing.
Hailey and Scott manage to wrangle the two pumas to take them back to the wildlife preservation, but Hailey gets a call from Becker asking why the shoes she got them are destroyed. Realizing that Becker did indeed fulfill her promise, the two are distracted and accidentally release the pumas, only to get chased by them. Becker arrives to rescue them and has her friend "Chainsaw" get the pumas back (Bonesaw worked at retail). Becker is slightly offended that Hailey doubted her, but she accepts their apology. Hailey tells Becker that she would not mind hanging out with her again and she and Scott leave to get the shoes. Becker believes that Hailey is crushing on her and tells Chainsaw that she wants to kiss her now.
