- Rachel: Oh. My. God. (Poki meows) - [Rachel] One year ago, while driving through the mountains of Gifu, a scraggly cat dashed across the expressway in front of our car. We pulled over - which, I believe is illegal in Japan..... and I idiotically chased the cat to the other side and picked him up where he was eating some roadkill. He was not in great shape. We brought him home, where he pooped in one of our potted plants overnight, and we took him to the vet in the morning. He had a very broken leg, a tail that needed to be amputated, worms, and he was really underweight. And he was smelly. SO, SO SMELLY. You guys came through and more than covered the cost of his medical bills! Two months later, we brought home a completely different looking cat. (dramatic organ music)
And that's where it began. This is Haku. *cute meows* He's a Maine Coon. This is Nagi. He's a Norwegian Forest Cat. *kawaii trills* This is Poki. MMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAWWWWW mmmmmMMMMeeeEEEEaaaaAAAAAwwwwwWWWWWW MMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MMmmEEeeAAaaWWww We don't know what Poki is. Nothing is off-limits to Poki! Does Poki want in that room? Then Poki is going in that room! (quiet thump) Rachel: Poki, where are you going? Rachel: Where... (laughs) What are you doing? (ball thumps)
(Rachel groans) (Rachel laughs) Can you get in there? (Rachel laughs) Poki doesn't always make good exploration choices, though. Poki? Hey... (laughs) I see you (Poki meows quietly) Poki? Poki?
(Rachel makes beckoning noise) (Poki meows) (Jun murmurs) - [Rachel] What are you doing? Come here! Go on! Okay, he's out. (laughs) (bouncy music) Poki likes to play. And Poki comes first. So, playtime with anyone else, is actually playtime with Poki. (Rachel tsks) Rachel: Haku! (Rachel laughs) (Rachel laughs) (cat nails scratching on floor) Poki REALLY likes food. (Rachel snorts) Poki probably likes food more than anything else in the world. Ah, cat. (Rachel laughs) What are you doing buddy? You gonna act like you weren't just trying to open the cabinet? (Jun sighs) Now, we have child locks.
(Poki meows) He's straddling my leg, though. Rachel: God--he knows what it is! - [Jun] 'Sup? I feel like he can still get in. - He's gonna try, but he's just gonna be frustrated. - [Jun] I hope so.
- Yeah. - [Jun] Let's try then. Are you gonna put the other one? - Yeah. - [Jun] Bottom, there? - No no, I was gonna put it on this one. - [Jun] Oh. Experiment time!
(Rachel laughs) - Here you go, give it a shot. - [Jun] What if he actually learns how to open the thing? - It's impossible, you have to use two hands. (Jun laughs) - There's gonna be a lot of claw marks on the inside of these doors, but... ...we already gonna have to replace literally, like, everything when we move, anyway. - [Jun] My God. (Rachel and Jun laugh) - Cat. Poki knows where we throw away food. - [Jun] We just came back from Tokyo, and we hear something.
(cat meows) - I saw this (meow) this morning---he was sitting on top of here, pawing at the door and I was like
(cat meows) he's gonna get in the trash can one of these time.
(cat meows) Whose (meow)ing fault is this?
(Jun laughs) Whose fault is this? - [Jun] Guys, I swear I didn't do this. - [Rachel] (groans) It smells, ew. - [Jun] Oh wait, I am sure Poki smells even worse. - [Rachel] You went in the wrong one! There's not even food in this one, that's plastics! - [Jun] Put him in the...
- [Rachel] He smells so bad! - [Jun] Put him in the bathroom. - [Rachel;] Yeah. Come on! Alright, come on, smelly cat. What did you do?
(Jun laughs) Oh, god! What are we gonna do with you? Come on! - [Spongebob Squarepants narrator] The next day. - [Rachel] Poki! Did you learn nothing? What is your issue? Oh my god, this (meow)ing cat, I swear. Oh my god. Oh my god! Are you kidding me? Poki is also really persistent. (door thumps repeatedly) Poki. (claws scratching)
- [Rachel] (Meow)ing cat, this (meow)ing cat. (door thumping repeatedly) We use this for something else but, for now, so I can get back to work... we're gonna do this. What's your next move? (Rachel mutters unintelligibly)
I hate you. 8:21. Get your butt out. (Poki thumps to the floor)
(Rachel laughs) It doesn't work now, does it? Oh god, no...please, no, no, no, no. Just give up! Come on! Tree in the way, hopefully don't knock it down during the night Rachel: that's happened three times...to this pot, before! But (sighs) I think I can keep him out like this. - [Spongebob Squarepants narrator] Later. - Welcome to Jun's Kitchen. Today, I'd like to show you this... (laughs) (cat meows) - [Rachel] We were gone for five minutes!
(cat meows) Why do you keep going in the plastics?
- [Jun] Which one?
(cat meows) = [Rachel] He always goes in the plastics. You dumb butt, what are you...God! - [Jun] Wait, how... - [Rachel] W-w-w-w-w-w-wait. How much do you smell? (Rachel groans) You smell like trash again!
(Rachel groans) I have to give you a bath again! I'm so busy! (laughing) I'm so busy! Just let me work! I just have so much work! I don't have time for this! I can't handle you... - [Jun] I'll help you. I'll take care of this trash... - [Rachel] He's purring.
- [Jun] And I'm gonna do the laundry. - Alright?
- [Rachel] He's purring. (furniture dragging against the floor) Now whatcha gonna do? Poki is my baby. We love him anyway. (bouncy music continues)
Poki!! I love Rachel and Jun (and their cats) sooo much
Typical cat lol
