THREE REMARKABLE LITTERS. [ MEOWS ] THREE FASCINATING BREEDS. ONE AMAZING STORY. [ KITTENS MEOWING ] KITTENS COMING OF AGE. THE FIRST 10 WEEKS
OF THEIR LIVES WILL BE A COLORFUL,
ADORABLE ADVENTURE... AND A TOTALLY WILD RIDE... ...BECAUSE THESE KITTENS
ARE SIMPLY TOO LOVABLE... ...TOO CURIOUS... [ MEOWS ] ...TOO CUTE. --<font color="#FFFF00"> Captions by VITAC --</font><font color="#00FFFF">

DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS [ KITTENS MEOWING ] THESE SIX TINY KITTENS
JUST OPENED THEIR EYES. THEY'RE 8 DAYS OLD
AND TAKING IN A WHOLE NEW WORLD. IT'S A FAMILY
OF TONKINESE KITTENS, OR TONKS FOR SHORT. TONKS WERE BRED IN THE 1960s, BLENDING THE BEST TRAITS OF
BOTH BURMESE AND SIAMESE CATS. THEY HAVE
THE BURMESE SENSE OF PLAY AND, LIKE THEIR SIAMESE COUSINS,
CAN BE QUITE CHATTY. [ KITTENS MEOWING ] THOUGH TONKINESE KITTENS ARE BORN A CREAMY WHITE
WITH DARK EYES, OVER TIME,
THEIR COATS WILL DARKEN AND THEIR EYES
WILL TURN ICY BLUE... JUST LIKE THEIR TWO MOTHERS. QUEENIE AND PRINCESS
GAVE BIRTH TO THEIR LITTERS JUST ONE DAY APART. [ KITTENS MEOWING ] AND THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER
TO FORM ONE BIG EXTENDED FAMILY. QUEENIE
IS ACTUALLY PRINCESS' MOTHER, SO THE FAMILY TREE
GETS PRETTY COMPLICATED. READY? PRINCESS' KITTENS
ARE QUEENIE'S GRANDKITTENS. QUEENIE'S KITTENS,
ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE PRINCESS'
HALF BROTHERS AND SISTERS. AND THE KITTENS ARE AUNTS AND
UNCLES AND NEPHEWS AND NIECES TO ONE ANOTHER. BUT PRINCESS AND QUEENIE ARE HAPPY TO FEED AND CARE
FOR ALL THEIR KITTENS, NO MATTER WHOSE IS WHOSE. THIS LITTLE GUY, COOKIE,
IS AS SWEET AS THEY COME. HE'S EXTREMELY FOCUSED
ON THE TASK AT HAND -- GETTING ALL THE BREAKFAST HE CAN AND MAYBE EVEN AN EXTRA HELPING
IF NO ONE STOPS HIM. HIS BROTHER MUFFIN
ISN'T FARING QUITE SO WELL. HE'S FINDING COMMUNAL LIVING
A BIT TOO COZY. [ KITTEN MEOWS ] MUFFIN'S HAD IT WITH CROWDING AND MAKES A DARING MOVE
TO FIND SOME BREATHING SPACE. [ MUFFIN MEOWING ] BUT WITH TWO PAIRS OF EYES
WATCHING, IT'S NOT EASY FOR THE LITTLE
EXPLORER TO BREAK AWAY... ...ESPECIALLY WITH EAGER
FIRST-TIME MOM PRINCESS ON DUTY. BUT BROTHERS MUFFIN AND COOKIE KNOW THERE'S AN UPSIDE
TO THE EXTRA SECURITY -- TWICE AS MUCH LOVE. ANOTHER STORY IS UNFOLDING
OVER IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, HOME TO SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST
STYLISH AND SOPHISTICATED... ...CATS. IKEA, TRUE TO HER NAME,
IS A FAN OF SLEEK DESIGN AND LIVES IN A ONE-BEDROOM
APARTMENT FURNISHED WITH FLAIR. THESE DAYS, IKEA HAS
MORE THAN STYLE ON HER MIND. SHE'S GOT A LITTER
OF 9-DAY-OLD KITTENS WHO SPORT THE UNIQUE CURLED EARS
OF THEIR BREED, THE AMERICAN CURL. THESE KITTENS WERE ACTUALLY BORN
WITH STRAIGHT EARS, BUT DURING
THEIR FIRST WEEK OF LIFE, THEIR EARS SLOWLY CURLED BACK
LIKE ROSE PETALS. THIS TRAIT COMES
FROM A GENETIC MUTATION THAT APPEARED IN THE '80s
AND IS NOW A BREED STANDARD. BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A NEW BREED, THERE ARE ONLY A FEW THOUSAND
AMERICAN CURLS WORLDWIDE. [ MEOWING ] IKEA'S FOUR KITTENS
HAVE JUST OPENED THEIR EYES. [ MEOWING ] LITTLE JONAS CAN'T SEEM
TO GET COMFORTABLE. HE'S A RESTLESS SOUL. KITTENS SLEEP UP TO 20 HOURS
PER DAY, BUT NOT IF THEY CAN'T
FIND A GOOD SPOT. JONAS TRIES EVERYTHING
AND EVERYWHERE, BUT CAN'T SETTLE DOWN. ALL THIS WIGGLING IS KEEPING
HIS SISTER FABRINA AWAKE, TOO. AND SHE TRIES
TO SQUIRM AWAY FROM HIM. [ KITTENS MEOWING ] NOW THAT SHE'S UP, LITTLE SISTER FABRINA REALIZES
LIFE'S TOO EXCITING. THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD OUTSIDE
HER BED, AND SHE WANTS IN. SHE NEVER STOPS MOVING,
NOT EVEN FOR A NEW YORK MINUTE. IKEA WOULD LIKE ALL HER KITTENS
TO TUCK IN FOR THE NIGHT. THEY NEED THEIR BEAUTY REST. IF NEW YORK
IS THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS, FABRINA AND JONAS
WILL FIT RIGHT IN. [ KITTENS MEOWING ] IN THE HEART OF SUBURBIA,
A NEW MOM NAMED SIERRA IS BUSY WITH HER 6-DAY-OLD BROOD
OF MAINE COON KITTENS. MAINE COONS ARE ONE OF
THE OLDEST AND LARGEST BREEDS OF DOMESTIC CATS. IT'S SAID THE MAINE COON
CAME TO THE UNITED STATES OVER 200 YEARS AGO
BY WAY OF SHIPS FROM FRANCE. MAYBE THEIR SEAFARING ROOTS
ARE THE REASON THEY LOVE WATER. AFTER THEIR ARRIVAL, THEY
CONTINUED TO EVOLVE ON THEIR OWN IN THE FORESTS OF MAINE. THEIR THICK COATS
AND OVERSIZED PAWS HELP THEM SURVIVE SNOWY WINTERS. AT MORE THAN 25 POUNDS, ADULT MAINE COONS
ARE GIANTS AMONG CATS, BUT THE KITTENS
ARE ONLY ABOUT 6 OUNCES EACH. IF THESE LITTLE GUYS WANT TO BE
IMPOSING FIGURES LIKE MOM, THEY HAVE TO EAT AT LEAST A QUARTER
OF THEIR BODY WEIGHT PER DAY. THIS ORANGE FELLOW IS DANTE, AND HE'S TAKING A LITTLE LONGER
TO GET THE HANG OF, WELL, EVERYTHING. TO DANTE, FINDING A FEEDING SPOT IS LIKE FINDING A NEEDLE
IN A DARK, FURRY HAYSTACK. NO FOOD OVER THERE. [ DANTE MEOWS ] OR THERE. DANTE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT'S UP AND WHAT'S DOWN. [ MEOWING CONTINUES ] BUT HE'S DOING HIS BEST. ORANGE CATS ARE FOUR TIMES
MORE LIKELY TO BE MALE CATS. AND A SLEEPY DANTE IS FOUR TIMES
MORE LIKELY TO BE ADORABLE. UNLIKE DANTE, DARK AND LOVELY
LULU DOESN'T MESS AROUND. SHE FINDS HER FEEDING SPOT
RIGHT AWAY. [ LULU MEOWING ] LULU DOESN'T KNOW
SHE'S A SMALL FRY, OR MAYBE SHE DOESN'T CARE. IF LULU WANTS, SAY, A KISS
FROM MOM, LULU GOES AND GETS IT. AFTER DANTE WORKED SO HARD
TO GET HIS SPOT AT THE TABLE, THE TABLE DECIDES DINNER'S OVER. A GIANT BREED
DOESN'T JUST MEAN BIG EATERS. IT MEANS GIANT NAPPERS, TOO. COMING UP... JONAS IS IN WAY OVER HIS HEAD... AND MUFFIN AND COOKIE
GET AN AIRLIFT HOME. Narrator:
OVER AT THE TONKINESE HOUSE, THERE'S SOMETHING
TO SNEEZE ABOUT. MOTHER QUEENIE
HAS CAUGHT A COMMON COLD. HER VET PRESCRIBED REST
AND A BREAK FROM MOTHERING. SHE'S BEEN SEPARATED FROM
PRINCESS AND ALL THEIR KITTENS SO THEY DON'T GET SICK, TOO. BUT THE GOOD THING
ABOUT HAVING TWO MOMS AROUND IS ONE CAN TAKE OVER
THE BABY-SITTING WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH. PRINCESS,
THE LESS EXPERIENCED MOM, IS NOW IN CHARGE OF TWO LITTERS
ON HER OWN, WHILE QUEENIE RECOVERS
IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR. LOOKS LIKE PRINCESS
HAS HER PAWS FULL... REALLY FULL. TO MUFFIN
AND HIS BROTHER COOKIE, ONE LESS BABY-SITTER
MEANS DOUBLE THE FREEDOM. ALL IT TAKES IS A SIGNAL
THAT PRINCESS ISN'T WATCHING... [ KITTEN MEOWING ] ...AND THESE 4-WEEK-OLD BANDITS HEAD OFF
TO SURVEY THE TERRITORY. AND WHERE DO THEY GO? THE ONE PLACE THEY'RE
NOT ALLOWED -- THE STAIRS. BREAKING RULES IS FUN, BUT THERE'S A REASON
THE STAIRS ARE OFF-LIMITS -- KITTENS GET STUCK. [ MUFFIN MEOWS ] PRINCESS HEARS MUFFIN'S S.O.S. EVEN THOUGH SHE'S BUSY
WITH FOUR OTHER KITTENS, SUPER MOM PRINCESS
IS THERE IN A FLASH TO RESCUE THE TWO RUNAWAYS. AIRLIFT SUCCESSFUL. BUT THE MISSION
IS ONLY HALF COMPLETE. PRINCESS IS DOING HER BEST, BUT CHILDCARE SURE WAS EASIER
WHEN QUEENIE WAS AROUND. [ MEOWS ] BACK IN THE CITY, THE 3-WEEK-OLD AMERICAN CURLS
HAVEN'T YET LEFT THEIR BED. AND FOR RESTLESS CITY KITTIES
JONAS AND FABRINA, IT'S TIME TO BUST OUT. THEY'RE ABOUT TO DISCOVER
THEY LIVE IN A KITTY PARADISE, WITH COOL STUFF OF ALL SHAPES
AND SIZES TO CLIMB ON. A SMALL APARTMENT
LOOKS AWFULLY BIG WHEN YOU WEIGH JUST 10 OUNCES, BUT FABRINA IS READY
TO SEE EVERY INCH OF IT. THE SIBLINGS HANG BACK, BUT SOON JONAS GETS THE ITCH
TO EXPLORE, TOO. AS HIS FIRST BIG QUEST, JONAS DECIDES TO SCALE
THE LIVING ROOM OTTOMAN. [ JONAS MEOWS ] HE'S WILLING TO STEP ON ANYONE
TO GET TO THE TOP... INCLUDING FABRINA. FABRINA JOINS JONAS
AT THE OBSERVATION DECK, AND THE VIEW IS WORTH THE CLIMB. FABRINA WANTS TO GET DOWN FIRST. THERE'S LOTS MORE TO EXPLORE. SUDDENLY ALONE,
JONAS IS A BIT OVER HIS HEAD. "HOW DID FABRINA
GET DOWN SO QUICKLY?" [ JONAS MEOWING ] BUT WITH MOM WATCHING... ...JONAS TRIES TO BE BRAVE... ...AND TAKES
A DIFFERENT STRATEGY. [ JONAS MEOWS ] [ MEOWS ] ANY LANDING YOU CAN
WALK AWAY FROM IS A GOOD ONE. [ MEOWS ] [ MEOWS ] WHILE JONAS GETS SOME PRAISE
FROM MOM... FABRINA DECIDES
SHE'S NOT FINISHED EXPLORING. [ FABRINA MEOWS ] WITH PAWS ON THE GROUND
AND EYES ON THE ROAD, FABRINA IS OUTWARD BOUND. [ MEOWING CONTINUES ] BUT THAT'S ENOUGH DISTANCE
FOR ONE DAY. TIME TO GET BACK TO MOM. BACK AT THE MAINE COON HOUSE, THE 3-WEEK-OLD KITTENS
ARE STARTING TO GET THEIR DISTINCTIVE
LONG, LUSH COATS. LULU IS FEELING CONFIDENT
IN DARK GRAY, [ LULU MEOWING ] AND SHE'S SHOUTING IT
FROM THE ROOFTOPS -- OR AT LEAST FROM THE BLANKET. BOLD SINCE BIRTH, LULU ALWAYS
TRIES TO GET THE LAST WORD. THE MORE MOBILE DANTE GETS,
THE MORE CLUMSY HE SEEMS. HE'S ONLY 14 OUNCES, BUT SOMEDAY HE'LL WEIGH OVER
25 POUNDS LIKE HIS FATHER, SABU. SABU IS MEETING HIS KITTENS
FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT AT 27 POUNDS, HE'S MORE
THAN A LITTLE INTIMIDATING. LULU WANTS TO KNOW
WHO THIS BIG GUY THINKS HE IS, AND DOESN'T HE KNOW
THOSE TOYS ARE HERS? SABU IS TRYING HIS BEST TO BE A
DAD, BUT AT ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD... HE'S REALLY
JUST A BIG KITTEN HIMSELF. HE WANTS TO MAKE NICE AND LOVE
THESE GUYS AS HARD AS HE CAN. [ GROWLING ] BUT THAT'S SORT OF THE PROBLEM. LULU TRIES TO BE FRIENDLY... [ SABU GROWLING ] ...BUT SABU NEEDS TO WORK
ON HIS ETIQUETTE. DANTE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S IN FOR. OR MAYBE HE DOES. LULU WARNS HIM. [ MEOWS ] DANTE GATHERS HIS COURAGE
AND GREETS HIS NEW PLAYMATE. HE WONDERS WHEN
THE, UH, FUN WILL END. LIKE A NOR'EASTER STORM, SABU,
THE MAINE COON DAD, LEAVES AS QUICKLY AS HE CAME. AND THE KITTENS AREN'T SURE
WHAT HIT THEM. COMING UP... THE AMERICAN CURLS
BREAK THE SPEED LIMIT. Narrator:
OVER AT THE TONKINESE HOUSE, QUEENIE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM,
WITH A COLD... SO PRINCESS IS FLYING SOLO,
MOTHERING BOTH THEIR LITTERS. AND SOMETIMES IT'S A ROUGH RIDE,
LIKE AT LUNCHTIME. ALL SIX KITTENS
MAKE A RUSH FOR IT. WITH HALF THE FEEDING SPOTS, THEY'VE GOT TO GET IN THERE
WITH GUSTO. AND THEY DO. JUST ASK PRINCESS. THIS MOM NEEDS A BREAK. BUT HELP IS ON THE WAY. [ KITTEN MEOWS ] THE KITTENS AREN'T WEANED YET, BUT WITH ONE MOM DOWN
FOR THE COUNT, THEY'RE STARTING ON SOFT FOOD
EARLY. LITTLE GO-GETTERS
MUFFIN AND COOKIE DECIDE THIS DISH IS ALL THEIRS. [ BOTH MEOW ] IT SEEMS LIKE HUNGRY KITTENS
HAVE VERY BAD TABLE MANNERS. AT AROUND 5 WEEKS OLD, KITTENS START DEVELOPING
THE ABILITY TO RIGHT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY JUMP OR FALL SO THEY CAN SAFELY LAND
ON ALL FOURS. BACK AT THE APARTMENT
IN THE CITY, THE AMERICAN CURL KITTENS
ARE THE PERFECT SIZE TO ENJOY
THEIR CITY-KITTY PARADISE. AT 5 WEEKS, THE ADVENTUROUS DUO
FABRINA AND JONAS ARE FURRY BUNDLES OF ENERGY. AND THEY LOVE
TO EGG EACH OTHER ON. [ JONAS MEOWS ] THEY SPEED UPTOWN... AND DOWNTOWN. IKEA IS STUCK IN TRAFFIC. [ CAR HORNS BLARING ] ONCE DAUNTED BY THE OTTOMAN, JONAS CONQUERS IT
AND MAKES IT HIS. HE DARES FABRINA
TO KNOCK HIM OFF. [ MEOWS ] NOT TO BE OUTDONE, FABRINA CLIMBS TO THE TOP OF THE
EMPIRE STATE SCRATCHING POST. IT'S ABOUT 15 KITTENS HIGH. BUT SHE'S BEEN SO BUSY
ON HER PERCH, SHE LOST JONAS. HE'S GOT TO BE AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE. "TAG. YOU'RE IT." AT THE MAINE COONS' HOUSE
IN THE SUBURBS, THE 6-WEEK-OLD KITTENS ARE JUST
LEARNING TO TACKLE THE STAIRS. BUT THE TRIP IS WORTH IT BECAUSE THE STAIRS LEAD
TO THEIR BIG MAMA, SIERRA. SHE'S ENJOYING A DRINK
AT HER FAVORITE WATERING HOLE. HER KITTENS HAVE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE. IN THE WILD, MAINE COONS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO
FISH OUT OF RIVERS AND STREAMS. THEIR THICK COATS
ARE WATER-RESISTANT, KEEPING THESE BIG CATS
WARM AND DRY. MAINE COONS
ARE FASCINATED BY WATER, MAYBE BECAUSE
OF THE WAY IT MOVES. BUT TO DANTE, RUNNING WATER
IS SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY. MOM SIERRA DEMONSTRATES. "LOOK. IT'S FUN." BUT FUN IS SUBJECTIVE. BRAVE LITTLE LULU TRIES
TO WARM UP TO THE STUFF. BUT CLEARLY,
WATER IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. DANTE IS WILLING TO EXPLORE... ...BUT IS A LITTLE CONFUSED
ABOUT WHAT GOES WHERE. OH, WELL. YOU CAN LEAD A KITTEN TO WATER,
BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM PLAY. SIERRA ENDS THE DEMONSTRATION, AND THE KITTENS HEAD BACK
TO THE PLAYROOM. LED BY DANTE... WITH HIS USUAL FLAIR. COMING UP... MUFFIN AND COOKIE DISCOVER
A SUPER-SECRET PASSAGEWAY. AND FABRINA AND JONAS
EXPAND THEIR TERRITORY. AND NOW A "TOO CUTE" QUIZ. IS IT THE NIMBLE TONKINESE... THE FLUFFY AMERICAN CURL... OR THE OVERSIZED MAINE COON? THE ANSWER NEXT. Narrator:
THE ANSWER -- THE MAINE COON. THE EXTRA DIGITS HELP MAINE
COONS WALK MORE EASILY ON SNOW, EARNING THEM THE NICKNAME
"SNOWSHOE CATS." OVER AT THE MAINE COONS' HOUSE, LULU AND HER LITTER ARE ENJOYING
A LAZY SUNDAY MORNING. DANTE IS JUST SETTLING DOWN
WHEN... ...TROUBLE WALKS IN. TROUBLE WANTS TO PLAY... ...AND PLAY HARD. SINCE DAD SABU LAST VISITED, LULU'S DOUBLED IN SIZE
AND TRIPLED IN CONFIDENCE, AND SHE DEFINITELY REMEMBERS
THIS GUY. [ HISSES ] WOW, THAT'S A BIG HISS
FOR A LITTLE GIRL. MESSAGE RECEIVED. [ LULU HISSES ] OVER AND OUT. OVER AT THE TONKINESE HOUSE,
IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE FIRST-TIME MOM PRINCESS
TOOK OVER. AND SHE'S FINALLY GOT THE HANG OF CARING FOR THE DOUBLE DOSE
OF KITTENS. AS FAR AS SHE'S CONCERNED,
THEY'RE ALL HER BABIES. MEANWHILE,
QUEENIE'S COLD IS BETTER, BUT SHE'S GOTTEN VERY ATTACHED
TO HER FANCY COUCH AND ALL THE QUIET TIME. EAGER MOM PRINCESS
IS QUITE HAPPY WHERE SHE IS, AND SHE COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE
IF SHE WANTED TO. NOW, WITH ONLY ONE BABYSITTER
ON DUTY, COOKIE AND MUFFIN GET UP TO NO
GOOD IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. BOYS WILL BE BOYS. A LITTLE SOCCER. THEN SOME BOXING. THIS CLIMBING-THROUGH-WALLS
STUFF GIVES THE BOYS AN IDEA. THE KITTENS HAVEN'T SEEN QUEENIE
IN WEEKS. IT SEEMS LIKE
THEY WONDER WHERE SHE IS. COOKIE AND MUFFIN
DO SOME INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVER
A SECRET PASSAGEWAY, A KITTEN-SIZED CRACK IN THE WALL
BETWEEN PRINCESS AND QUEENIE. MAYBE THEY KNOW SOMEONE SPECIAL
IS ON THE OTHER SIDE, SO THEY SET OUT FOR A VISIT. THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD. OVER AT THE AMERICAN CURLS'
APARTMENT, THE WELCOME MAT SAYS IT ALL --
"THIS APARTMENT IS TOO SMALL." THE RESTLESS KITTENS
ARE GETTING BIGGER, BUT THIS 400-SQUARE-FOOT
APARTMENT ISN'T. ADVENTUROUS FABRINA
AND HER SIDEKICK JONAS HAVE EXPLORED EVERY CORNER AND EVEN SOME CORNERS
THEY SHOULDN'T. LIKE ALL NEW YORKERS,
THEY WANT MORE SPACE. WHEN AN OPPORTUNITY OPENS UP... ...THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS, AND THE CURIOUS CURLS
MAKE THEIR MOVE. THEY GO WHERE NO KITTEN
HAS GONE BEFORE. IT'S LIKE THIS PLACE
GOES ON FOREVER. WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THIS SPACE? PARTY! THE THING IS,
ONCE KITTENS SPILL OUT, IT'S HARD TO PUT THEM BACK
INTO THEIR PROPER CONTAINER. [ IKEA MEOWS ] COMING UP... LULU TAKES CHARGE AT THE VET, AND IT'S
A TONKINESE FAMILY REUNION. Narrator: IN NEW YORK, THE BIG CITY JUST GOT BIGGER
FOR THE AMERICAN CURLS. THE KITTENS HAVE DISCOVERED
THE HALLWAY. AND IT'S THE BEST HALLWAY EVER. BUT NOW MOM IKEA
HAS A PROBLEM -- HER LITTLE NEW YORKERS
LOVE THEIR NEW REAL ESTATE AND MIGHT NOT WANT TO DOWNSIZE. [ IKEA MEOWS ] BUT IT'S TIME TO COME HOME. AND YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE MOM SAYS SO. THE HALLWAY WAS FUN, BUT WHO
KNOWS WHAT THEY DRAGGED IN. IKEA LIKES EVERYTHING,
INCLUDING HER KITTENS, TO BE CLEAN AND LOVELY. SO THEY GET A BATH... AND SOME TIME
AT THE IN-HOUSE GROOMER... WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT. [ FABRINA MEOWING ] FABRINA IS DEFINITELY FOR IT. AND, OF COURSE, THEY ALL NEED
TO GET THEIR BEAUTY SLEEP. AFTER A BIG ADVENTURE, THERE'S
JUST ONE THING LEFT TO DO -- REST UP FOR THE NEXT ONE. OVER IN MAINE COON COUNTRY, THE KITTENS HAVE
A VERY IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT. IT'S THEIR FIRST TRIP OUTSIDE
IN THE BIG WORLD. IT'S CROWDED, BUT LULU AND DANTE
HAVE THE WINDOW SEAT TO TAKE IN ALL THE NEW SIGHTS. ALL KITTENS NEED REGULAR EXAMS, BUT WITH OVERSIZED BREEDS
LIKE THE MAINE COONS, THE VET HAS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
GROWING AT A HEALTHY RATE. IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE FUN HERE? THE KITTENS AREN'T SO SURE
ABOUT THIS... EXCEPT FOR ONE BRAVE SOUL
WHO GOES FIRST... DANTE. LOOKS LIKE LULU'S
NOT THE ONLY BRAVE KITTEN IN THE PACK ANYMORE. LULU IS UNFLAPPABLE AS ALWAYS. WHILE SHE WAITS HER TURN, SHE STUMBLES UPON
SOME INTRIGUING TOYS... ...AND SOMETHING VERY FAMILIAR. BUT THIS ISN'T JUST A PLAYDATE. THE VET CHECKS
THAT LULU'S EYES ARE BRIGHT, HER WEIGHT IS ON TARGET. AND DANTE'S GROWING
LIKE A WEED... A FURRY, ORANGE WEED. THE MAINE COONS ARE OFFICIALLY
FIT FELINES AND FREE TO GO. IT LOOKS LIKE THE RIDE HOME
WILL BE AN EASY ONE. AT THE TONKINESE HOUSE,
BROTHERS COOKIE AND MUFFIN HAVE JUST DISCOVERED
A SECRET PASSAGEWAY THAT CAN TAKE THEM
TO QUEENIE'S ROOM. OF COURSE, MUFFIN AND COOKIE
ARE THE FIRST ONES TO COME THROUGH
AND EXPLORE THE OTHER SIDE. THEY'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS ROOM. FOR BOLD KITTENS, THEY'RE
ACTUALLY FEELING A LITTLE SHY. BUT THE REGAL QUEENIE HAS
ALL THE PATIENCE IN THE WORLD. AND COOKIE AND THE OTHERS
SOON MAKE THE REUNION COMPLETE. SOME HELLOS
ARE WORTH WAITING FOR. NEXT... THE AMERICAN CURLS HANG IN THERE
FOR ONE MORE ADVENTURE. Narrator:
AT THE TONKINESE HOUSE, THE KITTENS
HAVE WORKED OUT A SYSTEM THAT MAKES EVERYONE HAPPY. THE KITTENS CAN GO
WHERE THEY PLEASE AND VISIT ANY MOM, ANYTIME. MUFFIN IS LARGER AND BROWNER
JUST LIKE MOM PRINCESS. AND HE LIKES
KEEPING HER ON HER TOES. COOKIE FAVORS
CUDDLING WITH QUEENIE, WHICH, FOR HER, WORKS JUST FINE. IN THE LAST 10 WEEKS,
THESE TINY TONKS WENT FROM A CROWDED BED
OF FUZZY KITTENS TO A RAMBUNCTIOUS GROUP
OF SIBLINGS, WITH COOKIE AND MUFFIN
LEADING THE WAY. WITH DOUBLE THE ATTENTION, THESE KITTENS
HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. THEY LIVE IN A HOUSE
WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND HARMONY. [ KEYBOARD PLAYS DISCORDANTLY ] WELL, DEFINITELY LOVE. IN THE BUSTLING METROPOLIS, THE AMERICAN CURLS
ARE BUSTLING, TOO, READY FOR THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE. THEY'RE ABOUT TO
TAKE ALL THIS KITTEN ENERGY TO A PLACE FARTHER
THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN... ...TO AN UPSCALE,
UPTOWN PLAYDATE. BUT A STYLISH KITTEN
NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE WITHOUT LOOKING HER BEST. SOME CUSTOM-MADE JEWELS
WILL DO NICELY. JONAS MIGHT BE TOO TOUGH
FOR SPARKLES. BUT NOT FABRINA. ANYTHING FANCIER? MUCH BETTER. IKEA IS PROUD TO SEND
HER KITTENS OFF TO HAVE FUN. SHE'S RAISED A SWEET BUNCH. IN JUST EIGHT WEEKS, FABRINA AND JONAS HAVE GONE
FROM RESTLESS KITTENS... ...TO POISED YOUNG FELINES, READY TO BROADEN
THEIR BOUNDARIES. BUT FOR TODAY,
THEY ARE CITY CATS ON THE GO. AND IF THEY CAN MAKE IT HERE,
THEY CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE. AT THE MAINE COON HOUSE, THERE'S
ANOTHER PLAYDATE IN PROGRESS. DAD SABU
FINALLY MET HIS MATCH -- DANTE. IT SEEMS DANTE
HAS FOUND HIS INNER BIG CAT, AND HE'S READY FOR ACTION. SABU COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. MEANWHILE,
LULU'S GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO. NOW THAT LULU'S BIGGER
AND EVEN BRAVER... ...LOOKS LIKE MOM SIERRA'S GOING
TO HAVE TO SHARE HER SINK. IN JUST 10 WEEKS, THE MAINE COONS HAVE GONE
FROM HUNGRY LITTLE FUR BALLS... ...TO CONFIDENT KITTENS
WHO CAN STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES. IT TOOK SOME TIME, BUT THIS
FAMILY IS COMING TOGETHER... MOTHER AND DAUGHTER... AND FATHER AND SON. CAN'T GET ENOUGH CUTE? OVERLOAD ON MORE VIDEOS
