Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Bubbles: You are the most cutest kitty in the whole world. Yes, you are! And to think that mean old man had you all to himself. Do you think we'll be able to keep him?
Blossom: If the Professor says, we can.
Buttercup: No way! We're not keeping that stinking fleabag, because I'll end up feeding it, and cleaning it, and fluffing it!
(Buttercup's sour expression softens as she looks at the cat playing her yo-yo)
Girls: Aww…


Professor: We can keep Kitty.
Girls: Oh, thank you, Professor!
Bubbles: Can we hold him?
Professor: No!! None of you can hold Kitty!


Professor: I just… don't know… where the heck I am… I… Girls! I just have the craziest dream! I dreamt that I was hypnotized by a cat, and we stole a jewel and I jumped out of a building! Pretty crazy, huh?
Bubbles: Yep! Pretty crazy, Professor!
Buttercup: Yeah…
Blossom: Let's go home!


Cat: Hey! Help! I'm stuck in a tree! He-eelp!
Narrator: Oh, be quiet! Bad kitty! If you think the girls are going to help you, you're barking up the wrong... I mean, you're meowing up the wrong... Oh, well. So, once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!

Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: January 27, 1999 on Cartoon Network

Behind the scenes

  • The episode title is a play on the city of Kathmandu.

Errors

  • When the Professor builds the laser, in the shadow, you can see the jewel is already there, yet they haven't stolen it yet.
  • The moon appears largely in its crescent shape except when the moon is depicted over the machine, then its in full.

Everlasting influence

  • When the girls play with Robin Snyder's cat in "Superfriends," Bubbles tells her about the talking cat.
  • After the events of this episode, the Professor develops a deep dislike for cats. The main reason Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane broke up in "Keen on Keane" is because she has a cat.
