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!
