- Uh, Cat? I wonder where he is.
- (Cat): Peg? - I can hear him...
- (Cat): Peggg? - ...but I can't see him.
Did Cat turn invisible? Let's find out
right after this message thingy. (Cat gasps.)

- The Tree Problem. Hmm, trees have problems too?
Oh, brother!
- OK, so my friends, the Giants,
left me a really enormous present!
Usually when I get a present, I shake it
and try to figure out what's inside,
but this present is so enormous
I can't even come close to shaking it.
See? I really want to open my huge, enormous present,
but something's missing.
Opening a present just isn't fun
without a certain bluish, purplish, furry,
squishy someone. Cat!
I wonder where he is!
- (Cat): Peg? - I can hear him...
- (Cat): Peggg? - ...but I can't see him.
(gasp) Did Cat turn invisible?
Where are you, Cat?
- (Cat): Umm, I don't know.
- Uh-oh! No one knows where Cat is,
and that's a BIG PROBLEM!
I hear Cat, so he has to be near.
Cat's not behind me,
and he's not next to me either.
He's not on this side or this side.
Cat's not underneath me.
Oh, Caterpillar, what do I do?
Cat's vanished! - Mm-hmm!
And how does that make you feel?
- Ouch! - I'm sorry it hurts.
- No, this acorn just fell on me from above!
Above! Is Cat above me?
He is!
You amazing cat,
you dropped an acorn on me on purpose!
- I did? I mean, I did!
- All right! We found Cat and so...

- Hey, Cat, how did you get up in that tree anyway?
- A tree?! Is that where I am?
Now that explains a lot.
- Cat really should pay more attention to what he's doing.
Don't you worry, Cat, I'll get you down
from that tree in no time. To get Cat down,
I need to jump really high. Look out,
here comes my high jump!
Ugh!
- Little higher. - OK, here comes an even higher jump.
(grunting)
- Umm, even higher.
- OK, here comes my very highest jump.
Aaah!
- Almost! - Uh-oh!
Even with my remarkable jumping skills,
I still can't reach Cat!
Cat is totally stuck up in that tree!
We've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
- Cats stuck in a tree, I've heard stories,
but I never thought it would happen to me!
- Hmm... and how does that make you feel?
- Not now, Caterpillar. Don't worry, Cat,
I'm gonna figure out some way to get you down from there.
Just stay calm and keep yourself busy by, um,
counting things. - Oh, I can do that.
I'll count how many tails I have!
One. Oh, boy.
- I bet one of the Neighbor Ladies
has a ladder I can borrow. Excuse me, Neighbor Ladies,
I need to borrow something really important!
- (both): Hello there, Peg!
- Come in, come in! - Come in! I was just saying,
You know who would look adorable
in this pink dress
with unicorns and rainbow puppies?
Little Peggie. - Actually, what I need is a--
- A sparkling tiara. It's so becoming on a little lady.
- No, I need a-- - A fetching red bow!
- Adorable! - I NEED A LADDER!
Please! - A ladder?
Why, yes, I've got one, but I can't reach it
with all of this clutter in the way.
Peg, would you mind stacking these things for me, please?
- Ugh, OK. There's one box,
one ball and one, two, three cans of paint.
We need to figure out a way to stack them up,
so they don't fall over. Let's see.

(cool guitar solo)
- Lovely job, Peg. - Thanks! So about that ladder?
- I had this ladder since I was a little girl.
- I can tell. Thanks for the ladder.
OK, Cat, I'm back! - Oh, good, because I ran out of things to count.
Oh, you'll never guess how many ears I have.
- Two? - Whoa! - Look, I got us a ladder.
- You're not gonna stand on that thing, are you?
- I'm sure it's sturdy.
Sturdy-iiish!
Whoaaa! - Careful, Peg.
- (Peg and Cat): Phew!
- Yaaaah! - That's not good.
- Now, I have no idea how I'm gonna get Cat out of the tree!
I really miss my pal.
He's always here beside me, sharing a laugh.
- Or a piece of pie...
- Keeping me calm and giving me great ideas.
- Without even trying!
- And now he's really stuck!
And I don't know how to get him down!
Cat, what you would do if you were down here?
- Uhhh, I'd probably walk around until I bumped into something.
- I guess it's worth a shot.
It worked! Cat, you're brilliant!
- Me?
- This enormous present. Maybe there's something inside
we could use to get you down from that tree.
- Oooh! Open it, open it, open it!
- Check it out! A huge coloring book and..
a really long kaleidoscope!
- Cool! - A coloring book
and a kaleidoscope.
Cat, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- No. - If I stack these things up
in just the right way, I could get you down from there.
- Oh! - Let's see.
I could put the kaleidoscope this way.
Whoa! That doesn't help.
I can also put the kaleidoscope this way.
It's too big to climb,
but it's perfect for sliding down.
If we can get the kaleidoscope up to Cat,
he could slide down from the tree!
We just need to figure out how to get it up to him.
We could put the kaleidoscope on top of the book like this.
But it's not high enough.
Or we could put it like this.
But it doesn't stay balanced.
Cat, I need another idea!
- Try bumping into the box again!
- The box! That's it!
If I put the kaleidoscope above the box,
Cat could slide down from the tree.
I really don't know how he comes up with these things.
- Hey, Peg!
- Oh! Hi, Ramone. What are you up to?
- Actually, it's my day off.
I'm just hanging out. So where's Cat?
- HIIII, RAMOOOONE! - Yikes.
- Yeah, it's kind of a big problem.
Hey, do you think you could help me move this enormous box
and put that long kaleidoscope on top of it?
- Sure! (grunting)
To get the kaleidoscope up there,
you're gonna have to sit on my shoulders.
- Well, um, anything for Cat.
- Riiight... - Steady!
Here it comes! - High, higher,
highest! There!
OK, Cat, everything's ready!
You can slide down the kaleidoscope!
- Here goes nothing!
Woohooooo! Uh, now what?
- Oh no! After all that, Cat's still not down!
He'll never get back to the ground.
I'll never have my best friend down here with me ever again!
It will be Peg plus nobody!
I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!
- Don't worry, Peg. Cat can jump into my arms.
Come on, Cat, I got you. - Uhhhh...
I don't know about that, Ramone.
- Or Cat could slide down on the coloring book.
- Now, there's an idea!
- Good thinking, Peg! - Thanks!
- OK, guys, here I coooome!
Ah, sweet, sweet ground!
- Glad to have you back, Cat. - Thanks for all your help, Ramone.
- I do what I can. - Now come here,
you adorable Cat!
Because we arranged those objects by stacking them
high enough, Cat could get down from the tree!
- Yeah, math really saved my existence.
- And now that Chat's safe and sound down on the ground...

- Awww, it's a beautiful day,
and everything is exactly where it belongs.
The fish are in the pond,
my marble's in my hat,
and Cat's up in the tree.
Cat's up in the tree?! AGAIN?!
How do you keep doing this? - Shhh,
I'll explain later. But please don't tell anyone,
it's getting embarrassing.
- Ah! OK...
So Cat's stuck up in the tree... AGAIN!
and that means we've got a BIG PROBLEM!
- Can't we do the same thing we did last time?
- Cat's right! The last time Cat got stuck
in the tree, we got him down by using
a kaleidoscope, a box,
and a coloring book.
He slid down the kaleidoscope,
then he slid down the book!
- That was fun!

(bird laughing)
- Not so loud.
Ooh, different heights.
First tallest, second, third, fourth.

- The box, the book and the kaleidoscope?
But those are the things we need to get Cat out of the tree!
- Ahoy there, Peg! - We borrowed your things--
- From your garage-- - Without asking.
- But, Pirates, I need those things.

♪ We're a-going ♪ - Sorry, Peg!
- Awkward.
- You can borrow our boat-- - With the trunk full of junk!

And now I don't have any way to get him down.
I've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
I better go tell Cat.
Psst, Cat! - Did you get everything?
- Well, not exactly. I was going to get all the stuff,
but the Pirates were like, "Arrrr," and they were using
our things for a boat and I was like, "Come back,"
and they were like, "We can't," and then they sailed away
and left their boat in our garage.
- I knew that would happen. - I guess we won't be able
to use those things to get you down.
- Aaah! Them I'm stuck in a tree!
- Well, yes, but just because we don't have those things
we used last time, it doesn't mean we can't get you down.
There's always more than one way to solve a problem.

Heyyy, I know! Maybe we could use
the trunk full of junk on the pirate's boat.
- The what?! - You'll see.
- A cat stuck in a tree, everybody! Check it out!
(wind chimes tinkling) - You've never seen a cat
that got stuck in a tree before?
- (squirrels): Not twice. - Wind chimes.
First tallest, second,
third, fourth!
- I just love junk.
Junkyards, junk mail... (gasp)
I wonder if there's any junk food in here.
Score! Let's see.
A barrel, a spring, a plank,
a fishing rod and a bowling ball.
I could use this stuff to make a cool contraption
that will get Cat down. To the tree!
I sure wish Cat were here now.
He'd do something really funny
like not watch where he's going and smash into something.
Whoa! Yaaaah!
(crash)
My junk is totally trashed!
- Peg? - Ramone?
Hey, what are you doing here?
- I saw you swinging around
and I thought I'd come up to see what you were up to.
- You know, hanging in there.
Could you, uh, help me down from here?
- Sure, just hang on a sec. (both laughing)
- So you're working at the circus today?
- Aren't these giraffes cool? They're the tallest animals
in the circus. - They are tall!
(gasp) Almost as tall as a tree!
- Uh-huh! - Hey, Ramone,
do you think I could maybe borrow those giraffes
for a little while? - Borrow them? What for?
- Um, well, I can't really say
'cause I kind of promised I wouldn't,
but it's totally not because Cat's stuck in the tree, again.
It's just this other thing that's not that.
- Well, if you take care of the giraffes,
I can go floss the tigers' teeth.
- Thanks, Ramone. - I do what I can.
- Great news, Cat, I brought giraffes!
And if one of them is tall enough, you can slide
right down his neck! To the tree, giraffes!
- I can't reach! - This giraffe
is still snacking. Maybe he's tall enough.
Excuse me, Mr. Giraffe,
would you mind standing up straight?
- Up, up... - And he's good!
- That giraffe is the perfect height. Hop on, Cat.
(wonderful music)
- Oh! I'm king of the giraffes!
- Slide down. - Ugh, his fur is too thick.
- Maybe jump onto the next giraffe?
- It's too far! - Cat's right,
the second giraffe is a lot shorter than the first one.
- Whoaaa! He doesn't like me up here!
- I need to get Cat off the giraffe's head quick,
otherwise Cat will be a hat
or he'll fall off and go splat!
And I'm not OK with that!
I am totally FREAKING OUT!
(Cat whistles.)
Cat's right, I should count backwards from five
to calm down. Five, four,
three, two,
one! - A cat stuck on a giraffe?
(bird laughing) (wind chimes tinkling)
- That's it, you genius bird!
- Why is he a genius? - Because if I put the giraffes
in height order, like those wind chimes,
then you can climb down one giraffe at a time.
- Let's do it then. Fast!
- Cat's on top of the tallest giraffe.
Which giraffe is the next tallest?
- Uhhhh... - This one!
He's the second tallest giraffe.
Which giraffe goes next?
- Hmmm... - Yeah, this guy!
He's the third tallest giraffe.
That means this little giraffe is the fourth tallest.
In other words, the shortest.
OK, Cat, the giraffes are all in order, now hop to it.
- I'm a-hopping. - Because we knew
how to put things in height order, we're totally getting Cat out of the tree.
- Yeah, math really saved my...self!
- One more jump ought to do it!
- Wa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
- Gimme a hug, you adorable blob!
We got Cat out of the tree
and in a different way than the last time
we got Cat out of the tree. - Because, in case
any of you folks at home missed it,
this was the second time Cat's gotten stuck
in a tree. Can you believe it?!
