You know what this is?
Does it look like a bowl to you,
for a cat?
Oh, that's exactly what it is,
a cat's food bowl.

"Hey, Mister Rogers!
I've got to take care of a
cat today and I'm very busy.
I wondered if maybe
you could help me feed the cat,
Mister Rogers." [ Chuckles ]
And I said, [ as Mister Rogers ]
"Certainly, Mr. McFeely.
Just bring her by later."
He said, [ as Mr. McFeely ]
"Well, her name is Pink Paws."
I said, [ as Mister Rogers ]
"That's fine.
Any cat can be
a friend of ours."
Mm-hmm.
So, why don't we
just go out to the k--
He handed me this
little thing and he said,
[As Mr. McFeely ]
"This is for the milk,
Mister Rogers.
If you have some milk,
you might want to give it
to her, Mister Rogers."
We're glad to do Mr. McFeely
a favor, aren't we?
Take care of one
of his kittens today.
Do you have a pet
that you take care of?

take care of in this world.
