- 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.

- 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 sh*t.
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!
- We know how to get Cat
down from the tree, and so...

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

we don't have those things

- 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
