Francine starts the intro by trying to choose which pet she would like, first a Komodo Dragon, then a Narwhal. Next, Buster goes on to say that he wants a Pterodactyl. Then, Arthur claims the only pet to have is a dog before he's interrupted by Binky, who claims to want an Ameoba. Arthur tries again, but Brain wants to talk about virtual hamsters. But both are interrupted by Francine who claims its her intro | Francine starts the intro by trying to choose which pet she would like, first a Komodo Dragon, then a Narwhal.

Both girls go on to argue about the cat and later Francine tells the guys about her new cat. Arthur claims they're smelly and mean, Brain thinks they're too cute, and Arthur tries to convince her that Pal, a dog is the perfect pet. Pal then proceeds to steal D.W.'s cookie and wrecks her tea party | Both girls go on to argue about the cat and later Francine tells the guys about her new cat.

Later, Francine comes in to see Catherine dressed up the kitten, who particularly didn't seem to like it very much. She then reveals his name "Rosepetal". Catherine then sees Rosepetal laying with Francine the following morning and accuses her of trying to steal Rosepetal's affection. | Later, Francine comes in to see Catherine dressed up the kitten, who particularly didn't seem to like it very much.

Later, Francine plays cards with the guys and Brain compliments the intelligence of the kitty, while Arthur manages to upset/frustrate Francine to the point of leaving. Arthur does not plan on changing his mind anytime soon though, and keeps calling the cats stupid while beginning to worry that she may end up getting a lot more cats. | Later, Francine plays cards with the guys and Brain compliments the intelligence of the kitty, while Arthur manages to upset/frustrate Francine to the point of leaving.

After school, Arthur still notices that Pal is behaving weirdly when the doorbell suddenly rings. Francine lets Nemo go play with Pal before asking Arthur what they should study for first. It's then Francine and Arthur begin to argue and fight. | After school, Arthur still notices that Pal is behaving weirdly when the doorbell suddenly rings.
