Bob says that Otto makes too much noise at night but Kaye points out it is cold outside. Bob opens the door to the kitchen and calls for Otto, then goes back to his orange juice. Behind his back, numerous cats run in the door and disappear into the house.

Finally Otto enters and walks to Bob, who pets the cat. “Come on, Otto,” Bob says, “Try to keep it down tonight, will you?” Otto then runs into the other room as well.
