Starring: Alan Young, Connie Hines, Hazel Shermet
Directed by: Ira Stewart, Alan Young

Synopsis: Carol (Connie Hines) promises to catsit for her friend Selma (Hazel Shermet) much to Wilbur’s (Alan Young) dismay.  But it’s Mister Ed who suffers from jealousy when Wilbur starts spending all of his time with the pedigree Siamese.

Featured Feline: The Siamese cat named Felicia in this episode is simply gorgeous and shares a lot of screen time with both Wilbur and Mister Ed.  The horse and cat seem to have real chemistry as they play off one another in various scenes.  The highlight is when Mister Ed challenges Felicia to a staring contest.

Final Mewsings: Give a cat a chance and you’ll likely find a friend, not a rival.
