Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: Two little girls (Sumiko Kimura, Alison von Brock) have a tea party for their dolls in this segment about the number two.

Cat Burglars (Scene and Tea Stealers): After putting the dolls to bed, two cats decide to invade the doll house and help themselves to some tea, much to the delight of the little girls.

The lyrics for this segment are, “What’s that small pitter-pat? One two . . . two kitty cats! Two kitty cats went on a spree, then sat down and had some tea.”

The segment was reportedly filmed at Jim Henson’s house and starred the Henson’s own cats.
