00:00:00You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town.
00:00:16He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice, Santa Claus is coming to town.
00:00:30He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.
00:00:45Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town.
00:00:58Hey, well, your parents are going to call once they land in London, but until then, are you ready for our next holiday adventure?
00:01:17First up on the list is Christmas cookies.
00:01:22Hey, what was that?
00:01:26What, I don't see anything.
00:01:28Oh, it was probably nothing.
00:01:30Wait till you see the Christmas cookie cutters I got.
00:01:36So, what do you think?
00:01:45It's pretty amazing, right?
00:01:47It's perfect, isn't it?
00:01:52It is from my vision boards, everything I have ever wanted.
00:01:58Perfect.
00:01:59And it is move-in ready.
00:02:02What's the catch?
00:02:06Catch?
00:02:06We've been looking for three years, and you have never shown me a place this nice.
00:02:12Okay, there may be a teeny tiny catch.
00:02:16Oh, there it is.
00:02:17Look, I am aware of your price range.
00:02:20Which is realtor speak for out of my budget.
00:02:22Not necessarily.
00:02:23The mortgage payments could be in your budget.
00:02:25If?
00:02:26If you have a bigger down payment.
00:02:28How much bigger?
00:02:2925%.
00:02:30What?
00:02:31Victoria!
00:02:32Olivia!
00:02:33You run your own marketing company.
00:02:35Okay?
00:02:36You make good money.
00:02:37There's normal people good money, and then there's I want to buy in Rockridge good money.
00:02:43They are not the same thing.
00:02:44Well, that is more reason to jump on this unit while you still can, okay?
00:02:48Opportunities like this one, they move fast.
00:02:51An extra 5%?
00:02:53That's not an insignificant amount.
00:02:55I feel like I've been saving forever.
00:02:57Look, it is a great place.
00:02:59It could be a great home.
00:03:02That's what you've always wanted.
00:03:04I know.
00:03:06That's a great point, and I agree.
00:03:11But if we move the promotion up by two days, we can catch people before they leave town.
00:03:17That is our key demographic.
00:03:19Yes, exactly.
00:03:21We can reframe it as a holiday send-off.
00:03:24Oh, I like that.
00:03:25Ah, great.
00:03:26Okay, well, I will email you the updated rollout timeline for the pop-up gifting suites by end of day.
00:03:31That timing works well.
00:03:32Ah, wonderful.
00:03:33Thank you, Claire.
00:03:34Huh.
00:03:35A meeting about my aunt's estate.
00:03:44What's that about?
00:03:45A cat cafe.
00:03:46Did you just...
00:03:47Yes.
00:03:48Say...
00:03:49Yes.
00:03:50A cat.
00:03:51Cafe.
00:03:52As in a cafe...
00:03:53With cats.
00:03:54In Felicity, New York.
00:03:55Which your great aunt Esther left you half owner of in her will.
00:04:00Wow.
00:04:01Her only listed assets were the house, which still has a significant mortgage that the bank is looking to recover, and the cafe.
00:04:07So you are the sole benefactor.
00:04:09Wait, I'm sorry.
00:04:10Did you say I'm half owner?
00:04:12Correct.
00:04:13Yourself and Ben Kane, who owned it with Esther.
00:04:16You each have an equal share.
00:04:18Do you happen to know if this Ben Kane person wants to sell?
00:04:22If he's just an investor?
00:04:23I haven't asked.
00:04:24If he does, and if the sale goes fast enough, I can have enough for a down payment for this dream condo.
00:04:31It would be the Christmas miracle I'm looking for.
00:04:35Oh, well actually, I've been contacted by Walter Morley.
00:04:39He buys and sells property in that area of upstate New York.
00:04:42He's interested in buying the cafe.
00:04:44Would you like his number?
00:04:45I would love his number.
00:04:46Do you have any way to contact this Ben person?
00:04:49I can arrange a meeting if you'd like.
00:04:51I would love.
00:04:58Boomer is doing great.
00:04:59But I would like to see you back here again next week, though.
00:05:03So soon.
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:05Christmas is just so busy this time of year.
00:05:09Ah, yes.
00:05:11Uh, free of charge.
00:05:14We want to make sure Boomer is 100%.
00:05:17I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.
00:05:20I'll make sure to bring you some of my famous snickerdoodle cookies.
00:05:24I can't wait.
00:05:26They're my favorite.
00:05:27Hey.
00:05:28Tell you what.
00:05:29You stay safe out there, okay?
00:05:31Take care of yourself.
00:05:33Merry Christmas.
00:05:35Okay.
00:05:36We are going to see Boomer next week.
00:05:38Margaret is going to give us a batch of her snickerdoodles.
00:05:41Mm-hmm.
00:05:47Is that it for today?
00:05:48There was only supposed to be one appointment after four.
00:05:51I know.
00:05:52But then Gladys cornered me in the supermarket because Sadie was lethargic and Mr. Lane was
00:05:57worried because Odin had eaten too much cheese.
00:05:59You know, now might be a good time to remind you that while treats are lovely, it's hard to keep the lights on with gingerbread and sugar cookies.
00:06:05You know, now is not a great time to remind me.
00:06:08Also, I do say no.
00:06:09Okay?
00:06:10Occasionally.
00:06:11So...
00:06:12You know what else would really help right about now?
00:06:15No, don't even say it.
00:06:16Don't even...
00:06:17Another vet.
00:06:18I said don't even say it.
00:06:19Not saying something never made anything not be true.
00:06:22There's too many negatives in that sentence.
00:06:25Ben.
00:06:26Oh, yes.
00:06:27Hello, Mrs. Lombardo.
00:06:28Now, don't forget to stop by the house tonight about that squeaky door.
00:06:32I haven't forgotten.
00:06:33You tell Mr. Lombardo that I will be there tonight with mince pies from the hash house and treats for Fluffle Stiltskin.
00:06:39Oh, you spoil us.
00:06:41The least I could do.
00:06:42It's you who spoils me.
00:06:44Oh, thank you.
00:06:45I'll see you tonight.
00:06:46You bet.
00:06:47Okay.
00:06:48Uh...
00:06:50What?
00:06:51Mr. Lombardo's hips are not so great.
00:06:53You were such a softie.
00:06:54You say it like it's a bad thing.
00:06:55Yeah.
00:06:57Millie, you're up.
00:07:02These decorations are looking perfect.
00:07:04I know, it looks great.
00:07:05So, did you know she owned one?
00:07:07Your aunt, I mean with the cat cafe.
00:07:09Not a clue.
00:07:11I want a cat.
00:07:12Oh.
00:07:13You do.
00:07:14Cats.
00:07:15Well, I guess we'll have to go visit the cafe then.
00:07:18After I moved out west, life just got so busy.
00:07:22I'd get updates from my mom about her, but I just really wish I'd worked harder to keep in touch.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:29I mean, it's life.
00:07:30It's full of distractions.
00:07:32And the saddest part is I missed her funeral.
00:07:35Hmm.
00:07:36How'd that happen?
00:07:37I was working.
00:07:38I was at a conference in Fiji and it all happened so fast.
00:07:42And there were these limited flights and I just, I couldn't make it home.
00:07:46She clearly felt close enough to you to leave you half of a cafe.
00:07:50Hey.
00:07:51Hey, when do you go there, by the way?
00:07:54Um, I fly to Buffalo day after tomorrow and then I'm driving up to Felicity where the cafe is.
00:07:59Thank goodness it is the holidays.
00:08:01Work is slow and I can work remotely.
00:08:04I'm gonna stay there until I make sure that cafe is sold.
00:08:08Yes.
00:08:09Well, we are going to miss you.
00:08:10I'll miss you too.
00:08:12I'm all done.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:14Oh.
00:08:15Wow, look at this artist.
00:08:17What is that you're making?
00:08:18A tail.
00:08:20Hahaha.
00:08:21Snow is falling.
00:08:22Lightly on the ground.
00:08:25People smiling.
00:08:27Love is all around.
00:08:28There's a fear.
00:08:29In the air tonight.
00:08:31You are here beside me.
00:08:33And the stars are shining bright.
00:08:36I'm so sorry.
00:08:37I'm so sorry.
00:08:38I'm so sorry.
00:08:39I'm so sorry.
00:08:40I'm so sorry.
00:08:41I'm so sorry.
00:08:42I'm so sorry.
00:08:43I'm so sorry.
00:08:44I'm so sorry.
00:08:45I'm so sorry.
00:08:46I'm so sorry.
00:08:47I'm so sorry.
00:08:48I'm so sorry.
00:08:49I'm so sorry.
00:08:50I'm so sorry.
00:08:51You're okay.
00:08:52You're okay.
00:09:01Now to your night.
00:09:02It's a wonderful life.
00:09:04It's my favorite time of year.
00:09:07I can hear the sleigh bells through my window.
00:09:11I can feel the love up in the air
00:09:15All the city streets looking like a snow globe
00:09:19Feeling like magic everywhere
00:09:23Well hello there cutie
00:09:30I bet you're not as grumpy as you look
00:09:41Hi there
00:09:42Hi
00:09:44Don't mind him he's just naturally grumpy
00:09:46Welcome can I get you started with anything
00:09:49Coffee black
00:09:51Thank you actually what kind of beans do you use
00:09:53Beans
00:09:54Never mind
00:09:56Earl Grey tea
00:09:57Thank you
00:09:59Saw you with the cat there
00:10:01Just so you know all the cats are available for adoption if you're interested
00:10:04Oh I'm not here for the cats
00:10:06I'm here to meet somebody
00:10:08I think that might be me
00:10:10Oh
00:10:12Hi
00:10:15Hi
00:10:15No I mean I'm actually here to meet somebody as in it was planned
00:10:20Oh I see
00:10:21Still I think that might be me
00:10:23If you're Olivia Pierce
00:10:25So you're
00:10:26Not a creeper
00:10:27No I'm the guy you plan to meet
00:10:28Ben Kane
00:10:29Ben Kane
00:10:30Thrilled to finally meet you
00:10:31Hi
00:10:31Nice to finally meet you both
00:10:35This is Holly
00:10:36When I was contacted by Mr. Henry
00:10:39I was curious to know who the other owner was
00:10:41I was happy it was Esther's niece
00:10:43We all were
00:10:44My aunt never told me
00:10:47Seriously?
00:10:48Wow
00:10:48Then this must
00:10:49This must be quite the surprise
00:10:51Welcome to the catnip cafe
00:10:53Thank you
00:10:55And it is a surprise for so many reasons
00:10:58Yeah
00:10:59Good ones
00:11:00I hope
00:11:01Do you want to sit?
00:11:03Frank
00:11:03Would you mind coming right up?
00:11:04Yeah thank you
00:11:05Well
00:11:07There is one good reason
00:11:10I found the perfect condo for me
00:11:14I love it
00:11:15Great okay
00:11:16Yeah but I don't have enough money for the down payment
00:11:18So that's why all of this is incredible timing
00:11:23Got a little friend there
00:11:29Well the cafe is beloved but unfortunately it's anything but a lucrative venture
00:11:34Well I never assumed that the cafe was actually profitable
00:11:37Oh
00:11:38It's a cat cafe in a small town
00:11:40It's not exactly a resort in Vegas
00:11:42Um excuse me ma'am would you give me a good girl
00:11:45Uh yeah you know most resorts in Vegas would actually be so lucky
00:11:50To have the impact on a community that the catnip has on Felicity
00:11:54You seem a little annoyed
00:11:55Not annoyed
00:11:56You sure?
00:11:57Cause
00:11:57Yeah
00:11:58Nope
00:11:58Uh the estate lawyer Mr. Henry said that you wanted to talk to me about something so
00:12:04I wanted to make sure we're on the same page
00:12:05What page is that that you're on?
00:12:07I'm so touched that my aunt thought to give me this gift
00:12:11But I don't have any space in my life for a cafe
00:12:13Let alone one that's centered around animals
00:12:16Um please tell me that what you're about to say is that you are planning to be an owner in absentia
00:12:21I want to sell
00:12:22Asap
00:12:23Mr. Henry told me that there's a developer that's interested so it'll go quickly
00:12:26Ben
00:12:28Ms. Pierce it seems that we are not on the same page because I absolutely do not want to sell
00:12:34I'm not just an investor this cafe means the world to me
00:12:38I can understand that
00:12:39Then buy me out
00:12:41I wish that I could my money is tied up in my clinic
00:12:43Then I guess we're at an impasse
00:12:45Guess we are
00:12:56I can't figure it out
00:13:09Let's go.
00:13:39Okay, pass me the plug.
00:13:45Okay, there we go.
00:13:48The lights don't work.
00:13:49That's because one of them is out.
00:13:51It's up to us to find it, fix it,
00:13:53so that this string of lights can shine again.
00:13:57Okay.
00:14:00I got it. I got it.
00:14:04Perfect color.
00:14:06What's your favorite color?
00:14:09Oh, Mr. Henry, hi.
00:14:13Hi.
00:14:14Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
00:14:16Of course.
00:14:17What I was wondering is,
00:14:19if he doesn't want to sell his half,
00:14:21what are my options?
00:14:22You could file a partition action with the courts,
00:14:24legally forcing the sale of the cafe
00:14:26and dividing the proceeds.
00:14:28Well, how long does that take?
00:14:30A year, year and a half maybe,
00:14:32depending on if Dr. Cain wants to delay things.
00:14:34Which he will.
00:14:37And by that time, the condo will be sold.
00:14:40Bye-bye, Christmas miracle.
00:14:45Thank you very much.
00:14:48Bye-bye.
00:14:48Okay, take care. Bye.
00:14:50I just don't understand why Esther would leave the cafe
00:14:58to someone who wouldn't appreciate her.
00:15:01Olivia Pierce can't appreciate what she doesn't know,
00:15:03which takes time.
00:15:04Yeah, well, I don't have time.
00:15:06Okay, well, speaking of time,
00:15:08I need to get back to Dan and the kids.
00:15:10Yes, go.
00:15:13Also...
00:15:13Yep.
00:15:14Mom called.
00:15:15Mm-hmm.
00:15:16She wants to know if you're bringing someone to Christmas.
00:15:18Oh, does she?
00:15:20What'd you tell her?
00:15:22I said we all want to know
00:15:23if you're bringing someone to Christmas.
00:15:24Yeah, well, you know what?
00:15:26Next time, you can just say...
00:15:29someday.
00:15:30You and Abby ended seven years ago,
00:15:32so you're kind of heading in the wrong direction of someday.
00:15:35Yeah, well, you know,
00:15:36with running the clinic and the cafe
00:15:38and being the town's de facto handyman,
00:15:41I haven't had a lot of time
00:15:42to find the perfect person to, you know,
00:15:45spend the rest of my life with,
00:15:46but I'll put it on the list for tomorrow.
00:15:48By the way,
00:15:49I can't opt for the life of me
00:15:50to find Esther's Christmas binder,
00:15:52and I'm kind of freaking out.
00:15:53Yeah, sorry, I haven't seen it,
00:15:54but I'll keep an eye out for it.
00:15:56Great.
00:15:57Great, great, great, great, great, great, great.
00:16:00Great.
00:16:00Great.
00:16:05You!
00:16:31Me.
00:16:32What are you doing here?
00:16:34Oh, you know, just, uh, returning home from a long day of caring for animals
00:16:39and meeting my new co-owner of a cafe who wants to sell,
00:16:43regardless of the impact of the townsfolk and felines alike.
00:16:46You said returning home?
00:16:48Yeah. I live, uh, just down the block.
00:16:52What are you doing here?
00:16:53I told Mr. Henry I'd help pack up my aunt's things to prepare for the bank sale.
00:16:56So I'm staying here while I'm in town.
00:16:58Well, I just stopped by to find something that I'm hoping is inside the house
00:17:03and noticed the lights were on.
00:17:04You have a key?
00:17:05Yeah. Esther and I were really close.
00:17:07I used to look after the place occasionally.
00:17:10Um, I don't suppose you've seen a Christmas binder for the cafe lying around anywhere by chance?
00:17:16Actually, I think I know what you're talking about. Hang on one sec.
00:17:20Ah-ha!
00:17:27This is it?
00:17:30Yep.
00:17:31Yeah, it was in a box.
00:17:32Great. That is a roadmap for all things catnip Christmas.
00:17:37We've been doing it for the last five years.
00:17:39Well, it looks like quite the production.
00:17:42It was Esther's pride and joy.
00:17:45My aunt did all of this by herself?
00:17:48Essentially.
00:17:49Although she wasn't trying to run a vet clinic at the same time.
00:17:52I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it on my own.
00:17:55Should be interesting.
00:17:57I will take that.
00:17:59You don't need that.
00:18:01But you do need these.
00:18:02Night.
00:18:04Wait.
00:18:06I can help you with that.
00:18:12Why would you do that?
00:18:15In exchange.
00:18:17There it is.
00:18:18You don't delay the sale of the cafe.
00:18:21I think I was pretty clear.
00:18:25I don't want to sell.
00:18:27I know you don't want to sell.
00:18:28But I think you also know that you can't stop the sale.
00:18:31You can only slow it down.
00:18:33And I need this to go quickly.
00:18:40You know, that would mean three whole weeks.
00:18:44Working very closely in and around that cafe.
00:18:48As long as it results in you agreeing to sell your half of the cafe,
00:18:52I'm good.
00:18:53Yeah, or you're realizing how important the cafe is to the community
00:18:55and deciding not to sell.
00:18:57Won't happen.
00:18:59Tell you what.
00:19:00You study that.
00:19:03Tonight.
00:19:04And tomorrow.
00:19:05We will go over the whole thing.
00:19:07Does this mean...
00:19:08Oh, yes.
00:19:09We have a deal.
00:19:11I still think it's gonna happen.
00:19:14I still think you're wrong.
00:19:16We'll see.
00:19:17Yeah, we will.
00:19:19What possessed you to make such an all-or-nothing deal?
00:19:34Well, I didn't really have a choice, did I?
00:19:37Besides, you said it yourself.
00:19:38Olivia Pierce doesn't know the catnip, or Felicity for that matter,
00:19:41and it takes time.
00:19:42Well, now we have time.
00:19:46Your heart sounds great.
00:19:47There's no murmur.
00:19:49Can you think three weeks is enough time for her to change your mind?
00:19:52Better be, cause it's all we got.
00:19:54That and cute cats to disarm her.
00:19:56You want a piece of me?
00:19:58Does she know everything that's involved?
00:20:00I gave her the binder.
00:20:01Esther handled it and she was 80.
00:20:03Yeah, but Esther...
00:20:04She was a special person.
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:08She sure was.
00:20:10I hope she knew what she was doing when she put Olivia in her will like this.
00:20:14You and me both.
00:20:16Alright.
00:20:17Let's get you out of here.
00:20:18You're healthy as a horse.
00:20:19A very little horse.
00:20:26Hello?
00:20:27Olivia Pierce.
00:20:28That's me.
00:20:29I'm Walter Morley.
00:20:30I got your number from your aunt's lawyer.
00:20:31Yes, hi.
00:20:32You're the developer he mentioned.
00:20:34That's right.
00:20:35I heard you were interested in selling the cat cafe.
00:20:37I am.
00:20:38And quickly.
00:20:39Well, I don't know about quickly.
00:20:40I've already spoken to your co-owner.
00:20:42He's a firm no on selling.
00:20:43I know.
00:20:45But I am working on that.
00:20:47Glad to hear it.
00:20:48Thank you for calling.
00:20:49I'll talk to you soon.
00:21:03Hello.
00:21:04Hi.
00:21:08Three weeks.
00:21:09Yeah, three weeks.
00:21:11You can do this.
00:21:24Joshi, we have to get going now.
00:21:26Time to say goodbye to snowfall, okay?
00:21:29Okay, Molly.
00:21:32Goodbye, little buddy.
00:21:33See you next time.
00:21:35Look, look how sweet they are.
00:21:52Four weeks.
00:21:53Oh, come on.
00:21:54Look, this one reminds me of Bailey.
00:21:56Same eyes.
00:21:58He was such a good boy.
00:22:00Oh, he was such a good boy.
00:22:02Grant's cousin said they'll be old enough in a few weeks
00:22:04if you're ready to adopt one.
00:22:06You know I would consider another puppy,
00:22:08but life's a little complicated right now.
00:22:12Speaking of...
00:22:14Sorry, I'm late.
00:22:15I went by the cafe to get the lay of the land.
00:22:17Uh, Abby, this is Olivia Pierce.
00:22:19Olivia, this is Abby Carter.
00:22:21Abby and her husband Grant own the Juniper and Pine.
00:22:24Oh, nice to meet you.
00:22:25Your place is beautiful.
00:22:26Nice to meet you, too, and thank you.
00:22:28Christmas makes everything look better.
00:22:30True.
00:22:31Ben, one more thing.
00:22:32Grant wanted me to ask you.
00:22:34Can he borrow your...
00:22:35Gutter scoop?
00:22:36Yes.
00:22:37Yes, it's a disaster.
00:22:38Yeah.
00:22:39And apparently this thing's a wonder.
00:22:40I will bring it by the house.
00:22:42If you need anything, just let me know.
00:22:46She seems lovely.
00:22:47She is.
00:22:48Very nice.
00:22:49I'm assuming you've had a chance to go over the binder?
00:22:52Yes.
00:22:53And there are so many great options for events.
00:22:56Options?
00:22:57But the trick is which event to pick.
00:22:59The sock puppet idea, that is a no-go.
00:23:02That is a little odd.
00:23:03The big Christmas party.
00:23:04We are too close to the date to pull that off.
00:23:06I don't know what a Merry Mistletoe Market is,
00:23:08so maybe you could explain that to me sometime.
00:23:10Oh, absolutely.
00:23:11That leaves us with the Merry Cat in the Storytime
00:23:14or the Cat in the Christmas Pajama Party movie night,
00:23:16both of which I think sound good.
00:23:18So I thought we could do pros and cons for both
00:23:20and then pick one.
00:23:21Okay.
00:23:22Uh, we're not gonna pick one.
00:23:23We're not gonna pick one?
00:23:24No.
00:23:25We're gonna do all of them.
00:23:26What?
00:23:27Yeah, all of them.
00:23:28As in, in totality.
00:23:29As in, each and every.
00:23:31As in, the whole kitten caboodle.
00:23:33Pun intended.
00:23:34That's impossible.
00:23:35Now you can understand why I'm so grateful
00:23:37for your incredibly generous offer to help.
00:23:40Sorry, you do every one of these events every year?
00:23:43Esther did.
00:23:44Yeah.
00:23:45Oh, FYI, that, uh, odd little pup show?
00:23:48That's tonight.
00:23:49Tonight?
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:51Oh, sorry.
00:23:52One sec.
00:23:53You're kidding me.
00:23:54Well, it looks like my almost 22-minute lunch
00:23:56has come to an abrupt end.
00:23:57You're leaving?
00:23:58Yes.
00:23:59Duty calls.
00:24:00I will spare you the details,
00:24:01but it involves a chihuahua and a missing wedding ring.
00:24:05Uh, I will see you at the cafe tonight.
00:24:08We will go over all of the events.
00:24:10Uh, oh, and I ordered a vegetarian beef stew.
00:24:12If you're hungry, that's all yours.
00:24:14It's delicious.
00:24:16What?
00:24:17Oh, Christmas tree.
00:24:19Oh, Christmas tree.
00:24:21Your leaves are so unchanging.
00:24:25Oh, Christmas tree.
00:24:28Oh, Christmas tree.
00:24:30Your leaves are so...
00:24:32See?
00:24:33See how none of the needles come off easily?
00:24:36That means it's a fresh tree.
00:24:38It's not going to make a mess later.
00:24:40Oh, it smells so good.
00:24:42Noena.
00:24:47Excuse me.
00:24:49Do you deliver...
00:24:52Perfect.
00:24:53I...
00:24:54Descript?
00:24:55This is a script.
00:25:13Do you seem nervous?
00:25:15No, I'm not nervous.
00:25:17I was just hoping for a little better turnout.
00:25:19Okay, so I can't do this, so I'm just gonna...
00:25:22Oh, no.
00:25:23No, no, no, no.
00:25:25I sent you the script.
00:25:27A half hour ago.
00:25:29I didn't read it. Why would I read it?
00:25:30I didn't think I was in it.
00:25:31Because you signed up for Catnip Christmas,
00:25:33and it's meow time.
00:25:35I don't ad-lib.
00:25:37It's not...
00:25:39I really don't think this is a good idea.
00:25:42Ready?
00:25:43No.
00:25:44Too bad.
00:25:48Good evening.
00:25:49I am your host, Richard Cattenborough.
00:25:53What's up with the accent?
00:25:55I watch a lot of BBC documentaries.
00:25:57Am I supposed to do an accent?
00:25:58Coco doesn't have an accent.
00:25:59A cat who was searching for a home.
00:26:03I love you.
00:26:05I love you.
00:26:07Coco, the brave stray kitty, followed the twinkle of the magic Christmas collar all the way to the North Pole, only to find Santa Paws.
00:26:20Ho!
00:26:22Ho-ho-ho!
00:26:24Hi.
00:26:26Suddenly, a snowflake landed on Coco's nose.
00:26:31Ah-choo!
00:26:32Why would you sneeze?
00:26:34A snowflake fell off.
00:26:35A cat's not going to sneeze if a snowflake falls and it smells.
00:26:37Is this really the time to debate this?
00:26:39Because I don't think we should talk about this right now.
00:26:41Good point.
00:26:42Coco?
00:26:43Yeah?
00:26:44What is your wish?
00:26:47To not be here.
00:26:48That's too meta.
00:26:50To be somewhere else.
00:26:51Come on, we're losing them out there.
00:26:53To have a warm home with a new family where I can watch the snow.
00:26:59Granted.
00:27:02Brief intermission.
00:27:03Say something about granting your wish.
00:27:05Oh, I'm so happy Santa Paws is granting my wish.
00:27:08Yes.
00:27:09Coco, would you like to join our family and have a cozy home where you could wash the snow?
00:27:16Sure, sounds great!
00:27:17Seriously?
00:27:18What?
00:27:19More than anything!
00:27:20There we go.
00:27:21And that, folks, is the true magic of Christmas.
00:27:26As long as you listen to your heart, you will always find your hope.
00:27:34The end.
00:27:35Meow!
00:27:36I should have practiced the accents.
00:27:49Esther was so much better at this.
00:27:51So you do this every year?
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Last year it was Kla La Land the Meowsical.
00:27:55It was a huge hit.
00:27:56Hmm.
00:27:57Okay, well, we need to bump up the attendance on these events.
00:28:00So I am going to take over Mary Catmuss story time.
00:28:03Which is a sentence I have never before said.
00:28:06As in on your own?
00:28:07You think you can do a better job?
00:28:08Yes.
00:28:09Because if there's one thing I do not need a script for, it is how to market events.
00:28:13So I got this.
00:28:14Perfect.
00:28:15That was really cute.
00:28:21Oh.
00:28:22That whole cat.
00:28:23Oh, yeah.
00:28:25Thanks.
00:28:26Cats make everything better, am I right?
00:28:29I like cats.
00:28:30Me too.
00:28:31A lot.
00:28:32Yeah.
00:28:33I love them.
00:28:34Okay.
00:28:35I'm getting that.
00:28:36You should really think about adding a fireman to the whole thing.
00:28:39Fireman?
00:28:40Yeah, cats.
00:28:41Cats love a man in a uniform.
00:28:44Isn't that right?
00:28:45Yeah.
00:28:46I have one at home.
00:28:47A cat.
00:28:48A fireman.
00:28:49And a cat.
00:28:50Oh.
00:28:51Two.
00:28:52Maybe three.
00:28:53I'm gonna...
00:28:54Okay.
00:28:55Hello.
00:28:56Do I know you?
00:28:57It feels like we've met before.
00:28:58Perhaps in the town square.
00:29:01Or was it the gentleman?
00:29:03It feels like we've met before.
00:29:05Perhaps in the town square.
00:29:06Or was it the gentleman?
00:29:08It feels like we've met before.
00:29:09Perhaps in the town square.
00:29:12Or was it the general store?
00:29:15I know you are someone that I do not want to forget.
00:29:21So may I be so bold to come out of the cold.
00:29:25And give this love a chance.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:31Okay.
00:29:32Okay.
00:29:33Have a good day.
00:29:34Okay.
00:29:35Hi.
00:29:36Have a good day.
00:29:38Hi.
00:29:42Hi.
00:29:48Time stands still, and love begins
00:29:54It's a timeless Christmas
00:30:18Hey, it's okay, hi
00:30:22Come here
00:30:28Oh my goodness
00:30:30Aunt Esther?
00:30:31What's the matter honey?
00:30:33Will you look at that?
00:30:37Oh, poor thing
00:30:39We've got to get her inside and keep her warm
00:30:42Come on, she'll be okay
00:30:45Oh, I think you've found her just in time
00:30:48She's praying
00:30:50That's because she knows she's safe
00:30:52Now
00:30:55It's time for dinner
00:30:57I don't want to go to sleep
00:31:15Oh
00:31:29Hello
00:31:30Hello
00:31:31One woman caroling troupe?
00:31:33Um, I have a situation
00:31:36Oh
00:31:37Hmm, tree related
00:31:39Oh no
00:31:40My tree is currently
00:31:42Au natural
00:31:43Oh, the old
00:31:45Birthday suit
00:31:46Most people normally decorate their trees
00:31:49I was considering going for kind of a woodland minimalist theme
00:31:52Landed on gave up before I started
00:31:54Hey, now
00:31:55I have been extremely busy
00:31:57Oh, I've seen, yeah
00:31:58I've seen your posters everywhere
00:31:59Even Frank's impressed
00:32:00He is
00:32:02He doesn't like me, does he?
00:32:05I don't think he loves the idea of losing his job
00:32:13Well, maybe
00:32:14Maybe the developer I've been talking to will keep it a cafe
00:32:17Walter Morley?
00:32:18No
00:32:19He won't
00:32:20We'll be storage
00:32:21But
00:32:22Back to the issue of what to do with your tree
00:32:25Yes
00:32:26So I was wondering
00:32:28This is a favor
00:32:30Do you have any extra Christmas decorations I could borrow while I'm here?
00:32:33I might have one or two
00:32:38Come on
00:32:39Oh
00:32:42Do not judge
00:32:43Oh, are you running some sort of holiday decoration side hustle?
00:32:49Yeah, that sounded a lot like judging
00:32:51It's a lot
00:32:52Yeah, I know
00:32:53You know what?
00:32:54My mom and sister got me just a ton of stuff
00:32:56The first year in the house to make it feel more like home after
00:33:00After what?
00:33:02After I moved in
00:33:06Oh
00:33:07Well, on top of being some sort of secret decor dealer
00:33:13You have a serious vinyl situation happening
00:33:15Oh yeah
00:33:16I mean it's just a showcase, the milk crates
00:33:19Oh, but it's working
00:33:20No, my Uncle Teddy was a trombonist in the US Army band
00:33:24Oh
00:33:25And he got me hooked on jazz when I was a kid
00:33:27And
00:33:28I don't know, I guess I just kind of ran with it
00:33:31Hmm
00:33:33Uh, these
00:33:34Believe it or not
00:33:35One day
00:33:36Uh
00:33:37Were originally supposed to be shelves
00:33:39I was gonna turn this into, uh
00:33:41Kind of like a listening music studio for myself
00:33:45Oh, it'd be perfect for that
00:33:47Yeah
00:33:48So what's stopping you?
00:33:50Yeah, life
00:33:52Hmm
00:33:53I know exactly what you mean
00:33:56Um
00:33:57So anyway, we'll start with these
00:33:59Oh
00:34:00And then, uh, these and these
00:34:02And we can just get this
00:34:03Oh, these are
00:34:04Oh, these are
00:34:05Ha ha ha ha
00:34:10Okay
00:34:11Now this
00:34:13Is a Christmas tree
00:34:14This is a tree
00:34:15It's beautiful
00:34:16Uh, what would your tree be like at home?
00:34:19Oh
00:34:22Petite
00:34:23No
00:34:24Um
00:34:25Themed by soft paint
00:34:27Twinkle lights
00:34:28Glass ornaments
00:34:29Glass?
00:34:30Oh, you're brave
00:34:31You definitely don't have pets
00:34:33Neither do you
00:34:34By the way
00:34:35Which I think is
00:34:36Honestly a little odd for a veterinarian
00:34:38Uh, I did
00:34:40I had a dog
00:34:41George Bailey
00:34:43But he, uh, crossed the rainbow bridge a couple years ago
00:34:47I don't know
00:34:49I guess I thought about getting another one
00:34:50I just
00:34:51I don't have the capacity
00:34:52The capacity?
00:34:54I don't know
00:34:55I'm
00:34:56I'm busy
00:34:57I'm a busy guy
00:34:58I'm busy with stuff
00:34:59Got it
00:35:00And I'm
00:35:01I'm a very important man
00:35:02Oh, I see
00:35:03Very important
00:35:04Well
00:35:05You know
00:35:06It is okay to take some time for yourself
00:35:09Noted
00:35:15I'm gonna
00:35:16Yeah
00:35:17Well thank you for all of this
00:35:19Oh yeah
00:35:20I really did have a lot of extra
00:35:21Listen
00:35:22Make no mistake
00:35:23This is very calculated
00:35:25This is part of my
00:35:27Charm offensive
00:35:28So you will see the error of your ways in selling the cafe
00:35:34Not gonna happen, busy Ben
00:35:35Not with that attitude
00:35:40Bye
00:35:47Hello, welcome
00:35:48Thank you for coming
00:35:49Hello
00:35:51Oh hello ladies
00:35:53Oh and they're gone
00:35:54Okay
00:35:55Hi
00:35:56Hi
00:35:57Sorry I am late
00:35:58Yeah, no problem
00:35:59Dan had a work also
00:36:00Of course
00:36:01Of course
00:36:02Hey, uh, Olivia, this is Meredith, my sister
00:36:03Mayor, this is, uh, Olivia Pierce
00:36:05Oh, nice to meet you
00:36:06I've heard so much about you

00:37:13Thank everyone so much
00:37:14For being here
00:37:15It's so incredibly important
00:37:16That we
00:37:17Spend this time
00:37:18With these little guys
00:37:19Because it builds social skills
00:37:20That are so important
00:37:21When they're
00:37:22Looking at adoption
00:37:23So thank you
00:37:24Okay
00:37:25Full credit to
00:37:26Ms. Olivia Pierce
00:37:27Who organized
00:37:28The big event
00:37:29In fact, she just informed me
00:37:30She has prepared
00:37:31A speech
00:37:32That she would like
00:37:33To deliver
00:37:34So let's get her up here
00:37:35How about a big round of applause
00:37:36For Olivia Pierce
00:37:38Thank you
00:37:42Thank you
00:37:43Yeah
00:37:44For that Ben
00:37:45You bet
00:37:46Thank you for the warm welcome
00:37:47Hi everybody
00:37:48Merry Catmas
00:37:49Merry Catmas
00:37:50Merry Catmas
00:37:51Well, the idea is simple
00:37:53You've already picked your kitties
00:37:55And now you're going to pick a book
00:37:56And you're going to read to them
00:37:57Although I have to admit
00:37:58I've never done this before
00:37:59Super easy to read to them
00:38:01Cats are very good listeners
00:38:03Thank you for telling me
00:38:05I'm excited to find out
00:38:07And it's true
00:38:08Stories are very important
00:38:09For people and pets
00:38:10Well, I have an idea
00:38:14How about after we read them
00:38:16Their Christmas stories
00:38:17We tell their stories
00:38:19Oh, maybe we could even draw their picture
00:38:22And then we can use them
00:38:24For potential adopters
00:38:25To get to know their cats better
00:38:27How does that sound?
00:38:29Yay!
00:38:30Yeah!
00:38:31Great
00:38:32Uh, wonderful
00:38:33Well, grab your books
00:38:35And let's get reading
00:38:36Enjoy, everyone
00:38:38You know, if I didn't know any better
00:38:40I'd say you were getting a little soft
00:38:42For these cats
00:38:43Uh, don't read into that
00:38:44I'm just doing what I do
00:38:46Yeah, marketing
00:38:47Yeah, I know
00:38:48Cold calculator
00:38:51Uh, no one's reading to that cat?
00:38:54Oh, that's, uh, Gingerbread
00:38:56He's actually been here the longest
00:38:59Really? How long?
00:39:01Three years, give or take
00:39:03Why so long?
00:39:06He is a cat of particular taste
00:39:10I haven't found his person yet
00:39:14What's that?
00:39:15Story time
00:39:16Oh, yes, of course
00:39:17Sorry
00:39:18Not a little bit
00:39:19There we go
00:39:20A little bit
00:39:21I'll talk a little bit
00:39:22A little bit
00:39:23A little bit
00:39:24There we go
00:39:27A little bit
00:39:29A littmin'
00:39:31Mmm.
00:39:43Twas the night before Christmas.
00:39:46When all through the house, not a creature was snoring,
00:39:50not even a mouse.
00:39:52That's good, because you'd probably chase it.
00:39:55The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
00:39:59Think Mom and Dad will let me keep her?
00:40:02We'll see.
00:40:07She needs a name.
00:40:10Noelle, because it's Christmas.
00:40:13Noelle.
00:40:15Oh, you're so sweet.
00:40:18Ooh.
00:40:20Ooh.
00:40:21Ooh.
00:40:22Ooh.
00:40:23Ooh.
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:39Okay, and there it is.
00:40:51Oh, okay, I think it looks like you're settling in.
00:40:57Only until Christmas.
00:40:59Then the sale is fast-tracked and I am on a plane back to buy my dream condo.
00:41:03And you don't think that this veterinarian is going to try to slow things down?
00:41:07He gave me his word.
00:41:09He is practically a boy scout. He's so considerate.
00:41:12Okay.
00:41:13Are my ears deceiving me or did you just get a little dreamy when you talk about the good doctor?
00:41:19No, I'm just telling you why when he gives his word, I know he means it.
00:41:24Okay.
00:41:26What are you doing over there?
00:41:28I am looking up Ben Kane, doctor of veterinary medicine.
00:41:32Yep, okay. Yeah, there it is. Just as I suspected.
00:41:35He is cute.
00:41:37Vic, there is nothing going on between me and the admittedly cute vet.
00:41:44Other than planning a bunch of cat-themed holiday events.
00:41:47Okay, if you say so.
00:41:50So what is next on your list of Christmas catnip things?
00:41:55Mistletoe.
00:41:56Mistletoe.
00:41:58I like mistletoe.
00:42:00Thank you guys. Enjoy your evening.
00:42:14Great job.
00:42:15Whoa, hey.
00:42:16Are you trying to get Snowball adopted by someone other than Joshy?
00:42:20I would never.
00:42:21No, Snowball is the ambassador for the event because he's so mellow.
00:42:24Smart.
00:42:25Mistletoe.
00:42:31Uh-oh.
00:42:32Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la-la.
00:42:37Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la-la.
00:42:41Dawn we now are gay apparel, fa-la-la-la-la-la.
00:42:45Very good.
00:42:46Very, very good.
00:42:47Bravo.
00:42:50Oh, that is a merry mistletoe market tradition.
00:42:52You might notice that there's bundles of mistletoe hanging all over the market.
00:42:56And if you get caught standing underneath one by somebody else, then you have two choices.
00:43:00You can kiss or you can sing a Christmas song loudly in public.
00:43:08Oh, I already checked.
00:43:10Milo, we're safe.
00:43:12A step lightly.
00:43:13It's dangerous out there.
00:43:21Hi, Snowball.
00:43:23Joshy, sweetie.
00:43:24We'll be at the booth next to you, okay?
00:43:26Okay, Molly.
00:43:31Oh, Joshy loves that cat.
00:43:33He's such a sweetheart.
00:43:34Actually, I don't know if you know his story, but Joshy is in foster care.
00:43:39And Molly and Luke looking after him.
00:43:41They bring him by the cafe a couple times a week to play with Snowball.
00:43:45It's kind of his safe space.
00:43:47Oh.
00:43:48Well, why don't they adopt Snowball?
00:43:50They're waiting for Joshy's adoption to go through first.
00:43:52It just hasn't happened yet.
00:43:54Well, why?
00:43:55I guess adoption is rarely linear.
00:43:58They have no idea how long it could take months.
00:44:00And the cafe could be sold by then.
00:44:04Mistletoe!
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:06Joy to the world, the Lord has come.
00:44:23Let her receive her king.
00:44:30What a lovely rendition.
00:44:32Olivia Pierce, Walter Morley.
00:44:34Nice to finally meet you in person.
00:44:42Walter Morley, it's very nice to meet you.
00:44:44It's great that you came.
00:44:46Walter, surprised to see you out shopping local.
00:44:49Can I make an exception for the holidays?
00:44:51Hard to resist the Merry Mistletoe Market.
00:44:54You made a lot of changes to the booth this year.
00:44:56It's been a lot of unexpected fun.
00:44:58Good.
00:44:59Listen, I'll have the paperwork ready in time for the Christmas party like we discussed.
00:45:02Christmas party?
00:45:03It's the last of the events I committed to, so everything should be wrapped up by then.
00:45:07Perfect!
00:45:08Once you're done with your catnip Christmas obligations, we can all sign and make the sale official.
00:45:13We'll see you both then.
00:45:14Okay, great.
00:45:15Good night, Walter.
00:45:16So he's gonna bring the paperwork to the Christmas party?
00:45:20Yeah, there's no reason to drag things out.
00:45:22Yeah, don't.
00:45:23No.
00:45:24Ben, you said you wouldn't drag this out.
00:45:26I'm not gonna drag things out.
00:45:28Give me that cheer!
00:45:29Give me all that cheer!
00:45:30See the snow, it's gently falling.
00:45:32Children playing joy.
00:45:33Do you want to race?
00:45:34Race something to the parents?
00:45:35What the password?
00:45:37Oh, there you are!
00:45:40The twins insisted on seeing Uncle Ben before we left.
00:45:43Okay, I gotta get this.
00:45:45Hold on.
00:45:46Oh, very nice.
00:45:47Okay, okay.
00:45:48Okay, I'm sending these to Mom and Dad right now because they've been begging me for updates.
00:45:52Hi, I'm Dan, Merida's husband.
00:45:54Hi.
00:45:55It's nice to meet you.
00:45:56Merida told me you knocked it out of the park with a cat in the storytime.
00:45:59She did an incredible job, truly.
00:46:01Oh, speaking of fun things, Olivia, do you plans for dinner tomorrow night?
00:46:05I don't have any plans.
00:46:06Just coming up with ideas for the Christmas party.
00:46:08Perfect.
00:46:09We can discuss ideas over dinner at our place.
00:46:12Dan makes the most amazing lasagna.
00:46:15Not gonna lie, pretty good.
00:46:17And Ben, you're on dessert duty, again, like every Sunday.
00:46:21That's a great way to find out, thank you.
00:46:24I'd love to, but I insist on bringing something.
00:46:27Oh, no, that's not necessary.
00:46:28I will not say no.
00:46:30Bring whatever you like.
00:46:36That's wonderful, thank you.
00:46:37I'll be in touch.
00:46:38Thank you so much.
00:46:39Have a good night.
00:46:41So, what should I bring to Merida's tomorrow night?
00:46:44Good advice.
00:46:45Yeah, good question.
00:46:46Uh, whatever you like.
00:46:47Ooh, I don't know if I have any cookware.
00:46:50Might all be in boxes.
00:46:52Well, you could always come to my place and cook there,
00:46:55and then, you know, we'll head over together.
00:46:57Are you sure?
00:46:58Yeah.
00:46:59Tomorrow night.
00:47:00Okay.
00:47:01Should we pack up?
00:47:02Yes.
00:47:03Wonderful.
00:47:04I never thought I'd meet someone who shared my appreciation for espresso.
00:47:19Well, you play your cards right, maybe I'll bring one to your house one morning.
00:47:23Oh.
00:47:24What kind of beans do you use?
00:47:25St. Helena's.
00:47:26The mayor says that I'm a coffee snob, but I prefer just a general snob.
00:47:31So that's why you partnered on the cafe.
00:47:34You have surprising layers, Ben.
00:47:36Much like this dish that we're making.
00:47:39What is this?
00:47:40Oh, this is a Christmas team.
00:47:42What makes it Christmas?
00:47:44Mostly the colors.
00:47:45Oh.
00:47:46I'm using red tomatoes, white onions, green zucchinis.
00:47:49My mom learned to make it one December in Provence.
00:47:52And then after that, she would make it most holidays, well, whenever we were somewhere
00:47:56that would allow for cooking.
00:47:58Allow for cooking?
00:48:00My parents were nomads.
00:48:04Mom was a photographer.
00:48:05Dad's in finance.
00:48:06So we traveled so much when I was growing up, you would think we were running from the authorities.
00:48:11We weren't.
00:48:12Okay.
00:48:13Good.
00:48:14Because I'm not a big fan of criminals.
00:48:16And where are they now?
00:48:19Your folks?
00:48:20Oh, they are currently in Mallorca until the end of the year.
00:48:23And then they go to Cape Town, I believe.
00:48:25Wow.
00:48:26What about yours?
00:48:27Arizona.
00:48:28They retired there.
00:48:29They move around quite a bit too.
00:48:31You know, golf course to the pool, pool to the patio, maybe back in the pool, depending
00:48:34on the day.
00:48:35Well, that doesn't sound so bad.
00:48:38Doesn't sound so bad.
00:48:40So do you have a place that you would consider home?
00:48:44Look, we were never in any place long enough.
00:48:46I mean, not anything like you have here.
00:48:48Hmm.
00:48:49Although I guess the closest thing I have is my Aunt Esther's.
00:48:53My parents would occasionally leave me with her if they were going out of town for
00:48:56work.
00:48:57She talked about you.
00:48:58She did?
00:48:59Every time you would send a postcard from one of your far-flung destinations, she'd put
00:49:03it up in the cafe.
00:49:04She'd brag about you to anybody who would listen.
00:49:05It was really sweet.
00:49:06Didn't even make it home for her memorial.
00:49:07It happened really fast.
00:49:08I still feel really badly about it.
00:49:09And that I didn't spend enough time with her.
00:49:11And then she gave me half the cat cafe, which I still don't know why.
00:49:12Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.
00:49:18Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.
00:49:19Yeah.
00:49:20Yeah.
00:49:21Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.
00:49:22Oh, I can't eat another bite.
00:49:23I'm sorry.
00:49:24Oh, I can't eat another bite.
00:49:25I'm sorry.
00:49:26Come on.
00:49:27It's vegan pie.
00:49:28It's your favorite.
00:49:29Maybe one more bite.
00:49:30Maybe one more bite.
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:32That's what I thought.
00:49:33The monsters are officially asleep.
00:49:34Uncle Ben's power is my favorite.
00:49:35Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.
00:49:37Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.
00:49:38Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.
00:49:40Oh, I can't eat another bite.
00:49:41I'm sorry.
00:49:42Come on.
00:49:43It's vegan pie.
00:49:44It's your favorite.
00:49:45Maybe a little more bite.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47That's what I thought.
00:49:48The monsters are officially asleep.
00:50:01Uncle Ben's powers of bedtime story reading are officially undefeated.
00:50:07They adore you.
00:50:09Oh, they adore stalling bedtime.
00:50:12Yeah.
00:50:13They do.
00:50:14Olivia, the vegetable tea on was amazing.
00:50:18Well, I can't take all the credit.
00:50:19Ben helped.
00:50:20Yes, I watched.
00:50:22Moral support.
00:50:23Yes.
00:50:24Which you need when cooking.
00:50:25That's big.
00:50:26That's a big piece.
00:50:27You two should team up more often.
00:50:31So, what's the next big event at the Catnip Cafe?
00:50:36A catnip pajama party and movie night.
00:50:39And we've got a special screening of the Sassy Cat Saves Christmas.
00:50:42Oh.
00:50:43Ben asked for that.
00:50:45What?
00:50:46It's classic.
00:50:47It's great.
00:50:48And what about the Christmas party?
00:50:49Where is that going to be?
00:50:50Oh, I have been talking to Abby and her husband at Juniper and Pine.
00:50:58What?
00:50:59No.
00:51:00Don't.
00:51:01Don't do that.
00:51:02There's no what.
00:51:03No.
00:51:04Did I?
00:51:05No.
00:51:06I thought you guys were friends because you had the gutter scoop thing.
00:51:07Yes.
00:51:08We are friends.
00:51:09Yes.
00:51:10They're lovely people.
00:51:11Okay.
00:51:12Tell me I didn't put my foot in it.
00:51:13You did not.
00:51:14Abby's Ben's ex-fiance.
00:51:15There it is.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:17We were two high school sweethearts and then Abby went away to college.
00:51:20They found each other again years later and then they got engaged.
00:51:23Yes.
00:51:24And then we decided that we were better off as friends, which we are.
00:51:29Thank you for that incredibly detailed retelling of my failed love life.
00:51:34All right.
00:51:35Oh, I'm sure the right person will come along someday.
00:51:41Um, wine?
00:51:43Olivia?
00:51:44I would love something.
00:51:45Dan, Mayor?
00:51:46Please.
00:51:47Yeah.
00:51:48No, thank you.
00:51:54Well, I guess the secret's out.
00:51:57What?
00:51:58What?
00:51:59What?
00:52:00What secret?
00:52:01What?
00:52:02You're going to be an uncle again.
00:52:11For real?
00:52:12Yes!
00:52:13Aw, congratulations!
00:52:14Yay!
00:52:20Oh, my gosh.
00:52:21Wow.
00:52:22That's a pretty good secret.
00:52:23Yeah.
00:52:24Are you nuts?
00:52:25I don't know.
00:52:27She is.
00:52:28She is.
00:52:29And so am I.
00:52:30Takes you to Tango, pal.
00:52:31I'm so happy.
00:52:47So, when Meredith mentioned having another baby, did I misread or did you have a reaction?
00:52:57Caught that, did you?
00:52:58Hmm.
00:52:59Hmm.
00:53:00Uh, no.
00:53:01You didn't misread.
00:53:02Kinda just slipped out.
00:53:05I mean, don't get me wrong.
00:53:07I'm, I'm a thousand percent happy for those guys.
00:53:11But?
00:53:12Sometimes I feel like everyone around me has all of these amazing things going on and I'm
00:53:19kinda just standing still.
00:53:22Like, Mare having baby three on the way really drove that home for me in a pretty big way.
00:53:29Do you want kids?
00:53:30I do.
00:53:31I mean, I did.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33You're still young.
00:53:34You have plenty of time.
00:53:35I don't feel young.
00:53:38What about you?
00:53:39You want kids?
00:53:40Um, hmm.
00:53:41I do want kids.
00:53:44But I am so busy, I can't take care of an animal, let alone a human being.
00:53:51Well, you know, I mean, historically, people have found a partner to do the whole kid thing with.
00:54:00Helps with, uh, bringing groceries in from the car.
00:54:03I don't know, maybe someone to have a glass of wine with after a long day of scraping crayons out of the carpet.
00:54:10That would be nice, too.
00:54:21Yeah.
00:54:23Well, um...
00:54:25Good night.
00:54:26Good night.
00:54:40Good night.
00:54:41Good night.
00:54:42Good night.
00:54:43Good night.
00:54:45Good night.
00:54:46That's a whole big community.
00:54:48Good night.
00:54:49Yep.
00:54:51Pretty cool, I betcha.
00:54:53But there's a lot here too.
00:54:55It's in the kitchen.
00:54:56That's a hell.
00:54:58You do enjoy.
00:55:00It takes a small package of, of course,ésus- ложiki.
00:55:03Well, you have time for for your living.
00:55:08So take off your jackets, leave your worries at the door
00:55:13And gather round the fire, yeah that's what this home is for
00:55:19Okay.
00:55:22I understand.
00:55:25Love you too.
00:55:33They say no?
00:55:34Mom said it wouldn't be fair to take care of a kitten when they're never home and always busy.
00:55:41What's going to happen to her now?
00:55:43Well, we can take her to a shelter tomorrow and...
00:55:47What if no one picks her? What if she's all alone at Christmas?
00:55:53Or I could keep her.
00:55:57Really?
00:55:59Well, suppose I could use a little company around here.
00:56:02I'm so glad you're here.
00:56:04Thank you, thank you, thank you!
00:56:06Oh, you're welcome.
00:56:08I'm so glad you're here.
00:56:10Okay kitty cat, it's you and me now.
00:56:12Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
00:56:20I knew you had a crush on him.
00:56:22Okay, maybe it's a small little crush. Tiny.
00:56:26But there's no point because I'm leaving in a few days.
00:56:28Yeah, well, there's never a point to a crush, it's just a crush.
00:56:32Yeah, well, I'm still leaving.
00:56:35Yeah, but there are laptops and phones with screens.
00:56:39Vic, I don't have time to date someone in my own city, let alone someone across the country.
00:56:43That is so not true. I mean, how many weekend nights have you spent watching movies with me and Sarah?
00:56:48Yeah, but I love spending time with you and Sarah.
00:56:50If you met a guy who you liked enough to spend time with, then you would just find a way.
00:56:58Probably.
00:56:59Definitely. So, find a way.
00:57:01You make it sound so easy.
00:57:03Yeah, well, sometimes it just is, okay?
00:57:05I have to get going. I am running late.
00:57:08Go, go, go. I love you.
00:57:10Bye.
00:57:20Hello.
00:57:22Oh.
00:57:24Nice to see your face.
00:57:25Hi.
00:57:26Hi.
00:57:27I brought you some excellent beans for your excellent machine.
00:57:29That was incredibly thoughtful. Thank you.
00:57:33Lovely.
00:57:35Shelves?
00:57:36Shelves.
00:57:37Oh.
00:57:38Need any help?
00:57:41Um, yeah, I would love that.
00:57:43Can you operate a sander?
00:57:44No.
00:57:47But I can stain.
00:57:48All right.
00:57:49Well, I'll throw those guys on.
00:57:53All right.
00:57:54Well done.
00:57:55Look at that.
00:57:56Um, thank you, by the way.
00:58:00You're welcome, by the way.
00:58:01No, I mean, you know, the other night you, uh, you said something pretty profound about, you know, taking time for myself. And, uh, this is me taking time for myself. Yeah.
00:58:16Mm-hmm.
00:58:17Mm-hmm.
00:58:18Mm-hmm.
00:58:19Mm-hmm.
00:58:20Uh-oh.
00:58:21Did someone's dog eat a Christmas ribbon?
00:58:22Oh.
00:58:23Oh.
00:58:24Much, much worse. Max the pug, it seems, has had a run in with a skunk on his walk.
00:58:27Oh, no, no.
00:58:28So that's my day.
00:58:29And I, I have really enjoyed your company doing these Christmassy events.
00:58:32This has been a nightmare for me.
00:58:33I've enjoyed it, too.
00:58:34Um, I'm excited to be, um, excited to be here for you to be here for me, too.
00:58:39I'm excited to be here for you to be here for the rest of your life.
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:42Uh-oh.
00:58:43Uh-oh.
00:58:44Did someone's dog eat a Christmas ribbon?
00:58:45Oh.
00:58:46Oh.
00:58:47Oh.
00:58:48Much, much worse.
00:58:49Max the pug, it seems, has had a run in with a skunk on his walk.
00:58:51Oh, no, no.
00:58:52So that's my day.
00:58:53I, I have really enjoyed your company doing these Christmassy events.
00:58:57Um, I'm excited to see what you come up with for the pajama party.
00:59:00Well, picture this.
00:59:02Close your eyes.
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:04Imagine it.
00:59:05See it in your mind's eye.
00:59:06Oh, my.
00:59:07There it is.
00:59:08A winter wonderland.
00:59:09Okay.
00:59:10Oh.
00:59:11Oh, no.
00:59:12What now?
00:59:13Uh, that's my sister threatening to quit if I don't deal with the skunk situation, so.
00:59:17That is okay.
00:59:18Gotta do what you gotta do, so.
00:59:20Hey, remember that the cats can't eat the fakes.
00:59:22No.
00:59:23I know.
00:59:24I read it in the binder.
00:59:25Okay.
00:59:26Good luck.
00:59:41Hi, buddy.
00:59:42Are you excited for this movie, buddy?
00:59:44He always checks to make sure no one's claimed him.
00:59:47Oh, well, it looks like Snowball's claimed him.
00:59:55Are you going inside?
00:59:57Are you gonna watch a movie from out here?
00:59:59Oh, I was, uh, yeah.
01:00:01Going in.
01:00:02Are you?
01:00:03You going in?
01:00:04I want to talk to Olivia about the Christmas party, plus cats, movies.
01:00:08Pretty hard to resist.
01:00:09It's really good of you and Grant to let her use the restaurant.
01:00:12Oh, yeah.
01:00:13We're happy to help.
01:00:14Maybe we can make it even, like, an annual thing.
01:00:17What?
01:00:18Yeah, no.
01:00:19Uh, I would love nothing more.
01:00:20We should get in there.
01:00:21I think they want to start the movie.
01:00:22Oh, you like her.
01:00:23What?
01:00:24I know that look.
01:00:25Oh, do you?
01:00:26Yes.
01:00:27Yeah.
01:00:28I do.
01:00:29Okay.
01:00:30Ben, no one deserves to find the right person more than you.
01:00:38Thanks.
01:00:39You could probably use a few more inches on those pant legs.
01:00:41All right.
01:00:42You guys, I just gotta get right by you.
01:00:43Thank you so much.
01:00:44Oh, my goodness.
01:00:45Hello.
01:00:46Hi.
01:00:47Ben, how you doing?
01:00:48Oh, it looks so good.
01:00:49Wow.
01:00:50Are you wearing a onesie?
01:00:51You better believe it.
01:00:52I'm so good.
01:00:53I'm so good.
01:00:54I'm so good.
01:00:55I'm so good.
01:00:56I'm so good.
01:00:57I'm so good.
01:00:58I'm so good.
01:00:59You better believe it.
01:01:00That's a real fleece.
01:01:01Feel it.
01:01:02Wow.
01:01:03Oh, that is.
01:01:04That's right.
01:01:05She got this baby the first year we did this.
01:01:07It's not a reason to change.
01:01:08Very on brand.
01:01:09Yeah.
01:01:10This looks incredible.
01:01:11What a turnout.
01:01:13I'm glad it meets your approval.
01:01:14Yes.
01:01:15And then some.
01:01:16Shall we introduce the movie?
01:01:19I actually invited Frank to do the honors.
01:01:22Because if you think about it, this place is partially his, too.
01:01:25Yeah.
01:01:27Okay.
01:01:28Welcome, everyone.
01:01:29How are we doing today?
01:01:30Yeah.
01:01:31Yeah?
01:01:32Welcome to the catnip Christmas pajama movie night.
01:01:35Woo!
01:01:36Yeah.
01:01:37Everyone, grab a blanket and a buddy.
01:01:40It can be a cat or a human.
01:01:43Tinsel's going to be my buddy tonight.
01:01:45Get comfy and we will start the Christmas show soon.
01:01:47Woo!
01:01:48Don't forget.
01:01:49Woo!
01:01:50There we go for this trick.
01:01:51Here we go.
01:01:52Thank you for staying after to help me clean up.
01:02:22It's the least I could do.
01:02:24Although if it's all the same to you, maybe we can hold off on planning the Christmas
01:02:27party until tomorrow.
01:02:29Max's great de-skunking kind of took it out of me.
01:02:32Poor Max.
01:02:33Poor Max.
01:02:34Poor Ben.
01:02:35Yeah, thank you.
01:02:38I was thinking, we don't have to have the party at Juniper and Pine if you don't want to.
01:02:45When I suggested it, I didn't, I didn't.
01:02:47No.
01:02:48Of course we have to have it there.
01:02:49It's perfect.
01:02:50What?
01:02:51Because of Abby?
01:02:52No.
01:02:53It's fine.
01:02:54It was seven years ago.
01:02:57And there's been no one for you since then?
01:03:01You know, it's a pretty small town.
01:03:04It's not every day a beautiful, eligible woman just waltzes in off the streets.
01:03:09It does happen though.
01:03:12Occasionally.
01:03:13How about you?
01:03:14Have you ever, you know, been in love, that whole thing?
01:03:24I was married once.
01:03:26Right after college.
01:03:27Wow.
01:03:28Mm-hmm.
01:03:29His name was Oliver.
01:03:31You're kidding me.
01:03:34Oliver and Olivia.
01:03:35Yes.
01:03:36Good.
01:03:37It seemed fated.
01:03:38It was not.
01:03:39When did you realize it wasn't?
01:03:41Well, I figured it out when I realized he thought love was all pursuit and passion.
01:03:49Constant pursuit is exhausting.
01:03:52And passion fades.
01:03:54Real love takes work.
01:03:56Little passion is nice though.
01:04:01Humble experience.
01:04:03It's true.
01:04:05You know, my parents, they didn't necessarily provide the most stable home life for their only child.
01:04:12Moi.
01:04:13But they did provide a perfect example of a healthy relationship.
01:04:17Do you speak French?
01:04:19Un petit peu.
01:04:20Et toi?
01:04:21Un peu.
01:04:22Un peu.
01:04:23Little, very little peu.
01:04:24I always wanted to go to Brussels.
01:04:26Still haven't gotten there yet.
01:04:27Seems to be kind of a theme for me.
01:04:29You know, you can tell people no.
01:04:33Yeah?
01:04:34Who am I if I'm not the guy that people rely on?
01:04:38Who takes care of you?
01:04:44No one.
01:04:54Gingerbread!
01:04:55No!
01:04:56No!
01:04:57Wait!
01:04:58Come back!
01:04:59No!
01:05:00Oh!
01:05:01Oh!
01:05:02Oh!
01:05:03Here!
01:05:04Oh wait!
01:05:05Okay.
01:05:06Oh!
01:05:07Oh!
01:05:08He's letting you hold him.
01:05:09See, isn't this nice?
01:05:11Seems pretty comfortable.
01:05:12I'll bring him to the catio.
01:05:26I'll bring him to the catio.
01:05:45Good morning.
01:05:46Good morning.
01:05:47I come bearing gifts, as promised.
01:05:54Um, I'd love to know what you think of the coffee.
01:05:57Oh.
01:05:58Yes.
01:06:03Perfect.
01:06:04I was right.
01:06:06Lucky me.
01:06:08Very lucky both of us.
01:06:11Do you want to come in?
01:06:12Oh!
01:06:13Um, no.
01:06:14I would love to.
01:06:15I, um,
01:06:16I have to go to work.
01:06:18Yes.
01:06:22Oh, um, I'll see you later.
01:06:23Definitely.
01:06:25We will definitely see you later.
01:06:27Uh, by the way,
01:06:28I'm taking point on getting the restaurant ready tonight
01:06:30for the Christmas party.
01:06:31No, no.
01:06:32That's too much for one person.
01:06:33I insist.
01:06:34I gotta pull my weight.
01:06:35You did the story time.
01:06:36You did the pajama party.
01:06:38I got that.
01:06:39I'm doing it.
01:06:40Are you sure?
01:06:41Okay.
01:06:44Have a good day.
01:06:45I will now.
01:07:05Those RSVPs keep coming in.
01:07:07We've never had this many for the Christmas party.
01:07:10I bet we get several adoptions out of this.
01:07:12Oh.
01:07:13Good.
01:07:14I know Ben was concerned about it.
01:07:16Me too.
01:07:17Yeah?
01:07:18Yeah.
01:07:19I didn't anticipate getting so attached,
01:07:21but...
01:07:23it is hard not to.
01:07:25It shows.
01:07:26You know,
01:07:27you've really made these Christmas events feel...
01:07:29different this year.
01:07:30In a good way.
01:07:31In a good way.
01:07:40Well, don't you two look nice.
01:07:42We want to put Snowball on hold.
01:07:44I'm getting adopted.
01:07:46Congratulations!
01:07:48Thanks.
01:07:49It's been quite the journey.
01:07:50Understatement, but...
01:07:51we got our own Christmas miracle.
01:07:53You know, Snowball has been looking for the perfect person.
01:07:55He was looking for me.
01:07:56Right?
01:07:57Mom?
01:07:58That's right, honey.
01:07:59Now, let's go see Snowball.
01:08:00Let's go see Snowball.
01:08:01Let's go see Snowball.
01:08:02Remember?
01:08:03I admir Defense Snowball did he think?
01:08:04You've already answered.
01:08:05Why do you think Snowball did he know his name falling down?
01:08:07No, no, no, no.
01:08:09I'm always moved.
01:08:10OK, you weren't immersed.
01:08:12Yeah, sir, let's go see Snowball.
01:08:13He was looking for me.
01:08:14Right?
01:08:15Mom?
01:08:19That's right, honey.
01:08:26Now, let's go see Snowball.
01:08:28Let's go see Snowball.
01:08:29The mail came out.
01:08:30Hello.
01:08:47What are you doing?
01:08:48I said I got it.
01:08:50Yeah, yeah.
01:08:52You know what?
01:08:53I'm so glad you're here.
01:08:54There's no way I can do this on my own.
01:08:56Well, I come bearing helping hands and good news.
01:09:00I will take both.
01:09:02Joshi got adopted.
01:09:07That means Snowball found his forever home, too.
01:09:15What is this?
01:09:16Are you kidding?
01:09:16What are you two?
01:09:17What is this?
01:09:18I hope you don't mind.
01:09:19We brought reinforcement.
01:09:20Are you kidding me?
01:09:21The more the merrier.
01:09:22No.
01:09:22Hey, you've always been there for us.
01:09:24Olivia called.
01:09:25And since you never asked for help,
01:09:27she did the asking for you.
01:09:30I don't, I, this is, look at, look at all of you.
01:09:35Thank you for this.
01:09:37Truly, I don't even know what to say.
01:09:39Aside from get to work.
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:44You should put up in the tea.
01:09:45I'm going to start the tea.

01:15:41The snow's really coming down.
01:15:43Where are you?
01:15:44I'm a couple hours out of Buffalo.
01:15:46My flight is in eight hours.
01:15:48Eight hours?
01:15:50It's Christmas Eve.
01:15:51It's the only flight I could find.
01:15:52Well, you still could have gone to the party and made your flight.
01:15:55There's Santa Claus.
01:15:56Ben doesn't want me there.
01:15:58Okay.
01:15:59Yes, he does.
01:16:02He was just upset.
01:16:03Do you honestly believe that?
01:16:05He was so hurt.
01:16:07I didn't know what to say.
01:16:10I just froze.
01:16:11I am not a good ad-libber.
01:16:14And what would you have said if you were?
01:16:15Maybe.
01:16:16I know this is complicated.
01:16:20I know.
01:16:21Let's go to Brussels for an espresso.
01:16:26What?
01:16:26It's a long story.
01:16:28So, what about the condo?
01:16:30Are we making an offer?
01:16:31I'm at a gas station.
01:16:33I gotta go.
01:16:33I'll call you back, okay?
01:16:34I love you.
01:16:35You got this.
01:16:36Love you.
01:16:50Hi.
01:16:51Can I shoot this out?
01:16:52Oh, I know.
01:16:54I just heard the music.
01:17:00Hey, Kitty.
01:17:02This is Guy.
01:17:03He's my buddy.
01:17:06He likes to watch me work.
01:17:08I rescued him.
01:17:11Just leave as a rescue?
01:17:12There's this cat cafe over there in Felicity.
01:17:17And, um, I got it from this really nice lady about, um, about six years ago.
01:17:34Do you have a cat?
01:17:39Not yet.
01:17:48Merry Christmas.
01:17:50Merry Christmas.
01:18:02So, you're really gonna sell.
01:18:04I'm so sorry.
01:18:05I know how much the cafe means to you.
01:18:08How much Olivia...
01:18:09Yeah.
01:18:12She made her choice, though, and I have to respect that.
01:18:19Hey, maybe after New Year's, you could show me those puppies again.
01:18:23Really?
01:18:24I think it's time.
01:18:27Okay.
01:18:27Will you, uh, excuse me?
01:18:34Walter.
01:18:35Olivia will not be joining us.
01:18:37I got your message.
01:18:38But you're here, and do you want to sign now, or...
01:18:42No need to wait.
01:18:43Is he about to attack?
01:18:56Is he about to attack?
01:18:58Probably.
01:18:59Yeah, he's pretty dangerous.
01:19:02I think that's it.
01:19:04He likes it when you scratch behind his ears.
01:19:13Yeah.
01:19:14Yeah.
01:19:23So, excuse me.
01:19:25Ben.
01:19:25I thought you were halfway to Buffalo.
01:19:32What are you...
01:19:32I had to come back.
01:19:33I just...
01:19:33I felt like my Aunt Esther was reaching down from heaven, telling me I was making a mistake.
01:19:41Mistake?
01:19:41Wait, is that the contract?
01:19:48Yeah.
01:19:48I...
01:19:49I signed.
01:19:50No.
01:19:51No, no.
01:19:51Hey, listen.
01:19:52We made a deal.
01:19:53I...
01:19:53I made you a promise, and you fulfilled your end of that, and I made some bad assumptions,
01:19:58but I signed it.
01:19:59I just want you to be happy.
01:20:01No.
01:20:02No, the cafe's not for sale.
01:20:06Mr. Morley.
01:20:07Olivia.
01:20:09I think he likes me.
01:20:10Here's the deal.
01:20:11I thought I always knew what I wanted, but my aunt, she gave me a chance at something
01:20:17better, to continue what she started, a place where people and animals, they find
01:20:24connection, belonging.
01:20:29The Catnip Cafe is my aunt's legacy, and I intend to keep that going.
01:20:34For her, for me, I'm not selling.
01:20:39Okay.
01:20:40Okay.
01:20:41Okay?
01:20:43Yeah.
01:20:44I didn't come for a fight.
01:20:46I came for signatures.
01:20:48But then this guy jumped into my lap, and I didn't have the heart to move him.
01:20:53He's too cute.
01:20:53Well, the kids have been asking for a while, so...
01:21:09I'm happy for you.
01:21:10Merry Christmas.
01:21:11Oh my God.
01:21:12Merry Christmas.
01:21:12I'm happy for you.
01:21:14And I'm happy for you.
01:21:22Why?
01:21:24Are you sure?
01:21:26Absolutely.
01:21:28I realized all I've ever wanted was home.
01:21:32I found that here with the cafe, the town, with...
01:21:41With me?
01:21:42Unless I read that wrong.
01:21:46No.
01:21:48You didn't read that wrong.
01:21:51Let's go tell everybody the news.
01:22:00Eventful evening.
01:22:02It was.
01:22:05So we have three applications to Foster.
01:22:10Wow.
01:22:11Four holds to adopt.
01:22:13Yeah.
01:22:14And one adoption.
01:22:15Who's the one?
01:22:17Me.
01:22:18For gingerbread.
01:22:19Okay.
01:22:21You know he's a cat of particular taste.
01:22:24Oh.
01:22:25Well.
01:22:26I am a woman of particular taste.
01:22:28Clearly.
01:22:29I was also thinking.
01:22:30How would you feel about being neighbors?
01:22:42Ooh.
01:22:43Because there is this charming older house that I have my eyes on.
01:22:45Yeah?
01:22:46Yeah.
01:22:47Or there's a grumpy guy down the block.
01:22:48I think I can win him over.
01:22:51Then I think it's perfect.
01:23:03Come on man.
01:23:04We've got to work on your timing.
01:23:05I'm just going to steal it for a second.
01:23:10Can I have to stay in a second?
01:23:11Yeah.
01:23:12Yeah.
01:23:13Yeah
01:23:14Yeah.
01:23:15Yeah.
01:23:16Yeah.
