00:00Help all kids learn and grow with PBS Kids.
00:03Thank you for supporting your PBS station.
00:07That's me, Fred the house cat.
00:09When my family leaves for the day,
00:11I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.
00:14I become...
00:19Nature Cat! Backyard explorer extraordinaire!
00:24Tally ho! Tally ho!
00:27We're climbing out the trees now.
00:29We're swinging through the breeze now.
00:31We're getting muddy knees now.
00:33Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
00:35Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
00:37Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
00:39So what are we waiting for?
00:41We're so excited to explore
00:43All that nature has in store.
00:45Nature Cat! Tally ho!
00:47Tally ho! Tally ho!
00:49We're the favorite nature guide.
00:51We just can't wait to get outside!
00:53We're swinging through the trees now.
00:55We're jumping in the leaves now.
00:57We're getting muddy knees now.
00:59We're getting muddy knees now.
01:01Tally ho!
01:02Tally ho!
01:03Tally ho!
01:05Tally ho!
01:07Stop that squirrel!
01:12Who's ready for some glorious bird watching?
01:15Count the mouse in, man.
01:17My binoculars are smudge free and ready to go.
01:19My notebook is ready for some serious scientific bird notations.
01:24Oh, yeah?
01:25Oh, yeah?
01:26And I'm all ready to attract our birdie buddies with my birdie buddy bird call.
01:31Bark, bark, bark!
01:32Wait, that doesn't sound just right.
01:34Worry not, my furry friend, for I have a surefire way to attract our birds.
01:40Behold!
01:41Behold!
01:42The bird feeder!
01:43Hmm.
01:44Squeaks!
01:45That's for the birds!
01:48Rolling Nature Cop!
01:50See, if you leave food around us wild animals, we eat it.
01:54It's kind of our thing.
01:55In that case, we shall hang this feeder in yonder tree, where the only wild animals that
02:02can eat from it are the birds!
02:04How?
02:05Lend me a shoulder.
02:06I'll lend you, too.
02:07No extra charge.
02:09Now, time for some backyard bird watching!
02:13Dolly ha!
02:14Let's do it, let's bird watching, yeah!
02:19Oh, yeah!
02:20Bird watching, oh, yeah!
02:22Oh, birdies!
02:23Nature chat for nature, Cat.
02:25Nature chat for nature, Cat.
02:27For me?
02:28Who could it be?
02:29Cruiser!
02:30Hello, Nature Cat.
02:31I see you've built a bird feeder made exclusively for birds.
02:36My mission, if I choose to accept it, is to infiltrate that feeder and take all the delicious
02:46seeds for myself.
02:47What will I do?
02:48Can you feel the tension?
02:52I can feel it!
02:57It feels fuzzy!
02:59Oh, wait, that's just my tail.
03:01Oh, please don't accept the mission, please don't accept the mission.
03:04Mission accepted!
03:06Toodle!
03:07Ooh, what is that exhilarating music?
03:12Wait, what's happening?
03:16Is the feeder okay?
03:21The feeder!
03:22Uh, Nature Cat, it's hanging right where you left it.
03:26Yeah, it's safe.
03:27Chill out, man.
03:28But not for long!
03:29Don't try this at home, kids!
03:33Woohoo!
03:34No!
03:35I must stop that squirrel!
03:37Tally-ho!
03:38Mother!
03:39What are you gonna learn, Nature Cat?
03:41You'll never design a feeder that I can't conquer!
03:42I am just too good!
03:43Squirrel power!
03:48Hehehehe!
03:49Hehehehe!
03:50Hehehehe!
03:51Hehehehe!
03:52Hehehehe!
03:53Hehehehe!
03:54It all happened so fast!
03:55How did that squirrel do that?
03:56Like this!
03:57Whoa, that squirrel has some serious hops, huh?
03:59Whoa!
04:00Whoa!
04:01Check out the way his claws pripped that tree!
04:05Oh, he's not so great!
04:06Yeah, he's not so great!
04:07Thank you, Hal!
04:08He's so, so, so, so great!
04:09Let's just forget about the squirrel and get back to bird watching!
04:10Hmm?
04:11How?
04:12Cruiser will just take all of the bird seed again!
04:15Oh, no!
04:16He won't!
04:17Because we are going to make it end of the world!
04:18Okay, let's go!
04:19And we're going to go to the bird seed again!
04:20Well, I'll make it end of the world!
04:21What's the most fun?
04:22Like this!
04:23Whoa, that squirrel has some serious hops, huh?
04:24Whoa!
04:25Check out the way his claws gripped that tree!
04:26Oh, he's not so great!
04:27He's not so great!
04:28Yeah, he's not so great!
04:29Thank you, Hal!
04:30He's so, so, so, so, so great!
04:31Let's just forget about the squirrel and get back to bird watching!
04:36Oh, no, he won't, because we are going to make it impossible for him to get to that feeder.
04:42Yeah!
04:44Wait, can we do that?
04:45Oh, yes. Tally-ho!
04:49And now for the piece de resistance.
04:52Vegetable oil!
04:54Vegetable oil? Interesting. Are you frying french fries, Nature Girl?
04:58Nope. I'm going to slather this pole with oil to make it extra slippery.
05:03That squirrel will never be able to climb it.
05:06But Cruiser didn't need to climb a pole.
05:08He just leapt from branch to branch to get to the feeder.
05:11Ah, you're right, I need to ponder this problem.
05:15Hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
05:20I got nothing.
05:21Why don't we just put the pole far away from all the cheese?
05:25Ha ha, yes! Amazing idea, Squeaks.
05:29Just need to simply move the pole.
05:31Move the pole, move the pole, move the pole.
05:38Yes, it's not anywhere near the tree now.
05:41Just as planned.
05:45Oh, yeah, baby, that squirrel's never gonna get that bird seed now.
05:50I hope not, but that squirrel seems to be a pretty good problem solver.
05:55What we need is a test squirrel to try it out.
05:58Oh, pick me, pick me, pick me!
06:00You're it, Hal!
06:02Yes! Yay, me!
06:04Ready, oh, captain, my captain.
06:07Then try to get that seed, squirrel Hal!
06:13That's slippery!
06:14Hold on!
06:17Whoops, sorry.
06:19No worries.
06:20Looks like that squirrel won't get to the bird feeder now.
06:24Nature chat for Nature Cat. Nature chat for Nature Cat.
06:27Oh, hello again, Nature Cat.
06:29I see you've moved the feeder.
06:31My mission, and I will accept it, is to get those seeds!
06:36Toodaloo!
06:38Oh, there's that music again!
06:41And there's Cruiser!
06:45I'm not concerned in the least!
06:54There's no way up that pole!
06:56Uh-oh, he's not giving up!
06:58Relax, he won't be able to do it!
07:01You give up yet, Cruiser!
07:02What say you?
07:03Never!
07:04We squirrels are problem solvers!
07:05Hmm!
07:06Oh!
07:07Oh!
07:08Oh!
07:09Oh!
07:10Oh!
07:11Oh!
07:12Oh!
07:13Oh!
07:14Oh!
07:15Oh, oh, oh!
07:16Okay!
07:17Oh.
07:18Oh.
07:19No way!
07:20I think he's going to try to jump!
07:21Man, oh man!
07:24That's one long jump!
07:25Too long!
07:26He can't get to the feeder!
07:27You underestimate our squirrels!
07:29Squirrel power!
07:30Weee!
07:31Oh, I can't look!
07:33Whoa!
07:34Sweet jump!
07:36It's almost like that squirrel's flying!
07:38Oh, I'm so jealous!
07:40Nailed it!
07:42No!
07:44He made it! Yay!
07:46I mean, boo!
07:48I just don't understand.
07:50Looks like squirrels can jump pretty far.
07:52A toast to you, Nature Cat! Thanks for the grub!
07:58How are we ever going to outsmart that squirrel?
08:02Hmm...
08:04Hey, I got it!
08:06This should do the trick!
08:11It sure should, Daisy! Amazing work!
08:14The feeder is high up off the ground,
08:16no pole to climb, and nowhere near any tree!
08:20This ought to stop that squirrel!
08:22Only one way to find out!
08:24Release the squirrel's standin'!
08:26Ooh, let me at that feeder!
08:28Hyee!
08:30Whoops!
08:32Whoops! Sorry again.
08:34No worries, Hal!
08:36Because there is no way on Earth for Cruiser to get to that feeder!
08:40And now we can finally bird watch with not a care in the world!
08:45Nature chat for Nature Cat! Nature chat for Nature Cat!
08:48Ooh, interesting set up, Nature Cat!
08:52New mission!
08:54I will get that bird seed!
08:58Toodaloo!
08:59Heee!
09:00Heee!
09:03There is no way he is getting to that feeder!
09:15He didn't make it! No way!
09:17We are victorious!
09:19Uh, Nature Cat!
09:20I think you celebrated too soon!
09:21Whoa!
09:22I didn't even know squirrels could swim!
09:24Hmm!
09:25What's he going to do?
09:26Man, oh man!
09:27Looks like he's walking on the wire!
09:28Can he do that?
09:29Yeah, he can do that!
09:30Really, really, really well!
09:31Wow!
09:32Squirrels have incredible balance!
09:33What?
09:34Uses his tail to help him balance!
09:35Incredible!
09:37No!
09:38Oh-ho-ho-ho!
09:39We can't-
09:40We can't-
09:41No!
09:42No!

09:45No!
09:46No!
09:47No!
09:49No!
09:50No!
09:51No!
09:52There's no way you can do!
09:53No!
09:54No!
09:55No!
09:58incredible
10:05We can never beat him. He's too fast and strong and can jump and has amazing balance
10:12We get up and we try something else
10:16Hey guys, we could use this stuff to make a new feeder this stuff
10:27Great work team. This should do it
10:44Enough with this I nature cat will defend the feeder
10:49Thank goodness, I know squirrel squirrels are no good bird seed thieves who care only about themselves

11:25I never knew squirrels could be so amazing
11:29Why thank you? You're not so bad yourself nature cat
11:34Hey now is it bird watching time. I have another idea for today

13:33Yeah!
13:34Where are you going in such a hurry, little cutie?
13:36I'm leaving this pond!
13:38For good!
13:39Why on earth would you want to leave your beautiful home at the pond?
13:43Home?
13:44Home?
13:45This place?
13:46Oh, no!
13:47You are a mistaken!
13:48This is not my home!
13:49Hello, darling!
13:50Hi, sis!
13:51Hi, sis!
13:52Okay, it's my home.
13:53Okay, it's my home.
13:54But I want to leave because this place is so... boring!
14:00Timber!
14:02Boring?
14:03Au contraire, little duckling!
14:04This place is filled with excitement!
14:05Yeah!
14:06It's like a wonderful little neighborhood!
14:07Woo!
14:08Okay, so it's not so boring!
14:09Um...
14:10What is it, little duckling?
14:11Why do you want to leave?
14:12Well, the truth is... I'm... I'm... scared.
14:17Scared?
14:18Scared of what?
14:19Well... I'm scared of... water.
14:21There!
14:22I said it!
14:23Scared of water!
14:25I said it!
14:26Scared of water!
14:27I'm scared!
14:30I'm scared of water!
14:31Okay!
14:32I'm scared of water!
14:33I'm scared of water!
14:35You got to be scared of water!
14:37I said it!
14:38Water!
14:39There!
14:40I said it!
14:41Scared of water!
14:42Scared, scared, scared!
14:43A duck who's scared of water?
14:46What?
14:47I know, right?
14:48So, I want to live somewhere else.
14:50Preferably way away from the pod.
14:53So I'm out of here!
14:54See ya!
14:55You guys, we gotta do something!
14:57Yeah!
14:58We can't let the little duckling run away!
15:00The duckling can't leave her home!
15:03No way!
15:04Uh, guys?
15:05She's leaving!
15:06Yes, yes, yes!
15:08Time to stop that duckling!
15:10Tally ho!
15:13Excuse me, little duck!
15:15Hey!
15:16You really should stay here with your family!
15:19No!
15:20But you're a duck!
15:21Ducks live in ponds!
15:22Not this duck!
15:24You know, little duck, speaking of...
15:26...water, tis true that I, Nature Cat, am scared of water, too.
15:32You are?
15:33Yep, I know!
15:35Hard to believe!
15:36A fearless, brave adventurer such as myself being scared!
15:41But it's a cat thing!
15:42Maybe we could both overcome our fear of water together!
15:46Oh, yeah!
15:47And we'll all help!
15:49Oh!
15:50Well...
15:51Um...
15:52I would really miss my family!
15:54And this pond!
15:55So what do you say, duck?
15:57I say...
15:58Okay!
15:59I'll stay!
16:00Hurray!
16:01Will you really help me?
16:04But of course!
16:05Onward and pondward!
16:07Water!
16:08Why'd it have to be water?
16:09Water!
16:10Why'd it have to be water?
16:11Come on, guys!
16:12You can do this!
16:13A boat!
16:14Yes, yes!
16:15This will be a good first step to get us out into the water to do a little pond exploration!
16:29The mouse is in!
16:30Oh, sweet boat!
16:31Yippee!
16:32Nature Cat!
16:33Come on!
16:34It's a boat!
16:35Let's go!
16:36Um, right!
16:37Of course!
16:38Getting in...the boat!
16:39Yes!
16:40Getting in...the boat!
16:41Yes!
16:42Getting...in the boat!
16:43Here we go!
16:44Yeah!
16:45Here we go!
16:46Yeah!
16:47Here we go!
16:48You know, on second time!
16:49And away we go!
16:50All right!
16:51See?
16:52This is fine!
16:53Watch the paddle, Hal!
16:54Yeah!
16:55Don't splash any water, Fer!
16:57Oh!
16:58Oh!
16:59Oh!
17:00Oh!
17:01Oh!
17:02Oh!
17:03Oh!
17:04Oh!
17:05Oh!
17:06Oh!
17:07Oh!
17:08There's a bird!
17:09Wow!
17:10It's kinda nice out here!
17:12Yes!
17:13It's not so bad, is it?
17:15Hey, look!
17:16Snails!
17:17Gotta get a pic of these guys too!
17:19And frogs!
17:22Man, they have a lot of food to choose from here!
17:33Mm-mm-mm-mm!
17:34Hey, look, a floating rock!
17:41Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we gone a floating rock.
17:45Oops, sorry, a floating talking rock.
17:50Wow-wee!
17:52There's so many other animals that live out here on this pod.
17:56Just like your family.
17:58Hello, Mother Dunkling!
18:00Hmm, I guess this pond isn't as scary as I thought.
18:04Are you ready to come swim in this yet?
18:06Yeah, come on, we're learning to dive under now.
18:11Under the water?
18:13Yikes! You gotta be crazy to do that!
18:17Woo-hoo!
18:19Cannonball!
18:24I'm wet, I'm wet, I'm wet!
18:26Which is, you know, completely fine.
18:31Whoa!
18:31Guys, you gotta see what's going on under here!
18:35It's pond-tastic!
18:37Wait, does that even work?
18:39Count the mouse in!
18:42Oh, yeah, baby!
18:44What?
18:46What's going on under there?
18:48What am I missing?
18:49It seems like there's more to explore under the water.
18:52Oh, I wish I could see under there without going in the water.
18:57I like where you're going with this thought, little duckling.
19:00Hmm, but how?
19:02If only there was a way to see down there without actually going in!
19:07Aha!
19:08My underwater viewer!
19:09But of course!
19:11Tally-ho!
19:12Whoa!
19:17Whoa!
19:20Hi, Tadpole!
19:21It's me, Hal!
19:22I see you're starting to get your little leggies and turn into a little froggy!
19:26I see you playing hide-and-seeking those weeds, you sneaky little minnow!
19:37Whoa!
19:38Look at everything down there!
19:41Whoa-ho-ho!
19:42There's so much going on under the surface of a pond!
19:46Minnow Man!
19:47I gotta check this out!
19:48I know!
19:49A diving beetle!
19:54Sweet!
19:55Oh, look at him swim with those big back legs!
20:00The pond is so amazing!
20:03So many new friends to meet down there!
20:05But I...
20:06I...
20:07I just...
20:08You're still scared, huh?
20:10Yes!
20:11I can't swim!
20:13I've never even tried!
20:14But you are a duck!
20:16I bet if you try, you'll just know how to swim!
20:21Ducks belong in water!
20:23I know!
20:24I'm just too afraid to go in!
20:26I'll tell you what, and I can't believe I'm saying this, what if I go in with you?
20:32You do that?
20:34For me?
20:35But you don't even like water!
20:37But I do like you!
20:40Come on, let's do it before I change my mind!
20:42On the count of three...
20:45One, two, three!
20:47Wow!
20:49Oh!
20:50No, no, no, no!
20:51Oh, this was a bad idea!
20:53I'm immediately regretting this!
20:55Oh, but witnesses everywhere!
20:56Anywhere!
20:57Why does water have to be so wet?
21:00Nature Cat!
21:01Nature Cat!
21:02Look at me!
21:04Hey!
21:04You're swimming!
21:05I'm swimming!
21:07Ha-ha!
21:08You were right!
21:09As soon as I hit the water, my duck instinct kicks in, and I just knew how to swim!
21:15Ha-ha!
21:16Isn't nature just amazing?
21:18Oh, yeah!
21:19We did it!
21:20Wow, you're good at that!
21:21It's like you're a real duck!
21:23Wow, you're natural.
21:24So now dive under with us!
21:27Yeah, you're gonna love it underwater!
21:29Come on, let's go!
21:30Ha-ha!
21:34What do you think I should do, Nature Cat?
21:37Give it a try!
21:39You could just go under for a second, you know, see if you like it!
21:42Okay, just for a second.
21:44Here I go!
21:47You can do it!
21:48You can do it, little duckling!
21:52Woo-hoo!
21:53This pot is incredible!
21:55Oh, now that's what I like to see!
22:09Oh, now that's what I like to see!
22:23The little duckling underwater!
22:26And me, not!
22:31Nature Cat, thank you!
22:33I wouldn't have gone in without you!
22:36You're my hero!
22:39Aw!
22:40That makes me getting soaked so worth it!
22:44I love this pond!
22:46It's got everything I need!
22:47Food, shelter, fun!
22:50And now for more underwater exploration!
22:53Onward and pondward!
22:56Creep!
22:57Hal was right!
23:01Ponds truly are pond-tastic!
23:03What I said!
23:10Woo-hoo!
23:12Woo-hoo!
23:13Woo-hoo!
