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...
00:18Nature Cat!
00:20Backyard explorer extraordinaire!
00:24Tally-ho!
00:26Tally-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!
00:34Nature Cat!
00:35Nature Cat!
00:35Nature Cat!
00:36Nature Cat!
00:37Nature Cat!
00:38So what are we waiting for?
00:40We're so excited to explore
00:42all that nature has in store.
00:44With Nature Cat!
00:45Go, go!
00:45Tally-ho!
00:46Go, go, go!
00:47Tally-ho!
00:48We'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.
00:58With Nature Cat!
01:00Tally-ho!
01:02Tally-ho!
01:06Tally-ho!
01:10Tally-ho!
01:26Tally-ho!
01:30Tally-ho!
01:54Tally-ho!
01:56And I know exactly what our Wild West adventure is gonna be.
02:01What?
02:02Today, we're gonna look for something really wild.
02:06Wild horses?
02:07Wild buffalo?
02:08Wild unicorns?
02:10Nope, none of those wild things.
02:13Today, we're looking for wild flowers!
02:17Daisy, how can flowers be wild as a flower?
02:21How can flowers be wild?
02:23Man, oh man, wild flowers can grow without anyone even planting them!
02:29No!
02:30Oh, yeah!
02:31And those flowers can grow almost anywhere!
02:34That's what makes them so wild!
02:36Now let's go on a wild flower round-up!
02:39Yee-haw!
02:41Yee-haw!
02:42So what wild flowers are we looking for today, Wild Daisy Knick-Knock?
02:47We're gonna round up three of the wildest wild flowers this side of the Mississippi!
02:51Okay, actually both sides!
02:54And the first wild flower is this here, Buttercup!
02:58Oh, Buttercups!
02:58Well, if there's Buttercups then Cheese Cups can't be too far away, right?
03:02Where's the Cheese Cups, Chase?
03:04Cheese!
03:05Nope!
03:05We're rounding up the Buttercup!
03:07Ooh, look at the five shiny yellow petals!
03:11Like a Sheriff's badge!
03:12Yep!
03:14Those five shiny yellow petals will help us know if we've got the right flower!
03:18Now come on, cowpokes!
03:20Time to find us some wild flowers!
03:23Yee-haw!
03:24Yee-haw!
03:26Yee-haw!
03:27Where to, Wild Daisy?
03:29Well, says here that you can find Buttercups in the meadows!
03:32Okay, then!
03:33Wagon train ho!
03:36Yee-haw!
03:38Yee-haw!
03:41Yee-haw!
03:43Anybody see a Buttercup yet?
03:46Not yet, Buckaroo, but keep your eyes peeled!
03:48That Buttercup could be anywhere!
03:51Ooh!
03:51I see a yellow flower over yonder!
03:54Yee-haw!
03:57Is it a Buttercup?
03:58All right, well, let's see here.
04:00This flower has five yellow petals.
04:02Man, oh, man.
04:03It's not a Buttercup.
04:05Look!
04:05The leaves are different!
04:07Aww!
04:08We've searched this entire meadow, Wild Daisy,
04:11and there's nary a Buttercup to be found, I reckon.
04:15Well, it says here that Buttercups can be found almost anywhere!
04:19Huh.
04:20You know, the other day I think I saw some yellow flowers growing out of the sidewalk.
04:23The sidewalk?
04:25That's impossible, Squeaks!
04:27Flowers can't grow out of the sidewalk!
04:30No!
04:30It's true!
04:31I'll show you!
04:34Behold!
04:35The yellow flower's growing out of the sidewalk!
04:38How do they do that?
04:40Well, I reckon there's enough dirt in that crack for the seed to take root.
04:45Now, let's see if this here flower is a Buttercup.
04:48Let's see.
04:49It has five shiny yellow petals, and the leaves look just like the ones that I saw.
04:53The flowers in the picture!
04:54Boy, howdy!
04:56These here are Buttercups!
04:58Yee-haw!
05:00Yee-haw!
05:01Yee-haw!
05:01What are we waiting for?
05:03Let's pick them!
05:04Whoa!
05:05Hold it right there, Bushwhacker!
05:07Don't you mean Flower Whacker?
05:09Yeah, that too.
05:10What's wrong, Daisy?
05:11We don't pick wildflowers!
05:13Daisy, why not?
05:15Because a flower is the part of the plant that makes it possible for another plant to grow
05:19next year!
05:20The flowers make seeds!
05:22So if we pick this Buttercup, there may not be any Buttercups here next year!
05:27Well, if we're not going to pick the wildflowers, then how are we going to get the wildflowers?
05:31We're going to do what all good cowpokes do!
05:37We're going to draw!
05:41All right, Nature Cat Kid, give me a ready, set, draw!
05:45Ready!
05:47Set!
05:49Draw!
05:51Wow!
05:53How'd you do that so fast?
05:55Wild Daisy Knick-Knack is the fastest draw in the West!
05:59Yee-haw!
06:00Yee-haw!
06:02Yee-haw!
06:02Now it's time for the next flower in our roundup!
06:05The Blue Violet!
06:07Ooh, look!
06:08The Blue Violet has five blue petals!
06:11Aw, and the leaves are heart-shaped!
06:13Aw, I love you, Blue Violet!
06:15Says here that Blue Violets can be found in damp places, maybe near a river or lake!
06:20So let's mosey on over to the river!
06:23Yee-haw!
06:24Yee-haw!
06:30We haven't seen a Blue Violet anywhere!
06:33This is hard!
06:36Hurston!
06:37If you like wildflowers so much, why don't you just grow them in your own garden?
06:41I tried!
06:42But those horn-swaggling flowers wouldn't grow where I wanted them to grow!
06:46It seems you just can't tame them!
06:48Those wildflowers were born to be wild!
06:51Aw, this is hopeless!
06:53We'll never find the Blue Violet!
06:55Balderdash!
06:56Cowpokes never give up!
06:58They check their phones for more clues instead!
07:00Says here orange fritillary butterflies deposit their eggs on Blue Violets!
07:04So if we want to find the Blue Violet, we just need to follow an orange butterfly that has black
07:09spots!
07:10Okay, fellow cowpokes!
07:12Keep those eyes peeled and stay focused!
07:16Focus!
07:17Focus!
07:18Tiddly dee!
07:19Tiddly dee!
07:20Tiddly dee!
07:39Tiddly dee!
07:42Joe, birdies!
07:52D'Now I got it!
08:05The Blue Violet has got its hopes to fly a horse andヒ 똑!
08:09I thought to open probable Inform 허�zenie is going to be fine with flying!
08:10I'll find it.
08:10Yeah!
08:10It has five petals on the flower, and its leaves are shaped like cute hearts.
08:15We found the Blue Violet! Yee-haw!
08:18Yee-haw!
08:20Now let's add this Blue Violet to the Roundup!
08:23Ready, set, drive!
08:27Well, you really are the fastest draw in the West, Wild Daisy!
08:31Why, thank you!
08:33Now it's time to find the final flower of the Wildflower Roundup!
08:37The Pink Lady Slipper!
08:43I got one of those!
08:46Uh, we're talking about the single flower, buddy.
08:50But it's kind of shaped like a slipper!
08:52Hey, maybe good to chew on too!
08:54No, no! Hell, no chewing on these!
08:57Cause these wildflowers are really hard to find!
09:00So where do we look for the Pink Lady Slipper, Wild Daisy?
09:03Says here they grow in shady places, like pine forests!
09:08Well, then let's get to the pine forest and find that Pink Lady Slipper!
09:12On Wild and Pink Lady Slipper Wild!
09:17How could a flower grow where it's so shady? Don't they need the sun?
09:21Hmm, well I reckon it does well with less sunlight.
09:24But you sure wouldn't expect to find a wild flower here!
09:28Maybe that's why I've never seen one before!
09:35Oh, what's wrong, Cowpoke?
09:37There's something wild wrestling in the shadows!
09:42Maybe it's a wild bear!
09:44Or a wild bear!
09:46Or a wild snake!
09:50Oh, hello, Nature Cat!
09:53Hello, Ronald!
09:55Wait!
09:56Ronald!
09:56What are you doing here?
09:58Not that it's any of your business!
10:00But I'm here to pick all of the Pink Lady Slippers!
10:03I love them because they are so rare!
10:06Toodles to the oodles!
10:08Bye!
10:08No! Wait! Ronald!
10:10Looks like Ronald's a flower rustler!
10:12Hurry, Cowpokes!
10:14We need to find that Pink Lady Slipper before Ronald does!
10:16Quick! Look for anything Pink!
10:21Yep, here's a Pink Flower!
10:25But it looks like a bell, not a Slipper!
10:33Found it!
10:34The Pink Lady Slipper!
10:37It's so beautiful!
10:39That's why I have to pick it!
10:42Hold it right there, partner!
10:43Don't you pick that flower!
10:44And why not, Daisy?
10:47Because if we pick this one, we keep it from producing next year's Pink Lady Slippers!
10:52And then there'd be no Pink Lady Slipper here!
10:55Well, then I better pick this one quick, while I still have the chance!
10:59All right, Ronald!
11:00If you want this here flower, you'll have to draw for it!
11:03Draw for it?
11:04The first one to draw the flower wins!
11:07If I win, I pick the flower!
11:09Yep!
11:09But if I win, you don't!
11:11What do you say, Ronald?
11:13Are you up for the challenge?
11:15I say...
11:17Unless...
11:17A draw!
11:19Ready...
11:21Set...
11:22Draw!
11:27How did you do that?
11:29I'm Wild Daisy Knick-Knack!
11:31And I'm the fastest draw in the West!
11:34Wild Daisy is the winner!
11:36And the wild flowers are saved!
11:39Yee-haw!
11:40Yee-haw!
11:42I wanted that flower so badly!
11:45It's so beautiful!
11:46Here's something that will last much longer than the flower itself!
11:51My first piece of art!
11:53I love it!
11:54I can't wait to hang it in my room!
11:56Thanks, Daisy!
11:58All right, cowpokes!
11:59The Wildflower Roundup is done!
12:02Now it's time for us to mosey off into the sunset, like all good cowpokes do!
12:08Yee-haw!
12:11A party for Squeaks!
12:19This is going to be incredible!
12:21I can't wait to see how it turns out!
12:24Woo-hoo for winter, baby!
12:29May I introduce Mr. Gerald Mudman?
12:34He fits right in with the rest of our snow creatures!
12:37Here's Clark the bunny!
12:39Hi, I'm Clark.
12:40This is Ellen the Toad.
12:41Say hi, Ellen.
12:42Hello!
12:43Hello!
12:44And Eddie the Majestic Snow Eagle!
12:47Eagle!
12:47Eagle!
12:48Hello!
12:50Hello!
12:52Hey, what's wrong, Squeaks?
12:54Why don't you join us?
12:56There's still plenty of snow to play with!
12:58That's the problem!
12:59We've made every snow fort, snow creature, and snow angel possible!
13:04It's been winter forever, and I'm, I'm, I'm sick of winter!
13:10Sick of winter?
13:12But it's one of the four greatest seasons!
13:16Oh, hell.
13:16I love playing outside with you guys, but I, I also miss all my other friends who've been
13:21gone all winter!
13:22Where are the chipmunks?
13:23Where are the Orioles?
13:24The geese?
13:25Even Edna the Eagle headed to the coast where it's easier to find food!
13:29Aw, Squeaks!
13:30I'm so sorry you're sad!
13:32Perhaps a snow ball would cheer you up?
13:34No thank you, Hal.
13:35I think I'll just have to be alone for a little while.
13:38Let's huddle up!
13:38Uh, I've never seen Squeaks like this!
13:41Me neither, either, neither, never!
13:44I think Squeaks has the winter blues!
13:47Of course!
13:49The winter blues!
13:51What are the winter blues?
13:53Is that like jazz?
13:54Cause I don't get jazz, like at all.
13:56No, Hal.
13:57Granny Bunny told me that the short days, cold weather, and bare brown trees can sometimes
14:01make you feel sad or less energetic in the winter.
14:05Oh, Squeaks!
14:06What can we do to help?
14:07I know what to do!
14:09Why don't we just ask the sun to shine longer each day?
14:13Excuse me, sun?
14:14Hi!
14:15Yeah, down here, it's me, Hal.
14:17Actually, the sun has already been shining a little longer each day since the winter solstice,
14:22the shortest day of the year.
14:24Oh, okay, never mind, as you were, sun.
14:26Wait, Squeaks is sick of winter, right?
14:29But look, winter is on its way out, right?
14:32So let's throw Squeaks an end-of-winter party to remind her of all the things she loves about winter,
14:37right?
14:38That's a great idea, Nature Cat!
14:41Let's go plan a party for Squeaks, right?
14:44For Squeaks!
14:51Uh, guys, where are we going?
14:54I thought you were leading us to find some party guests, right?
14:58Well, I thought you were leading us.
14:59I thought I was leading us.
15:01So, do any of us know where to find some friends to come to the party?
15:05I know what to do!
15:07Let's see.
15:07I have binoculars, a bird collar, this thing that will pick up sound for miles.
15:13Ooh!
15:13Maybe we could follow these tracks.
15:15They're sure to lead to something.
15:17Or someone.
15:20Um, sure.
15:21I suppose that works, too.
15:26Hi, guys!
15:28Ruthie!
15:28Hi, Ruthie!
15:30It's me, Hallie!
15:31How y'all doing?
15:33How y'all doing?
15:33Hey, where's Squeaks?
15:35I'll miss that mouse.
15:37That's why we're here.
15:38Squeaks has the winter blues.
15:40So we're trying to cheer her up with a party.
15:43Well, she won't have the winter blues for long.
15:45Spring will be here soon enough.
15:46Oh, you should show her this.
15:48Those are beautiful, Ruthie.
15:50Do you think you could bring some to the party?
15:52Oh, you betcha.
15:53Ooh, one more thing.
15:54Is Edna the Eagle back from the coast yet?
15:57I know Squeaks would love to see her, too.
15:59Nope.
16:00Haven't seen her.
16:01But I'll see you later.
16:03All right!
16:04We've got one guest.
16:05But we're gonna need to find a lot more if this party's gonna cheer up Squeaks.
16:09Let's see who else we can find.
16:11Have no fear.
16:13I have the tools.
16:15Ooh, more tracks.
16:16Let's follow them.
16:18Oh, right.
16:19The tracks.
16:19That worked last time.
16:20Onward and yonward.
16:29Hey, where do the tracks go?
16:31Well, that's strange.
16:32They disappeared down this hole.
16:34Hello.
16:35Is anyone in here?
16:37Howdy, Nature Cat.
16:38It's great to see you.
16:40Hi, Marvin.
16:41It's me, Halvin.
16:43Well, howdy, Hal.
16:44Hey, where's Cousin Squeaks?
16:46Doesn't she usually hang out with y'all?
16:48Oh, yeah, but Squeaks has the winter blues, so we're planning a party for her.
16:53Well, golly, that's a good idea.
16:55It has been a long winter and we could all use a party.
16:59Who's we, Cousin Marvin?
17:08Man, oh, man.
17:10You've been here all winter?
17:11We didn't even see you.
17:13We sure have, Daisy.
17:14We might come out a little less to save our energy, but, you know, we've been here.
17:18You just have to look a little bit harder to find us.
17:22Spectacular!
17:22So you can all come to our party?
17:24Well, now the winter's almost over.
17:26We sure can.
17:28Anything for Cousin Squeaks.
17:30Aha!
17:35Oh, winter, why?
17:38Why?
17:39It's cold and dark and gray.
17:42Everywhere you look is pine.
17:43It's all pine!
17:46It's all pine!
17:46When will it end?
17:51This party will be winterrific!
17:54Yeah, and if Edna the Eagle could come, that would definitely cheer up Squeaks.
18:00Could that be Edna?
18:04Maybe that's her nest.
18:06But isn't it too early for birds to build their nests?
18:09It's not spring yet.
18:10I don't know, but I'm the cat that's gonna find out.
18:15Upward and yelpward!
18:18Uh, that nest is pretty high, Nature Cat.
18:21Are you sure?
18:22We've got to try, Daisy!
18:24For squeaks!
18:26For squeaks!
18:30Well, that didn't work.
18:34Are you okay, Nature Cat?
18:36I'm going to climb your tree if it's the last thing I do!
18:40Tally!
18:42Wait!
18:44Ah, Daisy!
18:45We need to get up that tree to find Edna!
18:49Maybe there's an easier way.
18:51Oh, look!
18:52There's still some snow over there!
18:54Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
18:56I'm definitely thinking what you're thinking!
18:58Um, I don't think I'm thinking what you're thinking.
19:00At all.
19:01Cause I'm not thinking.
19:03At all.
19:04Hal, we can roll the snow near the tree and then use it as a step to get up to
19:08that branch!
19:09Oh, now that was some good thinking!
19:11I think.
19:13Edna!
19:14Here we come!
19:19Hey!
19:20You're not Edna!
19:21No!
19:21I'm Cleo!
19:22Who are you?
19:24Hi, Cleo!
19:25It's me, Halo!
19:27Sorry to barge in like this, Cleo.
19:29We thought you were Edna the Eagle!
19:30We were hoping to find her to cheer up our friend, Squeaks!
19:34Squeaks?
19:34I know Squeaks!
19:36Wait, why does she need cheering up?
19:38She has the winter blues.
19:40And she's got a bad man.
19:42Winter blues?
19:44She should remember there's lots of fun things to do at the end of winter to get ready for spring!
19:49I'm an early bird when it comes to nesting.
19:53I'm fixing up this place so I can lay my eggs soon!
19:55Aww!
19:57You should come to the party!
19:59Sure I will!
20:01Anything to cheer up good old Squeaks!
20:05Thanks, Cleo!
20:08Look, there's Squeaks!
20:10We have to set up the party before she gets back!
20:12Everyone hurry!
20:15Ugh!
20:16Mud!
20:17Why does it always have to be mud?
20:19Oh!
20:20Mud means the frozen ground is thawing!
20:23Come on!
20:24Let's go!
20:28Oh, Squeaks is going to love this!
20:31I just wish Edna could be here!
20:34Oh, that would cheer her up for sure!
20:36Cheer who up?
20:37Squeaks!
20:38What's all this?
20:39We're throwing you a par-tay!
20:42With lots of friends!
20:44Yeah, oh, cool!
20:46So, by friends, do you mean these creatures made of snow?
20:50You know they're not real, right?
20:57Woohoo!
20:57How are you doing?
20:59What's up, Mudder?
21:00Oh, Squeaks!
21:01It's so good to see you!
21:02Whoa!
21:03Where did all you guys come from?
21:06Your friends told us you had the winter blooms, so we wanted to cheer you up!
21:11Oh, this is fantastic!
21:17Woohoo!
21:18This party didn't get any better!
21:20Oh, yeah!
21:21Oh, yeah!
21:22Oh, yeah!
21:23Oh, yeah!
21:28Squeaks!
21:29I just got back from the coast and word in the forest is that you have the winter blues!
21:34I am a little sick of winter!
21:37Well, I think I know how to fix that!
21:40Hop on!
21:41Woohoo!
21:43Have fun, Squeaks!
21:45We'll just stay down here on the nigh-safe ground!
21:48Can't wait to hear about your trip!
21:50Whoa!
21:51I'm sliding!
21:55Whoa!
21:56Look how cool everything is from up here!
21:58Oh!
21:59The ice is breaking up!
22:00The pond looks so different from when it was frozen over!
22:04Oh!
22:04The ice patches make such a pretty pattern!
22:09Ah, my dearest winter!
22:12Twill be over soon, Ehwat!
22:14Looks like the robins are searching for some food!
22:17Hello, robins!
22:19Enjoy your lunch, okay?
22:21Oh, dear!
22:22Oh, dear?
22:23Oh, dear?
22:24Oh, dear?
22:24Why?
22:25What's happening?
22:25Are we falling?
22:26Nature Cat, no!
22:28Open your eyes and look at the deer down there!
22:31It's deer!
22:31D-E-E-R!
22:34Ah!
22:35That is very nice!
22:36It looks like there's a lot more going on this time of year than we thought!
22:40Yeah!
22:41The end of winter isn't so bad after all!
22:43That's more like it squeaks!
22:45Now let's go dance!
22:53Thank you for the ride, Edna!
22:55It was quite nice to feel the wind in my fur!
22:58This is the best party ever!
23:00You make all the seasons fun!
23:03Let's dance, baby!
23:05Woo-hoo!
23:07We'll go!
23:08Dancing the blues away!
23:11Hey, you're looking good!
23:16Nature Cat, Squeaks, Daisy, and Howl are cartoon characters and not real animals!
23:22To keep all of our animal friends safe, check with a grown-up before you bring a pet on your
23:27next nature adventure!
23:28No!
23:29Ah-ha!
23:30Ha-ha!
23:31Ha-ha!
23:31Ha-ha!
23:57Ha-ha!
23:58Ha-ha!
