"Getting spayed was more fun than this!"
This short has a little girl going through her morning routine and comparing it to the way her cat grooms herself. They eventually go to school for a class pet show, where the cat wins first prize because her impressive feat of...being a cat...named Kitty.
I'm not entirely certain as to what the purpose of this short is. This is either trying to teach children about their own grooming method or to teach them about why their cat licks itself. It's not too thorough on either point, so I can't make sure I learned much about either. We've certainly seen more interesting grooming shorts than this.
But have we seen funnier? Honestly, yes. The riffing of Kitty Cleans Up is a bit workmanlike, though it's never boring. I don't think there are any real big laughs from the trio here, though there is an occasional jab that gets a genuine chuckle. There are lots of cat jokes, and they like to give the title kitty a very condescending and aggressive personality. There are also some funny jokes at the expense of the short's bad lip sync. Jokes land enough to make this one worth watching, though not enough to make it something to rush to see.
Thumbs Up
