He asks her to get some solid cat food to see if the kitten is strong enough to eat any. As she makes her way to the store downtown, she runs into Elmo, then Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus, informing them about getting food for the kitten. The three think they can help bring food too and dash off.

Maria returns as the three argue over whose food is better. She tells them that kittens need kitten food, not what they've brought.

SCENE 4 Big Bird asks why Luis keeps calling the kitten "gatita." Luis explains the Spanish translation, then finds "Gatita" makes a fine name for the kitten.

Elmo announces the sponsors.
