0:00:11 > 0:00:12I love chickens.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13CLUCKS
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And the chicks! Awh, they're so cute.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17They are. I love them, too.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Some animals make brilliant pets and pets are great.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23We really like meeting you and your pets.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27There are a few things that pets need like care, exercise
0:00:27 > 0:00:28and playtime - my favourite.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30What fun things are you up to?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32I'm going to have fun, indeed.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22# my pet and me? #
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Today, I've come to Inverness to meet Aarini and her pet.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Let's go and meet them now, shall we?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35In fact, I think that's her waving at the window, now.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Hello, Aarini.- Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- I come to meet your pet today. - Please come.- Brilliant.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43AARINI GIGGLES
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Aarini, who is this?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Sparkles.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, is that a boys name...?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- No.- No, this is a girl.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Now, how old is she?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58One year.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00One year? She's just over one-year-old?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Now, have you had her since she was a little kitten?- Yeah.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Now, where did you get her from?- SSPCA.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Wow, so you got her from a rescue centre?- Yeah.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15And, I heard that you gave her a wee present when you got her.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Yeah, it was my blanket from when I was little.- That's lovely.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22That's very sweet of you. What a nice present.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Does she like to go on adventures at night-time outside?
0:02:25 > 0:02:31- Yeah. Mostly in the night and in the day she sleeps.- OK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I bet she also, after a big adventure, likes to come home
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- and make herself nice and clean.- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Cats have rough tongues to take dirt
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and loose hair out of their coats and they do it
0:02:42 > 0:02:45to put their own smell back on to their coat
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and get rid of other smells.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Cats are interesting for all sorts of reasons.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Ferne, can you give us some fun facts about our furry friend?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yes, of course, Rory.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Baby cats are called kittens.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02These little ones are just five weeks old.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Cats are brilliant at climbing and balancing.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11They use their long tails to help them to balance.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Most cats have excellent eyesight.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20They see much better in the dark than we can.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Cats have very good hearing.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30They can turn their ears towards a sound to hear it better.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41CAT MEOWS
0:03:41 > 0:03:43So is it playtime with Sparkles yet?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46No. We have to do some jobs for her.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Shall we let her out first?- Yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Wow! What a leap. Well done, Sparkles!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Aarini, what work do we need to do?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We have to clean Sparkles' litter tray.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04OK, let's go for it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Can you show me what to do?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10'The litter tray is a special box where Sparkles goes to the toilet.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14'So we should definitely wear gloves to keep our hands clean.'
0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK, Aarini.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What do we need to do now?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Take this outside.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25You come round here.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Come out and join me. You can help me.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And show me exactly what to do.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- First, we need to open up the bag.- OK.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Someone has to hold it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I'll hold it. How about that? And what do you need to get?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- A special scoop to scoop the yucky poo!- Of course.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Right, you scoop up.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Scoop the poop. - Scoop the poop. That's it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Thank you.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50And another one. Very well done.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Now, who is going to deal with this?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Mum.- Mum does it?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Shall we call her?- Yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58- Mummy?- Mum?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Hi, Mum.- Hello.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- You get all the good jobs, don't you?- Absolutely.- Enjoy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10CAT MEOWS
0:05:10 > 0:05:13When feeding your cat, it's important to make sure
0:05:13 > 0:05:15they get a variety of foods,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18because cats wouldn't make good vegetarians.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20They're actually carnivores.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Aarini, do you know what a carnivore is?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26It's something that eats meat.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29That's right. Something that eats meat.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Do we have some meat here?- Yes. - Think we do. What's this?
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- It's soft food. - Yeah, soft food for Sparkles.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Let's rip this open, shall we?- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And you can squeeze it into the bowl.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Let me just do that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Can you squidge that in for me?- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Put that in this bowl, there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Sometimes we... - Very good. I'll help you.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Sometimes we leave some for later,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56because she doesn't normally eat all of it.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- OK, let's leave a little bit in there, shall we?- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01OK, put that down.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03We've also got some dry food
0:06:03 > 0:06:05and we've got this bowl here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07What's this bowl for?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08- Water.- Water. Of course.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's important they've got wet food, dry food and water.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I'll tell you what, I'll go and fill up the water
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- and you can fill up the dry food. - Yeah.- Where's the dry food?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Oh, here we are.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Right, let's do it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I'll fill the dry food.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh, lots of food.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh, lucky Sparkles.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42This is a lovely wee cuddle we're having here, isn't it?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- I think she's liking this.- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh! Over there, OK.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Cuddle time with your pets is so important.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Don't you love cuddling Sparkles, Aarini?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yeah, she likes it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Especially when she's sleeping,
0:06:58 > 0:07:03because she lets us give her a wee stroke under her.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07She lifts her head up so we can give her a wee tickle.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Oh, just like you are now?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Yeah.- A wee stroke under the chin?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- OK, that side.- Oh, that's lovely. - She wants it everywhere.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17She's commanding me to do it at different spots.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- RORY LAUGHS - She's in charge, isn't she?- Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Mrs Sparkles we should call her, shouldn't we?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Yeah. Commanding.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26THEY LAUGH
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Cuddle time is going well, and it's nice,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32but I think it's time we went downstairs with Sparkles
0:07:32 > 0:07:33and had a bit of playtime.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- What do you think?- Yeah! - Shall we play with Sparkles?- Yeah!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Great at making loads of bubbles. Thank goodness.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Bubbles!- Oh, my goodness.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Follow the bubbles.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Sparkles?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Oh, good popping.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Good. That's it, Sparkles.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17There's a wee treat for you, Sparkles.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19You've played very hard.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21You must be exhausted.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, let's get home, then.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Come on.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Sparkles?- Sparkles?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Shh! Sparkles is sleeping.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Oh, shh. She looks very, very peaceful there, doesn't she?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I think I need a rest, too.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43She looks so peaceful,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think you should draw a wee picture of her.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47- What do you think?- Yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Yeah, OK.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51You come over here and I'll get this table.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Right, let's get your pens and pencils up here.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02If Sparkles could do anything,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04do a job, like a human,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06what do you think she would do, Aarini?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Maybe she would...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Mmm... - DRUMROLL
0:09:11 > 0:09:15If my pet had a job, Sparkles would worked in a hospital,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17where it was icy.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20And she would skate to different rooms,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23so she can check everything is going right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25She would turn into a groundhog
0:09:25 > 0:09:30and go under the ice to make sure all the patients are fine.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Aarini, that picture is fantastic.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I think that Ferne is going to absolutely love it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42- Yeah.- Yeah, I think so.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Now, Sparkles has been really well behaved today, hasn't she?- Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I'd like to go to the shop with you and get her a present.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51What do you say?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Yeah, that's a good idea, since she's been so good.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yeah, let's go. Come on!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Aarini is a great friend to Sparkles.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05They love to play together and she looks after her really well.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08We've come to the pet shop to get a present for Sparkles.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'm going to catch up with Aarini now.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Oh, OK.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23What sort of present should we get for Sparkles, Aarini?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24I don't know.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27How about...
0:10:27 > 0:10:28..a wee bowl?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Sparkles has already got three bowls.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Oh, OK. Not a bowl, then.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Oh! A wee tweety mouse?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37No, Sparkles has got a white mouse.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41OK. Oh! I know. A new collar?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Yeah, she would look lovely in one of those.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The noise from the bell on this collar
0:10:47 > 0:10:50will also help to warn birds that a cat is nearby.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52What a beautiful collar!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I think we should get that for Sparkles.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56She would love it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58That one is perfect, Aarini.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Oh, a pink sparkly collar. And it matches your cardigan.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03That's brilliant!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It's important to make sure your cat's wearing a collar,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10because a collar allows you to tell your cat apart from others.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It also means that if your cat gets lost,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and there's a name tag on it, your cat can be found again.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Remember, if your cat is wearing a collar,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22change the size of it as the size of your cat changes as well.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Shall we go and buy that collar now?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- Yeah.- Let's take it!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36OK, there! That looks wonderful.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Sparkles, I bet you're looking forward
0:11:38 > 0:11:41to going out and showing that off.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Be the best cat in the world.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45You are indeed. What a lovely, good, wee cat.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And everyone's not going to be just like you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51You're the prettiest cat in all of the town.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Oh, I agree.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Thank you for a purr-fect day, Aarini.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I've had a wonderful time meeting Sparkles.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It's been kind of you to introduce me.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01You're welcome.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- ALL:- My pet and me!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Hello, Ferne!- Hi, Rory!
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- Hi, guys.- How was your day?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It was amazing.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Wait till I tell you about it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Today, I met Aarini and her cat, Sparkles.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24We cleaned out Sparkles' litter tray,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26stroked her soft fur
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and played with bubbles, too.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Then we got her a lovely new pink collar with a bell on it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34That sounds wonderful and you made some great friends!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yeah, pets are great.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Remember, before you touch any animal,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40make sure it's OK with the owner.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43That's right, but one pet you can play with is ours.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Go onto the CBeebies website
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and play the My Pet and Me game. It's amazing!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50We've had a fantastic day.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52We love meeting you and your pets.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58# Today we met

0:13:20 > 0:13:22# what pet you've got
0:13:22 > 0:13:23# You might have one
0:13:23 > 0:13:25# You might not
0:13:25 > 0:13:27# It's still fun finding out
0:13:27 > 0:13:31# what having a pet is all about
0:13:31 > 0:13:34# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:34 > 0:13:37# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:37 > 0:13:39# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:39 > 0:13:40# Come back and see
