0:01:17 > 0:01:21Today I'm in Huddersfield to meet Ethan and his friend Nevie.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24They are taking me to meet a very special cat.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Come on, let's go say hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Hi, Ferne.- Hi, Ferne.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Hi. You must be Ethan and you must be Nevie.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Yes.- Yes.- Lovely to meet you.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- And you must be Ethan's dad. - Hello, Ferne.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So, I hear that you have a very special cat to tell me about.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Yep.- But do we need to go somewhere first?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- BOTH:- No! - But we're in a train station.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I thought we'd have to get a train somewhere.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Felix the cat lives here where my daddy works.- OK.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- So, does that mean that your daddy is a stationmaster?- I am, yes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- That is very cool. - Come on, let's go find Felix.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Sounds great. Come on.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17TRAIN TOOTS
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So, this is Felix.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Yeah.- Wow!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Is Felix a girl or a boy? - A girl.- A girl.- She is beautiful.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So, why does this station have its very own cat?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35To help the station to be clean.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- What does she do to help the station be clean?- Chase mice and rats.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42That's a very important job.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44So what do you love about Felix?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Cos she's so soft and she's so friendly.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50She is. And what about you, Ethan?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54She goes on adventures and she's got lots of friends.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Oh, she sounds great! What friends does Felix have?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59The people here,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01the people on the trains
0:03:01 > 0:03:03and the internet.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Wow! She sounds like a very popular cat.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09What other things does Felix like?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Getting her back scratched.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, I bet she loves that.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- And what else, Nevie? - She likes getting a cuddle.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Ooh, she looks very cuddly.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Rory, can you tell us some more facts about cats like Felix here?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- RORY:- Of course, Ferne.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28One.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30A group of cats is called a clowder.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Two.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35A male cat is called a tom,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39and a female cat is called a molly or a queen.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Three.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Cats have really good eyesight,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48which means they can see well in the dark.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Four.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Cats have very rough tongues
0:03:52 > 0:03:56and they use them to clean and groom themselves.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Five.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01A cat can jump almost seven times their own height.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03That's incredible!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Even though Felix is a working cat,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31she still needs the same love and care as a cat that lives in a home.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Is this is where Felix sleeps?- Yes. - She has a lot of toys.- And a bed.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Wow! It's a perfect little room, isn't it?- Yes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40A comfy bed is important
0:04:40 > 0:04:43because some cats can sleep for up to 16 hours a day.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- That is a long time, isn't it?- Yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- And it's great cos her room seems quite quiet, doesn't it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Which is also important because cats have very good hearing.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56They can hear so much better than we can.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59They can even hear things that we can't.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Can you show me where Felix gets her food?- Come, on.- Come on.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Ethan, what type of food does Felix eat?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Dry food and wet food. - Ooh, that sounds yummy.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- And how many times a day do you feed her?- Twice.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26We need to make sure there's water in her bowl.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28That's very good cos cats can get thirsty.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Should we give her some food now? - Yeah.- OK.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33All of it. Mmm.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Yummy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Shall we put in some wet food?- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- That is a good cat dinner, isn't it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45TRAIN TOOTS
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Where does Felix go to the toilet?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49In her litter tray.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- And Ethan, how many times do you have to clean that?- Every day.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Ooh, that's very important, isn't it?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now, one last thing before we do anything else.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- We need to wash our hands. - Wash our hands.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Hi, Louise.- Hi, Louise.- Hi, Louise.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Hi, Ferne. Hi, Ethan. Hi, Nevie. Hi, Felix.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Is it time for a pamper today?- Yeah, definitely. Isn't it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Because Felix lives at the train station,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39her coat and paws can get dirty with the soot from the trains.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Usually cats lick themselves to stay nice and clean,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- but Felix is too mucky for that, isn't she?- Yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- What do we need to do?- Today we need to give Felix a good bath and brush.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- That sounds good, doesn't it? - Yes.- Yes.- Shall we get started?- Yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55I love this bit.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Aw!
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Here she is.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04She definitely needs a shave.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Can you pass the clippers, please?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Felix has a few knots so they need clipping off.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- They definitely do, don't they? - Yes.- Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14CLIPPERS BUZZ
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Mats and knots are caused when cats' hair gets tangled and dirty.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20They can be uncomfortable,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24so you should brush and groom your cat often to help prevent them.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- She's being very good, isn't she? - She's being a very good girl.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- She's quite used to this. - She has quite a few underneath.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- That's all Felix's knots out.- Wow!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Look at that! That's huge, isn't it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- So, what's next, Louise? - Next is a bath for Felix.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's important to keep Felix's head dry
0:07:51 > 0:07:54so that water doesn't get in her ears.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58We're even using special cat shampoo.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01She's going to be nice and squeaky-clean.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Not all cats like water,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07but Felix is quite used to this
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and Louise knows exactly what she's doing.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Louise is cleaning Felix's paws, which is very important.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Because she works in the station, her paws can get mucky.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's good to keep them nice and clean.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24If you have an outdoor cat, it's also good to check your cat's paws
0:08:24 > 0:08:28for any cuts or splinters they might have picked up when out and about.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30She's ready for her rinse.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Time to dry this cat.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Good girl, Felix.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Louise is going to use a special hairdryer.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Sometimes the loud noise might scare some cats,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52but Felix is quite used to it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54She's being very good. Ready?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57HAIRDRYER WHIRS
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Is that her all done, Louise? - All done now.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- She looks fantastic, doesn't she? - Yes.- Great job.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I think Felix is definitely ready for a day at work at the station,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and she can see all of her friends and her fans.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29My Pet And Me!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Do you think Felix knows where all the trains are going?- Yes.- Yes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41If Felix could do anything in the whole world,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43what would she do?
0:09:47 > 0:09:52If Felix the station cat could do anything,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56she would take a boat to an island.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00She would play in the sea,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02and make sandcastles.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07She would see a mermaid singing on a rock.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10And they would sing a song together.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- # La-la-la! - Meow-meow-meow! #
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I think we're ready to go work with Felix for the day.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I can't wait to see what she gets up to.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Are we ready?- Yes!- Yes! - What do we need to do?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Go and find Felix!- Find Felix!
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Yeah, let's go!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Where are you, Felix? We can't find you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Felix! Shh-shh-shh-shh.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I think Felix is in the information booth.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00That's where you can find out all about the trains
0:11:00 > 0:11:04and what time they leave and arrive at. Should we go test Felix?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Yes.- Yes.- Come on.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Hello there, madam.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Can you tell me if the train to Wolverhampton is running on time?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Meow, meow.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It is? Great, thank you.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Is there sandwiches on the train to London?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Meow.- Thank you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Excuse me, Felix. Is the train to Leeds on time?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Meow, meow.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Thank you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Felix is very adventurous,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and she loves exploring the train station.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05She works really hard to keep mice and pigeons away from the platforms.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Wow, what a busy day we've had!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Felix definitely works hard, doesn't she?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yes.- She worked here for five years.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Wow! That is a very long time.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27I have had so much fun. Thank you for such a fantastic day.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33But I've got one last question. How am I going to get home?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- BOTH:- On the train!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Of course! TRAIN TOOTS
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Bye, Felix.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- I had a great time with my friends. It was really fun.- Oh, great.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00As you can see, I've been catching up on some cuddle time with Hector.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01He's loving it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Pets are great, but remember you shouldn't touch an animal
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- unless the owner says it's OK first. - Two pets you can play with are ours.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Go to the website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16What a fantastic time we've had. We love meeting you and your pets.
