0:01:16 > 0:01:21Today, I'm in Derby to meet sisters Charis and Manita and their pet cat.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I just love cats. Come on.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Hello! - Hello.- Hello.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You must be Charis and Manita.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Yeah.- Hi, Ferne.- Lovely to meet you.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- And you must be Mum. Hi. - Hi, Ferne.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Now, I heard that you have a really special cat
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- that I would just love to meet. - Yeah.- Can we go see her?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51- Yeah. Come in.- Thank you.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, girls, this is your cat.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Yeah.- She's beautiful.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- What's her name?- Olives. - Olives.- That's a fantastic name.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07What type of cat is Olives?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08BOTH: A Siamese.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- That's a very special type of cat, isn't it?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- What's something special about Olives?- She loves cuddles.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- She looks very cuddly, doesn't she? - Yeah. Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23She's so cute. Siamese cats are very affectionate,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and they love to curl up and have a cuddle.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29They also love company and you can often see them following
0:02:29 > 0:02:32you around the house. They're very cheeky.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34What else is special about Olives?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36She's got blue eyes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And they are beautiful blue eyes, aren't they?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Yeah.- All Siamese cats have blue eyes, just like Olives.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45And they're stunning. So how old is she?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Seven.- That's still quite young, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Hello, Olives. So, so soft.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55What is Olives's favourite thing to do?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Curl up and watch us play.- Does she sit and watch you play? Is she nosy?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- Yeah.- Yeah.- Cos Siamese cats are very intelligent.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Does Olives sleep a lot?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Yeah. Yeah.- Some cats can sleep most of the day,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11which is a lot longer than us, isn't it?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14They love having a good sleep.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Rory, can you tell us some more facts
0:03:16 > 0:03:19about our purr-fect new friend here?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Yes, of course, Ferne.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26One - Siamese cats tend to have darker fur on their ears, faces,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28tails and legs.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30And this is called pointed.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Two - young Siamese cats are mainly white in colour
0:03:36 > 0:03:40and their pointed fur only gets darker as they get older.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Three - Siamese cats love to talk, especially to their owners.- Meow!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50And when they want your attention, they make a very loud yowl.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Yooowwweeow!
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Four - the Siamese breed is known to be very playful and some like to run
0:03:58 > 0:04:00around like they're kittens!
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Five - Siamese cats tend to be great jumpers and love heights,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10so they can often be found sitting up high on things.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Cats can make great pets,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24but, just like all pets, they need lots of love,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- care and attention, don't they, girls?- Yeah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So what do we need to do to look after Olives?
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Feed her, give her water, clean her litter tray and play with her.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- That's a long list, isn't it? - Yeah.- Can I help you out today?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Yeah.- So what is the first thing we need to do?- Feed her.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46That sounds good. And how often do you feed Olives?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Morning and night-time. - That's great.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52And this is a measured amount of food for her, isn't it?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Yeah.- We have to be careful we don't give her too much.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Most cats like to eat small amounts of food at a time, but don't worry,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02they'll always come back for a little nibble later.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Is that what Olives does?- Yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- What type of food does Olives eat? - Dry cat food.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Do you think that's tasty?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Some cats eat dry food, some eat wet food, and some even eat both.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16But Olives is a fan of the dry food.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20That's a perfect amount.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Your mum measured that out for you this morning, didn't she?- Yeah.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What else do we need to do for Olives?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Give her water. - That's really important.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Cats need to have access to lots of fresh water every day.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- They love a good drink, don't they? - Yeah.- OK.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Shall I pour some into her water bowl?- Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You tell me when I've done enough.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- That's enough.- Yeah?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Yeah.- Perfect.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- So, shall we put this down? - Yeah.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50And what do we need to do next?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Clean her litter tray. - That sounds good.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06So this is your litter tray.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10It's great. A litter tray is where a pet cat goes to the toilet.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And cats are very clean animals.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16They won't really use a litter tray unless it's cleaned regularly.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Isn't that right?- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Look, Ferne, she's not used it. - I know! It's fantastic.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Thank you, Olives, no messy job for us. But if you do need to clean a
0:06:26 > 0:06:29litter tray it's really important that you...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Wash your hands. - Exactly. Olives is one lucky cat.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34She's got a nice clean litter tray.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38She's got fresh food and fresh water. Low-five.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's feeding time for Olives,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46and she's coming downstairs for a nibble of her food.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Oh, she seems to be enjoying that.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Looks tasty.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Where is she off to now?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It must be playtime.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10What's she doing under those chairs?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Oh, she's decided to come up for some lovely cuddles instead.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Oh, she loves a good tickle.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Well, she's been fed and cuddled and looks like a very happy cat.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Time for Olives to head back upstairs for a lovely snooze.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Oh, so, this is Olives's scratching post. It's great.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43It's really important that pet cats have a scratching post
0:07:43 > 0:07:47cos it keeps their claws in shape and it's also great for exercise.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Charis, where do you think Olives is now?- Sitting in the sun.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Oh, lucky cat!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- KIDS:- My Pet And Me!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Some cats like Olives just love cuddles.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Charis, if Olives could do absolutely anything in the world,
0:08:13 > 0:08:14what would she do?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19If my pet could do anything...
0:08:19 > 0:08:23she would fly on an aeroplane to France.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30And then she would climb on top of the Eiffel Tower.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Then she would come back down.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37She would be wearing a pink dress.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41And carrying a nice velvet bag.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Olives is a really lucky cat to have the two of you to take care of her,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- isn't she?- Yeah.- Yeah.- And cats like Olives just love playtime.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00So I had an idea. How about we make her a nice feather toy?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Yeah!- Yeah!- Do you think she'll like it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK. Here you go, Manita.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Charis.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- What do you think she's doing now? - She's...- Probably under the bed.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Charis, yours looks beautiful. So does yours, Manita.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24These are going to be the most colourful cat toys.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- Do you think Olives has a favourite colour?- Purr-ple.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Purrrrrr-ple.- Purrrrrr-rple. - Purrrrrr-ple.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Do you think that's all cats' favourite colour?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- Yeah.- Probably.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Shall we make the stick nice and pretty next?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So she's got the ball and the ribbon to play with.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51So Olives can play with two things.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Yes. Because cats love trying to catch things, don't they?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Yeah.- So, should we stick some toy feathers on?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Yeah.- Should we?- Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06What colour feathers should I choose?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Look.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Olives is going to love this.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11This is fun.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15It is fun making cat toys.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19But remember not to use anything too small that they could swallow.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22All finished. These look fantastic.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Good job, girls. Do you think Olives is going to like them?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Yeah.- Shall we go find her and show her?- Yeah.- OK. Olives!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Look what we made!
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Do you think she likes it when we've got lots of colours floating around
0:10:41 > 0:10:43in her face?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's really important that when you're playing with your cat
0:10:46 > 0:10:48you don't make them cross or annoy them.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52They'll usually let you know that they've had enough by walking away.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Come on, Olives, look at your toys.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Come on.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Do you think she likes these colours, girls?- Yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- I think she does. - It's got a bit of purr-ple.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09It's got a lot of purr-ple in here.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's important to make time to play with your cat
0:11:12 > 0:11:16to keep them entertained and happy, and afterwards, when they are done,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19you can always give them a nice cuddle.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I love Olives. - I love Olives, too. She's gorgeous.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Oh, look, she's come over here. - Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I think she likes the ribbons the best.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44GIRLS LAUGH
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I think you're right, Charis.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51She's enjoying playing with that green ribbon.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I think she loves that, doesn't she, Charis?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Yes. She's tired after all that playing.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06She is. I've just loved meeting you and Olives.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08She's such a beautiful cat.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Thank you very much.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12BOTH: Thanks, Ferne.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- KIDS:- My Pet And Me!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Hi, Rory.- Hi, Ferne.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Hiya, Hector. - How was your day?- It was fantastic.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I had such a good time with my friends. It was really fun.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Oh, great. Well, as you can see,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I've been catching up on some serious cuddle time with Hector.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I can see that. And he's loving it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Pets are great, but remember,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41you shouldn't touch an animal unless the owner says it's OK first.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Two pets you definitely can play with, though, are ours.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49What a fantastic time we had.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51We just love meeting you and your pets.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57# Today, we met
0:12:57 > 0:12:59# A lovely pet
0:12:59 > 0:13:02# We see how much you care for them
0:13:02 > 0:13:06# Thank you for so much for sharing them
0:13:06 > 0:13:09# Time for us to
0:13:09 > 0:13:12# Just remind you
0:13:12 > 0:13:15# After you've played with your pets
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- KIDS:- # Wash your hands Don't forget
0:13:18 > 0:13:20# It doesn't matter what pets you've got
0:13:20 > 0:13:24# You might have one, you might not
0:13:24 > 0:13:30# It's still fun finding out what having a pet is all about
0:13:30 > 0:13:33# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:33 > 0:13:36# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:36 > 0:13:38# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:38 > 0:13:41# Come back and see My Pet And Me. #
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- ALL:- Bye!
