Plot
Jack, Mary, and Mel are playing a song about animal sounds (pigs, cows, sheep and cats), with a Venus flytrap secretly watching from the window. After the song is over, one of Mel's drums falls on his head, making him behave like a cat down to the sound of one! However, he is still smart enough to operate his music machine, to which a song from the Laurie Berkner Band plays.

After the song, Jack and Mary try to figure out what made Mel act like a cat. The Venus flytrap secretly places the drum that landed on Mel's head in Mary's hand, and when she sees it, she comes to the conclusion that it made Mel forget what he is. Realizing that Mel's not going to turn back into a dog by himself, JAck tries to teach Mel to "ruff" again, to extreme failure.
