[edit] Synopsis
Kenny becomes addicted to the latest method of getting high involving cats. After a new law is passed, Cartman becomes determined to save Mr. Kitty from being taken away.
[edit] Plot
At South Park Elementary, Mr. Mackey is teaching the fourth graders about the dangers of choking yourself to get high Kenny starts choking himself. Butters then questions if you can get high off of cat urine, which Mr. Mackey says is actually not urine but the highly concentrated liquid produced when cats spray their territory.
At Cartman's house, the boys manage to get Kenny high off of Mr. Kitty's spray. Kenny then descends into a surreal imaginary world surrounded by breasts and encounters a beautiful large breasted scantily dressed girl. The breasts which are completly all visible and uncensored, except when the girl reveals hers which remain unseen every time. After attempting to take his clothes off after running around town, he is awoken by Cartman who he is angry at.
This new method of getting high (dubbed "cheesing", because it is 'fon to do' (fondue)) makes the headlines, with Kyle's parents watching it, leading to a town meeting. Gerald manages to get a new law passed banning cats from town, and so nearly all the cats are taken away, apart from Mr. Kitty who Cartman hides in the attic. As time goes by, more and more cats are moved into the attic to save them from being taken away.
At Kenny's, Stan, Kyle and Butters find Kenny getting high off of his cat, which they confiscate and then threaten to tell on him if he does not stop getting high. Taking his cat to his home, Kyle is grounded by Gerald after Sheila finds it in his drawer. Deciding to have the cat taken away, Gerald first takes it down to the basement, but it is then revealed that he used to be into cheesing, and becomes tempted which leads to him trying it once again.
In his imaginary reality, Gerald meets the large-breasted woman who Kenny has encountered before. Gerald soon discovers Kenny is also there, having got high off of all the cats in Cartman's attic, and the two fight over the woman, and in actual fact they are wrestling in a sandbox in the park. Many have come to watch the fight, with Gerald being discovered.
Gerald decides cats are not to blame, but people are (especially after his own actions), and all cats are returned. The boys then decide they've learned something today, and are glad that Kenny has got off the craze. Kyle questions Cartman's actions over his rescue of cats, and asks if it reminds him of anything else historical, which Cartman denies to the anger of Kyle. Kenny meanwhile has begun to get high on flowers, which Stan calls "getting high on life", Kyle calls "getting really high on life", and Cartman calls "getting super-wasted on life". Kenny is back in the imaginary world with the large-breasted woman again.
[edit] Goofs
- In this episode Cartman's cat is male. But in the season three eipsode "Cat Orgy" the cat is a female, indicated by her offering her behind to several male cats.
- We see girls getting high but where do they go if the men go to Boobland?
- In the part where Gerald is giving the speech about getting rid of cats, the Mayor's lips appear to be small and full like the rest of the people of South Park, where hers should be very thin with red lipstick.
[edit] Trivia
- Mr. Kitty reappears in this episode after a long unexplained absence, as he has not been seen, only mentioned, since season 3's Cat Orgy.
- Kenny's car is a 1979's black Pontiac Trans Am, unlike the white Corvette featured in Heavy Metal. Due to the animation difficulty, a 3-D model was sometimes used in the scenes.
- This is Kenny's first speaking appearance in the Season, and the first appearance as a major character since Best Friends Forever, or debatably The List.
- In the attic where Cartman hides the cats, there is a picture of Arthur Conan Doyle[1], and he tells his cat to "write a diary." This, along with the running theme of Cartman hiding multiple cats in his attic references the Diary of Anne Frank and the plight of Jews in Nazi occupied territories. This stands in stark contrast to Cartman's apparent hatred of Jews, and he fails to make the connection at the end of the episode.
- When he goes out to let in Rufus (the neighbor's cat) Cartman wears a fedora and overcoat similar to Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List.
- When Shelia is standing next to Gerald as he admits he has cheesed, the clothing she wears (from the pearl necklace to the color of the clothes) and the expressionless face is exactly what the wife of Govenor Mcgreevey, who had to sit next to her husband as he admits to being gay and having a long affair with another man.
- In this episode a hole is seen in the window in Kenny's House, most likely from the gun Bebe fired in The List
