[edit] Plot

On the night of a meteor shower, Mrs. Cartman goes to Mr. Mackey's party, leaving Cartman in the care of Stan's 12 year old sister, Shelley, who is incredibly violent. While babysitting, she invites her 22 year old boyfriend, Skyler, over, who in turn invites his band, The Lords of the Underworld. Cartman, dressed up as Will Smith's version of Jim West from Wild Wild West, is in his room, trying to get a letter to his mom by sending out his cat, Kitty. Kitty, however, is in heat, and goes out in search of a tom. After an unsuccessful attempt with an overweight tom, she winds up seducing a large group of cats, and invites them back to Cartman's house and cracks open catnip. Madness ensues.

Back at home, Cartman takes a picture of Shelly and Skyler about to kiss, Shelly however finds the picture with the cat and takes it. During the Meteor shower Skyler gets mad at Shelly because she won't have sex with him because she is 12 years old. Cartman taped everything and is about to get Shelley in trouble, but instead comes to pity her when Skyler, angry that Shelley won't "put out" for him, breaks up with her.

Cartman and Shelley team up for revenge, and sneak into the woods near where Skyler lives. Cartman manages to entice Skyler out of his house with a taping of his Salma Hayek impersonation while Shelley sneaks in and destroys his prized guitar. They return home to find Kitty and many other cats engaged in a massive feline orgy. Skyler shows up, furious, but Cartman throws a box of catnip at Skyler, which attracts the clowder of cats, who attack and try to rape him. Mrs. Cartman returns home. Shelley and Cartman blame it on each other and presumably end their cease-fire, but, fortunately for them, Liane is very drunk and passes out without noticing the mess.

[edit] Pop culture references

At the beginning and end of the episode, Cartman sings his rendition of Will Smith's "Wild Wild West", with altered lyrics and rhythm. This was supposedly done in reaction to Wild Wild West being released the same day as South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
When Cartman takes a picture of Shelly and her boyfriend, he yells "Ha, ha charade you are!". This is a repeating line from song "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" from Pink Floyd's 1977 Animals album.
Cartman can be seen watching Aliens at one point. He repeats Newt's line "They mostly come out at night. Mostly." in an apparently mocking tone after hearing it and paraphrases it several times throughout the episode as follows:
- "She mostly gets really mad. Mostly." (in reference to his mother, when Skyler first comes to the house)
- "They mostly come every few years. Mostly." (in reference to meteor showers, when trying to convince Shelly to let him join her and Skyler at the meteor shower)
- "You'll mostly never babysit me again! Mostly." (in reference to Shelly herself, when quietly rejoicing over his success at the above)
Cartman tells Kitty "You're my only hope", a reference to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and That Darn Cat at the same time.

[edit] Plot hole

There is a plot hole regarding the gender of Cartman's cat. In this episode, at 2:22 into the episode, Cartman's mother says "Don't mind the cat if she makes to much noise, she is just in heat". But in episode 1203 "Major Boobage", the boys use spray from a male cat to get high. The male cat they choose is Cartman's cat, which is referred to as a female cat in heat in this episode. Of course, Cartman always refers to his cat as Mr. Kitty, so this is probably just an error on his mom's part.

[edit] Trivia

The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.

This is one of the few episodes where all the original characters (Stan, Kyle, Kenny) don't appear.
This is also one of the few episodes before season 5 where Kenny doesn't die; however seeing as this takes place at the same time as "Jewbilee", where Kenny sacrifices himself to free Moses, he dies offscreen.
In this episode Shelly and Cartman are the main characters.
