Once, there was a cat called Mog.
Mog was nice, but not very clever.
She didn't understand a lot of things.
A lot of other things, she forgot.
But she always knew when it was her dinner time.

Mog sat on the windowsill.
There was nothing to do, and no-one to play with.

MR THOMAS: Right, come on.
The shops will be shut if you don't get a move on.
Hello, Mog. We're going to buy a Christmas tree.
Oh, who put that there?
It's going to be GINORMOUS!
No, it's not. It'll be a nice, sensible size, as per usual.
You're going to love it, Mog. MOG PURRS
But you promised!
I, um... I wouldn't say "promised", exactly. See you later, Mog!
You did!
And when am I supposed to have made this promise I didn't make?
LAST Christmas! Really?
You said we could have a ginormous one.
Oh, well, now I KNOW you're fibbing
because I would NEVER use the word "ginormous".

Just one, please. Right you are, sir.
Thank you. Cheers, governor. Much obliged.

What on earth is going on? Look, dear!
Oh! A monkey! Monkeys on the house! Call the zoo! Call the fire brigade!

Hello, Mog.
MOG MEOWS SADLY
It's rather nice up here, isn't it? Peaceful.
But look, Mog. It's your favourite.
You can have it if you just come down.
You want your dinner, don't you?
Mog DID want her dinner. She wanted it very much,
but she couldn't think how to get down...
No?
..because she couldn't remember how she got up.
Oh, well. I'm sure you'll be down in your own good time.
She won't budge. Aww...
Oh, cheer up, you two. You haven't even put your stockings up yet.
Father Christmas is coming tonight..
NICKY: Maybe he'll rescue Mog. DEBBIE: Oh, that would be nice!
Mog felt very sorry for herself.
She looked down at all the people in their homes.
"They're lucky," she thought.
"They haven't had trees that walk about and shout at them."
So she settled down for the night and drifted off to sleep
# Are we where we're meant to be? La, la, la, la, la, la
# Holding hands around a Christmas tree
# La, la, la, la, la, la
# We should be together in everything we do
# Knowing you are there for me and I am there for you
# I can't change the way I'm made La, la, la, la, la, la
# I won't be everybody's cup of tea La, la, la, la, la, la
# They don't need to worry
# I am doing fine
# There's happy people all around and all of them are friends of mine
# I'll never stray too far
# My home is where you are
# Nothing can go wrong
# As long as I belong, belong, belong As long as I belong.
# I'll come back down one day soon La, la, la, la, la, la
# But first I'll try and touch the moon
# La, la, la, la, la, la
# No-one's being busy up here where I can hide
# But I won't stay away too long They'd all like me to stay inside
# I'll never stray too far
# My home is where you are
# Nothing can go wrong
# As long as I belong, belong, belong As long as I belong
# I'll never stray too far
# My home is where you are
# Nothing can go wrong
# As long as I belong, belong, belong
# As long as I belong. #
Oh, hello! Merry Christmas.
Has anyone seen my glasses, dear?
BIRD CHIRPS Oh!
CHILDREN: Yay!
Mwah! Happy Christmas, darling.
CHILDREN: Father Christmas has been!
Ooh, I wonder if he saw Mog.
DEBBIE: Maybe he brought her down on his sleigh!
Let's find out, shall we? I'll get the kettle on.
Come on, you two. Who wants a sneaky mince pie before breakfast?
CHILDREN: Me! And a Brussels sprout on the side?
CHILDREN: Ew, no! THEY GIGGLE

Oh, bother that cat.
Inside the house, everyone was sad because Mog had not come down.
They were too sad to eat their breakfast.
