Cai, he's so adorable.

What's his name?

This foster kitty doesn't have a name yet.

Foster kitty?

Does that mean you're not keeping him?

- Well... - So I should keep him!

Dana, you just got a dog.

And I'm thinking about keeping him.

You should!

I'll cat-sit for you.

How does that sound, Shadow?

I'm just trying out names.

[laughs] Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Before I make my decision, I need to make sure

he can learn to live with people.

What do you mean?

He's living with you right now.

Yeah, but... look what he did.

[Dana] He attacked you?

Midnight doesn't look that vicious.

Nah, he doesn't look like a Midnight.

He's not vicious, but he was abandoned by his mom,

so he is still a wild cat.

A wild cat, huh?

[Smilodon snarls & roars]

You know, Inky kind of reminds me of the Smilodon.

There's a kitten dinosaur?

I wish. The Smilodon's not a dinosaur.

It's a prehistoric creature.

This is him.

You might know him by his other name,

saber-tooth tiger.

I wouldn't want to foster one of those.

Why not? He's just like Fudge.

Only much bigger.

Smilodon weighed almost as much as two lions.

Bigger cat, bigger scratch.

You just have to teach him to live with people,

like you're teaching Jet.

[Dana giggles]

I wonder if cave people did that.

Cave people?

Smilodon lived up until 10,000 years ago,

at the same time as cave people.

I wouldn't want to be one of them.

I would.

Cute isn't a good enough reason to keep a wild animal,

especially one that steals your food.

That's how wolves became dogs!

What are you talking about?

Wolves used to follow cave people when they hunted

and ate the scraps of meat they left behind.

Can I borrow your phone?

Here's a cave drawing of a cave person

hunting with a wolf.

Weren't the wolves scared that they'd be hunted

by the cave people?

[Dana] You would think so,

but the wolves were probably more hungry than scared.

Animals spend a lot of their time trying to find food,

so if they can get it more easily from people,

they'll take it.

That makes sense.

One of the ways we can get wild animals to trust us

is by teaching them that we'll give them food. See?

Ah. Can I do it?

Sure. Just hold your hand down

and let him come to you.

[Dana giggles] That tickles.

How else do you get a wild animal to trust you?

Well, after food, the next thing they look for is shelter,

a safe area to call home.

Food and shelter, huh?

We should name him Mr. Cuddles.

Well, the more we cuddle him,

the more he'll get used to the idea

that people aren't going to hurt him.

I'm not going to hurt you, Mr. Cuddles.

Let's move him to the couch.

I think I love him.

And I think he love us -

especially you,

because you give him food and shelter.

He is pretty cute.

I'm not done cuddling him yet.

Cuddling ability isn't the only reason to keep a cat.

I'm sure he has lots of other abilities, like...

I bet he'll grow up to be a great mouse hunter.

I don't have mice.

But what if you did?

I bet the Smilodon was a great hunter, too.

That was close.

Yeah, the Smilodon really loved his new cave family

a lot.

Hopefully, one day,

Sabertooth Kitty will have a new family to love, too.

"Sabertooth Kitty"? I kind of like the name Saber.

So do I.

[kitten meows] So does he!

Do you really think I should keep him?

A thousand times yes.

What do you think, Saber?

Do you want to live with me?

[kitten purring]

[Dana] He purred yes.

[gasps] He purred yes!

Welcome home, Saber.

Psittacosaurus spotted.

Wait. Psittacosaurus?

It's happening!

Dad!

Dad!

Grandma?

[chuckles] Surprise!

Your dad picked up an extra shift at the hospital,

so it's just you and me today, sweetie.

Oh.

Try not to get too excited.

[Dana] Sorry.

It's just that I just saw a Psittacosaurus.

Was that supposed to mean something to me?

It's a dinosaur.

Oh.

[Dana] This one.

Huh. Its face kind of looks like a parrot.

[Dana] Good observation, Grandma.

Psittacosaurus' name

actually means "parrot lizard".

Notice anything else?

Well, those tail quills remind me of a porcupine.

[Dana] Exactly.

Just like a porcupine,

the Psittacosaurus used its quills for defense,

but I've never been able to see one use them

to defend itself against a predator because...

they're too fast for me.

[Grandma] Is that why you need your dad?

[Dana] Yep. He was going to

help me test the Psittacosaurus' defenses

by upgrading my bike to look like a Dromaeosaurus.

Another word that means nothing to me.

This dino.

It's a carnivore that hunts in packs

and its name means "swift running lizard",

so it should easily be able to keep up with the Psittaco.

Now that Dad's not here...

Well, who needs a dad when you have a grandma?

[laughs] We'll work on your bike together, Dana.

- Really? - Really.

Anything your father can do, I'm sure I can do better.

Now, where does your dad keep his craft supplies?

Um...

I don't know about this, Grandma.

Dad said we should only use his supplies without asking

if it was a crafting emergency.

Well, this is a science emergency.

I'm sure he won't mind.

Get ready to be amazed, Dana. [chuckles]

Uh... Can't believe I'm asking this, but...

he doesn't want Mom working as much,

Hey, Nugget.

Sorry I couldn't help you upgrade your bike today.

That's okay.

Grandma's been helping.

Wait. Are those my crafting supplies?

Um...

I borrowed them, Aman.

Was it an emergency?

Well, sort of.

I have a little girl here who's really missing her dad.

Aw, Nugget.

I miss you, too.

Look, I've got another 15 minutes on my break.

Let's get crafting.

[Dana] It looks amazing!

Thanks for your help, Aman.

What was that, Gloria?

I said, "Thanks for your help, Aman."

The reception is really bad here.

Can you say that again

and just wait 'til I'm recording it?

Thanks again, Dad.

No problem, Nugget.
