Chi gets groomed
What They Say:
Chi is a sweet playful kitten, always full of energy. She gets milk from Yohei, and is relaxing at home, nice and full. As she searches around the house for something exciting, she comes across Yohei walking with a handful of rubber balls. The balls bounce everywhere as he drops them, and Yohei and Chi can’t get more excited. The day ends with Chi and the family making a great memory together.
The Review:

The series certainly delight the last time around just for the fact that we got Chi in a Halloween costume where she was anything but thrilled that such a thing happened. Chi’s reactions are often a highlight of the property and getting her in something so outside her usual comfort zone was definitely the right kind of treat. The show has been steadily improving for me as I’m adjusting to its groove and how it wants to operate, though still a bit frustrated by the “drop the viewer in the middle of it” aspect that got things underway. I’m also continuing to quite enjoy Chi in CG form as they’ve done a great job of capturing her playfulness.
While the cold open gives us some fun with Mom forgetting to feed Chi for breakfast, the main festivities get underway as we see Chi playing and Mom doing some vacuuming before it all goes badly. With some fun nightmare material for Chi in relation to the vacuum put into place, the reality is that it’s shedding season and fur is everywhere, which means it’s time give Chi some attention on this. Mom uses it as a chance for Dad to get more hands on like he wanted with Chi and do some of the grooming, but this is definitely a bad pairing in the making. The problem is that Chi obviously doesn’t want the brush while Dad reads up on it and fears for Chi’s life if he doesn’t get her taken care of. This leads to a comical battle between the two that plays out as you’d expect.
In Summary:
Seeing how Chi and Dad bond is definitely a good moment because not everything has to be filled with drama and chaos. Chi brings enough of that into the picture in general but I like the way her memory works here to associate the brush with something else. While Momm and Chi have some cute moments and I love just how much Chi enjoys all kinds of grooming, it’s all about Chi and she regularly steals the show once more.
