Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day to you,
Nature Cat!
And a happy Valentine's Day
to both of you!
Hey! Where's Hal?
Hey, yeah, he loves Valentine's
Day more than anyone!
Yeah, gotta give him a
Valentine's Day hug...
HAL:
Tah-deeee!
Happy Valentine's Day
to one and all!
Wheeee!
Group Valentines Day hug!
Love the costume, Hal!
Thank you, I made it myself!
Oh boy, I just love
Valentines Day!
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
like I always do;
handing out cards
and flowers and candy
to all my valentines...
And ending the day with a
special delivery of love
for my mommy!
I can't wait to give her...
Oh no! I forgot!
Forgot what?
To buy all my valentine cards
and flowers and candy!
Oh no, I've ruined
Valentine's Day.
Don't worry.
You haven't, Hal.
There's plenty of time
to go to the store
and buy everything you need!
Okay! Then what are
we waiting for? Let's go!
Wait wait wait, hold it!
I just remembered something.
What, that you forgot to buy
presents too?
No.
You know, come to think of it,
I saw someone put a lot of
Valentines Day stuff
out in the trash can
the day after.
Seemed like a big waste...
Hmmm, now that you mention it,
Squeeks...
Daisy and I saw lots of
Valentine's Day trash too.
Cards, flowers,
plastic wrappers.
Oh yeah! I remember too!
All that garbage for
just one day.
All that plastic garbage
really should be recycled.
Or reused.
And all that paper and
cardboard just thrown out.
Paper comes from nature's trees!
We shouldn't waste it like that.
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
I can't give
Valentine's Day stuff
that wastes so much
plastic and paper.
Man-oh-man, this is not good.
Well, how are we supposed to
celebrate Valentine's Day now?
HAL:
We aren't.
As much as I love loving love, I
love loving nature more.
And if Valentine's Day makes
that much waste, then...
We're never celebrating it
again!
No, Hal, wait!
It's your favorite holiday!
And you have so much love
to give, Hal!
We have to do something!
Hmm.
We just need to think
think think.
Ha! Look at this!
Nature's own Valentine!
Hal can reuse these leaves to
make Valentines!
Hey, that leaf
looks like a heart!
Good going, tree, you made
the perfect valentines!
And there are plenty of them,
even for Hal!
Fear not, Hal!
We're here to save
Valentine's Day!
It's okay, Nature Cat.
I'm putting all my
holiday energy
into National Rawhide
Chewie Day.
I'm giving up on
Valentine's Day...
Give up? Never!
What?
I give you...
A Nature Valentine's Day!
A whoozywhatsy?
And who recycles and reuses
better than nature?
All the love and none of the
waste this Valentine's Day!
And all the Valentine's Days
hereafter!
Evermore... forever...
You get my drift, heh heh.
I want to believe you but...
I love everybody a lot!
And I don't want them to be
disappointed if I give them...
Something like this?
Ooh, a heart!
Oh! That's so valentiney!
Or this?!
Yes yes yes!
All are 100% au natural!
You're right!
Maybe it'll work!
We have a lot of valentines to
decorate.
Tally ho!
HAL:
We did it!
Oh, wait, one more.
To Hal. Love Hal.
Okay, now I'm ready!
Valentine's Day, here I come!
♪
Everyone LOVED the leaf cards!
Our Nature Valentine's Day has
been a big time success.
It's not over yet!
I still have my most important
delivereeeeeek!
You okay, Hal?
What's a delivereeeeeeeek?
Every year I buy my mommy the
most bestest card,
and the most beautifulist roses!
But this year, what have I got
for her?
Nothing! I've got nothing!
No you don't, Hal!
If we made hundreds of
valentines with no waste,
some green gifts
for your mommy will be a--
A--
(Snapping)
Thank you, Squeeks!
Now then, we can do this, Hal!
All we have to do is...
Should have thought this through
before the big proclamation.
Heh heh.
Oh, I have an idea!
You could cut out pictures from
one of these old magazines
and make a collage card.
Ooo!
Hound in Garden, that's her
favorite!
Where are my safety scissors?
Oh! Collages are so underrated!
Hey, guys!
If you think collages are cool,
check this out!
Ta-da!
An empty water bottle?
What a great gift!
Hear me out-- crazy idea, what
if we put water in it?
Use your scissors
to cut off the top.
A spy glass?
No, look! A vase!
Even better!
And here's a crafty tip!
You can use the extra pages to
make paper flowers!
With a hint of lavender aroma so
they smell like the real thing!
And they'll last longer than
real flowers!
But what if my mommy doesn't
like handmade flowers
as much as the real ones I
usually give her?
She loves you, Hal!
So if it comes from your heart
and your own two paws,
your mom will love whatever
you make for her.
I guess you're right,
Nature Cat.
I'd better get working!
My mommy's house
is right over here...
Mommy!
Happy Valentine's Day Hally!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm so happy you and your
friends came to visit me, Hally.
Mom, I just go by Hal now...
Thank you for your kind
hospitality, Ms. Hal's Mom.
So, I, uh, you know how I
usually buy you flowers
and a card and fancy candy?
Yes. And I always appreciate it.
I know, and--
Hey, Nature Cat, are you sure
this is a good idea?
Maybe the store still has,
I don't know, like, a--
Go on, Hal. She'll love it.
Right. Right. Okay.
Mommy, this year we decided to
do a Nature Valentine's Day.
So instead of buying stuff that
would just get thrown away,
I made these for you.
A homemade vase with
newspaper flowers.
And...
"I love you, Mommy.
Love, Hal."
So... do you like it?
No...
I love it!
You spent so much time
and effort
to make these wonderful gifts
just for me!
This is the best
Valentine's Day ever!
And now I have a few surprise
gifts for all of you!
A gift certificate for one
nature adventure of your choice,
led by yours truly!
Thanks, Nature Cat. So sweet!
Here's a picture I took
of each of you
on one of our adventures
this year.
Happy Valentine's day!
And I wanted to give each of you
a favorite rock from my
collection.
I found them in your favorite
spots.
The forest,
your garden,
and the creek!
You know us so well.
Okay, my turn! My turn!
A daisy for Daisy.
Aw, for my garden!
A drawing for Nature Cat.
I love it, Hal!
And for Squeeks.
Oh, Hal, it's beautiful and
it's a snack at the same time!
I love it!
So yummy!
Happy Valentine's Day!

DAISY:
Man-oh-man!
We've had so much fun this
winter!
This winter has been
sensational!
And it's not done yet!
My sledding birthday party
is in two days
and it's gonna be another
winter-iffic winter day!
Hooray!
Hey guys!
Might not be as much winter left
as you think.
Warm spring weather might come
early this year!
If spring comes early
then it'll be warmer
and then all the snow will melt
and then we can't sled at my
sledding birthday party
and then I'll be so sad!
Well, how do we know if Spring's
warm weather is coming early?
Well, we're in luck, you guys.
'Cause it's Groundhog Day!
It's Groundhog Day?!
Today?!
♪ It's Groundhog Day! ♪
♪ It's Groundhog Day! ♪
♪ It's Groundhog Day! ♪
♪ Hooray!
Every year on February 2nd,
the groundhog comes
out of its hole
to let everyone know
if spring's coming early!
The groundhog knows all!
Whoa!
Sweet!
When does Groundhog Day start?
Right now! Over in the woods!
Then, it's time to find out
if spring will come early!
Onward and yonward to
Groundhog Day!
Oh, Spring just can't come early
this year! It can't!
Hey-oooo!
It's Grrrooundhog Day!
Oh yeah!
I'm honored to introduce
the legend
that makes this whole thing
possible!
The man of the hour,
the talk of the town,
the rodent of the moment,
here he is...
The Groundhoooggg!
(Cheering)
I said...
The Groundhooog!!!
Uh... Groundhog?
GROUNDHOG:
Nobody's home. Really.
I'm not even here.
Nobody's here right now.
This is a recording.
Okay, groundhog,
I know you're in there.
Come out. It's your day today!
Hey. Aren't you coming out?
No.
Why not?
Because I'm no good, that's why!
Look, you gotta get someone else
to do my job. Please!
(Gasping)
Okay, wait, hold on a sec--
No. I'm not good.
My record doesn't lie.
In the last 10 years,
I've been right five times
and wrong five times.
I'm getting a stomach ache
just thinking about it.
Sorry...
What about knowing if Spring
will come early?
Spring just can't come early!
If it does, then it'll be warmer
and then all the snow will melt
and then we can't sled at my
sledding birthday party
and then I'll be so sad!
What are we going to do?
When's spring coming?
Now we'll never know!
Friends and neighbors!
I, Nature Cat,
am here to save the day!
I will predict whether spring
will be early this year,
or winter hangs on!
(Cheering)
Okay, Nature Cat,
so what's your prediction?
Why, MC Ferret, that is an
excellent question.
That I will gladly answer...
later today!
RONALD:
Can I have your attention
please?!
Ronald...
I'm going to give my own weather
prediction later too!
And it's gonna be the correct
weather prediction!
Ho ho ho.
We'll see about that, Ronald!
Oh yeah, we sure will see about
that, Nature Cat!
You heard it here, folks,
come back later
to hear Nature Cat's and
Ronald's prediction!
Who will be right?!
(Cheering)
What did I get myself into?
I like saving the day and all,
but I don't know how to predict
the arrival of spring
like the groundhog!
What was I thinking?
You just need to stop
thinking...
let things happen...
and be the groundhog.
Be the groundhog? How?
Simple, my friend.
It's all about the shadows.
Shadows?
Yep, when the groundhog
sees his shadow,
it means six more weeks
of winter.
If he doesn't see his shadow,
it's an early spring!
See my shadow, huh?
(Laughing)
Easy as pie! I can do that!
Okay, hmm.
I see my shadow!
Ha ha!
More winter to come!
Well, I gotta tell ya
that was easy!
Oh. Wait, no, sorry.
No shadow. My bad.
Early spring it is!
No, hold on, new development,
now there is a shadow--
and immediately no shadow.
Wow, okay. So...
Shadow. No shadow. Shadow.
No shadow.
Ahhh! What is going on here?
Oh, it's the clouds.
They're making your shadow
appear and disappear...
Hey, am I the only one that is,
like, super confused right now?
Right?!
No wonder the groundhog wasn't
very successful at predicting!
(Ronald laughing)
Ronald!
Well, hello, Nature Cat.
Shadow problems?
(Chuckling)
Yes. I mean, no!
Maybe!
Shadows are no way to predict
spring's arrival.
And what, pray tell,
makes you so qualified?
My great, great, great,
great grandfather
wrote the book on predicting
seasons and weather!
Pshaw! That's just an
expression.
"If on Sunday rain there be,
expect the week
more rain to see."
Boom! Take that!
Oh, come on, Ronald,
just 'cause it rains on a Sunday
doesn't mean it's going to
rain the whole week!
I'm not buying what you're
selling.
Or this one!
"When grass is eaten by a dog,
there will be a lot of fog..."
Boom shakalaka!
I don't know how
a dog eating grass
has anything to do with weather.
Those are just old myths!
And they're kinda ridiculous.
We'll see who's kinda
ridiculous when I win!
Ridiculous?! Ha! Ha!
Ronald's actually right.
Shadows are no way to predict
the weather.
What am I gonna do now?
I can't let the neighborhood
animals down!
Oh, I know!
Last year, my dad and I looked
for signs of spring
and we found lots in nature
that told us spring was coming!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Nature always has the answer!
Let the nature hunt for Spring
clues begin!
Tally ho!
So last year when spring was
coming, we saw...
Birds back from their winters
spent down south...
Sap started oozing out of
trees.
We saw crocus flowers pushing
up through the melting snow.
And tiny buds growing on trees.
Huh.
It doesn't look like any birds
have come back yet for spring.
No sap oozing there.
And I don't see any of those
crocus flowers anywhere!
No buds, either.
Well, no early signs of
spring today.
Are there any more clues
out here?
Whoa! Feel that?
It just got a little colder!
And cloudier!
Whoa...
The wind's coming from over
there now!
Oh! Nature Cat, these just might
be the clues you need!
According to this,
a sudden change in temperature
and wind direction
means the weather might
change too!
It could be just what you
wanted, Hal! A snow storm!
Well, I may not be able
to predict
if spring will come early,
but I can make a weather
prediction for today-- snow!
Come on! Onward and yonward!
Okay!
It's time to celebrate
Groundhog Day,
but this year we have two cats
predicting the weather.
Go figure!
Nature Cat...!
And his opponent:
Ronald!
Who's ready for spring?
(Cheering)
Nooooo! It can't be!
So is that your prediction,
Ronald?
It sure is.
Says here, "If the nose is
running, spring is coming."
See? Spring is starting,
tomorrow!
(Cheering)
Not so fast, Ronald!
I, Nature Cat, predict
that we are not done with
winter just yet!
I may not know what the weather
will be in six weeks,
but I can say with some
confidence
that we will see more snow!
Woohoo!
It's a battle for the ages,
folks.
Is it an early spring?
Or will winter hang on?
Where'd you get your prediction,
Nature Cat?
From nature!
We saw the temperature drop
suddenly,
the wind change direction,
and those dark clouds roll in!
It's a recipe for snow!
That means nothing,
and this is no contest.
Spring!
CROWD:
Spring! Spring! Spring!
RONALD:
That's right, Nature Cat!
Spring is here to--
Huh?!
But... but...
It's supposed to be spring.
Thank you, Nature Cat,
for your correct afternoon
weather prediction!
And I couldn't have done it
without my friends!
(Cheering)
Happy Birthday, Hal!
Yeah! Happy Birthday to Hal!
Oh wait, that's me!
Wheeeee!
I'm not giving up!
Spring's coming!
It's coming, I tell you!
(Screaming)
Ha ha!
I'd rather play in the weather
than predict it!
Woo-hoo!
HAL:
Best birthday ever!
I'm so happy! (Laughing)

DAISY:
Man-oh-man!
We've had so much fun this
winter!
This winter has been
sensational!
And it's not done yet!
My sledding birthday party
is in two days
and it's gonna be another
winter-iffic winter day!
Hooray!
Hey guys!
Might not be as much winter left
as you think.
Warm spring weather might come
early this year!
If spring comes early
then it'll be warmer
and then all the snow will melt
and then we can't sled at my
sledding birthday party
and then I'll be so sad!
Well, how do we know if Spring's
warm weather is coming early?
Well, we're in luck, you guys.
'Cause it's Groundhog Day!
It's Groundhog Day?!
Today?!
♪ It's Groundhog Day! ♪
♪ It's Groundhog Day! ♪
♪ It's Groundhog Day! ♪
♪ Hooray!
Every year on February 2nd,
the groundhog comes
out of its hole
to let everyone know
if spring's coming early!
The groundhog knows all!
Whoa!
Sweet!
When does Groundhog Day start?
Right now! Over in the woods!
Then, it's time to find out
if spring will come early!
Onward and yonward to
Groundhog Day!
Oh, Spring just can't come early
this year! It can't!
Hey-oooo!
It's Grrrooundhog Day!
Oh yeah!
I'm honored to introduce
the legend
that makes this whole thing
possible!
The man of the hour,
the talk of the town,
the rodent of the moment,
here he is...
The Groundhoooggg!
(Cheering)
I said...
The Groundhooog!!!
Uh... Groundhog?
GROUNDHOG:
Nobody's home. Really.
I'm not even here.
Nobody's here right now.
This is a recording.
Okay, groundhog,
I know you're in there.
Come out. It's your day today!
Hey. Aren't you coming out?
No.
Why not?
Because I'm no good, that's why!
Look, you gotta get someone else
to do my job. Please!
(Gasping)
Okay, wait, hold on a sec--
No. I'm not good.
My record doesn't lie.
In the last 10 years,
I've been right five times
and wrong five times.
I'm getting a stomach ache
just thinking about it.
Sorry...
What about knowing if Spring
will come early?
Spring just can't come early!
If it does, then it'll be warmer
and then all the snow will melt
and then we can't sled at my
sledding birthday party
and then I'll be so sad!
What are we going to do?
When's spring coming?
Now we'll never know!
Friends and neighbors!
I, Nature Cat,
am here to save the day!
I will predict whether spring
will be early this year,
or winter hangs on!
(Cheering)
Okay, Nature Cat,
so what's your prediction?
Why, MC Ferret, that is an
excellent question.
That I will gladly answer...
later today!
RONALD:
Can I have your attention
please?!
Ronald...
I'm going to give my own weather
prediction later too!
And it's gonna be the correct
weather prediction!
Ho ho ho.
We'll see about that, Ronald!
Oh yeah, we sure will see about
that, Nature Cat!
You heard it here, folks,
come back later
to hear Nature Cat's and
Ronald's prediction!
Who will be right?!
(Cheering)
What did I get myself into?
I like saving the day and all,
but I don't know how to predict
the arrival of spring
like the groundhog!
What was I thinking?
You just need to stop
thinking...
let things happen...
and be the groundhog.
Be the groundhog? How?
Simple, my friend.
It's all about the shadows.
Shadows?
Yep, when the groundhog
sees his shadow,
it means six more weeks
of winter.
If he doesn't see his shadow,
it's an early spring!
See my shadow, huh?
(Laughing)
Easy as pie! I can do that!
Okay, hmm.
I see my shadow!
Ha ha!
More winter to come!
Well, I gotta tell ya
that was easy!
Oh. Wait, no, sorry.
No shadow. My bad.
Early spring it is!
No, hold on, new development,
now there is a shadow--
and immediately no shadow.
Wow, okay. So...
Shadow. No shadow. Shadow.
No shadow.
Ahhh! What is going on here?
Oh, it's the clouds.
They're making your shadow
appear and disappear...
Hey, am I the only one that is,
like, super confused right now?
Right?!
No wonder the groundhog wasn't
very successful at predicting!
(Ronald laughing)
Ronald!
Well, hello, Nature Cat.
Shadow problems?
(Chuckling)
Yes. I mean, no!
Maybe!
Shadows are no way to predict
spring's arrival.
And what, pray tell,
makes you so qualified?
My great, great, great,
great grandfather
wrote the book on predicting
seasons and weather!
Pshaw! That's just an
expression.
"If on Sunday rain there be,
expect the week
more rain to see."
Boom! Take that!
Oh, come on, Ronald,
just 'cause it rains on a Sunday
doesn't mean it's going to
rain the whole week!
I'm not buying what you're
selling.
Or this one!
"When grass is eaten by a dog,
there will be a lot of fog..."
Boom shakalaka!
I don't know how
a dog eating grass
has anything to do with weather.
Those are just old myths!
And they're kinda ridiculous.
We'll see who's kinda
ridiculous when I win!
Ridiculous?! Ha! Ha!
Ronald's actually right.
Shadows are no way to predict
the weather.
What am I gonna do now?
I can't let the neighborhood
animals down!
Oh, I know!
Last year, my dad and I looked
for signs of spring
and we found lots in nature
that told us spring was coming!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Nature always has the answer!
Let the nature hunt for Spring
clues begin!
Tally ho!
So last year when spring was
coming, we saw...
Birds back from their winters
spent down south...
Sap started oozing out of
trees.
We saw crocus flowers pushing
up through the melting snow.
And tiny buds growing on trees.
Huh.
It doesn't look like any birds
have come back yet for spring.
No sap oozing there.
And I don't see any of those
crocus flowers anywhere!
No buds, either.
Well, no early signs of
spring today.
Are there any more clues
out here?
Whoa! Feel that?
It just got a little colder!
And cloudier!
Whoa...
The wind's coming from over
there now!
Oh! Nature Cat, these just might
be the clues you need!
According to this,
a sudden change in temperature
and wind direction
means the weather might
change too!
It could be just what you
wanted, Hal! A snow storm!
Well, I may not be able
to predict
if spring will come early,
but I can make a weather
prediction for today-- snow!
Come on! Onward and yonward!
Okay!
It's time to celebrate
Groundhog Day,
but this year we have two cats
predicting the weather.
Go figure!
Nature Cat...!
And his opponent:
Ronald!
Who's ready for spring?
(Cheering)
Nooooo! It can't be!
So is that your prediction,
Ronald?
It sure is.
Says here, "If the nose is
running, spring is coming."
See? Spring is starting,
tomorrow!
(Cheering)
Not so fast, Ronald!
I, Nature Cat, predict
that we are not done with
winter just yet!
I may not know what the weather
will be in six weeks,
but I can say with some
confidence
that we will see more snow!
Woohoo!
It's a battle for the ages,
folks.
Is it an early spring?
Or will winter hang on?
Where'd you get your prediction,
Nature Cat?
From nature!
We saw the temperature drop
suddenly,
the wind change direction,
and those dark clouds roll in!
It's a recipe for snow!
That means nothing,
and this is no contest.
Spring!
CROWD:
Spring! Spring! Spring!
RONALD:
That's right, Nature Cat!
Spring is here to--
Huh?!
But... but...
It's supposed to be spring.
Thank you, Nature Cat,
for your correct afternoon
weather prediction!
And I couldn't have done it
without my friends!
(Cheering)
Happy Birthday, Hal!
Yeah! Happy Birthday to Hal!
Oh wait, that's me!
Wheeeee!
I'm not giving up!
Spring's coming!
It's coming, I tell you!
(Screaming)
Ha ha!
I'd rather play in the weather
than predict it!
Woo-hoo!
HAL:
Best birthday ever!
I'm so happy! (Laughing)
