Very Mary-Kate is a comedic web series created by Elaine Carroll. The show follows the fictionalized life of Mary-Kate Olsen as she navigates college life, socializing, and being a fashion icon. In this episode, titled Cat, Mary-Kate finds herself in a bit of a predicament.
Mary-Kate and her roommate, Lizzie, are in their dorm room when they spot a stray cat outside. Lizzie tries to convince Mary-Kate to adopt the cat, but Mary-Kate is hesitant. She knows that her busy lifestyle will not allow for much time to care for an animal. Lizzie, however, is set on having a pet and convinces Mary-Kate to at least take the cat to the vet to make sure it is healthy.
At the vet's office, Mary-Kate and Lizzie learn that the cat is not actually a stray but belongs to another student, named Karen. Karen claims that the cat, named Fluffy, had escaped from her dorm room and Karen had been searching for it all day. Mary-Kate agrees to return Fluffy, but later that night, Lizzie discovers that Fluffy had actually been locked in Mary-Kate's closet the entire time.
Feeling guilty, Mary-Kate decides to make it up to Karen by throwing her a surprise party. She hopes this will distract Karen from being angry about Fluffy's disappearance. Mary-Kate and Lizzie go all out, decorating the common room with balloons, streamers, and even a piñata.
Despite their efforts, the party is a bust. Karen is not interested in celebrating and even leaves the party early to continue her search for Fluffy. Left alone with Lizzie, Mary-Kate reflects on how poorly the party went and how she disappointed Karen. Lizzie, always the optimist, tries to cheer Mary-Kate up by suggesting they adopt a different animal. Mary-Kate hesitates but ultimately agrees to the idea.
The episode ends with Mary-Kate and Lizzie at a pet store, looking at a variety of animals. It is unclear whether they will actually adopt one, but the possibility is left open.
Overall, this episode showcases the comedic writing style of Elaine Carroll and the quirky personality of Mary-Kate Olsen. It also touches on themes of guilt, friendship, and responsibility. The show has a cult following and has been praised for its absurd humor.
