What is This and That about?

Cat wakes early on the farm because she has a special surprise to prepare. She visits Horse, Pig, Goat, Sheep, Hen and Donkey, borrowing a stable, straw, hay, wool, feathers and a purple ribbon. Each animal asks what she needs them for, but Cat only purrs, “This and that.” Curious, the animals quietly follow her to discover the secret. As Cat gathers everything she needs, the mystery grows until the farmyard friends finally learn what she has planned.
