Two pet sitters. One talking cat. What could possibly go wrong?
Cassie and Lina are getting ready for their newest pet sitting adventure and their very first radio interview. Trixie the parrot loves everything piratey and when the girls are given pirate costumes to dress up in, Gus’ dreams are coming true. Wearing his pirate eye patch, he’s determined to be a fierce and fearless pirate captain.
But Trixie the parrot isn’t interested in becoming Gus’ first mate. She ignores his orders, squawks ‘Climb the rigging!’, and nibbles on people’s ears – making them mysteriously talk like a pirate until someone else’s ear is nibbled next! First it’s Gus, then Hugo, then…
As Cassie and Lina’s interview quickly approaches, the girls begin to panic. Between being distracted by Trixie and Gus, and trying to solve the mystery of why people keep talking like a pirate, the girls have barely had time to practice for the interview. And to make matters worse, Trixie has climbed up Cassie’s arm and nibbled on her ear too! ‘Shiver me timbers!’ says Cassie, as the girls’ horror mounts.
How can they do the very important interview if Cassie’s talking like a pirate?
Time’s running out. The girls need to find Trixie and get her to nibble someone else’s ear before the interview begins. But Trixie has flown to the top of a netted frame and Gus doesn’t want to climb the rigging to get her.
Will the girls be able to get Trixie down in time? Will Gus face his fears and climb the rigging to get her? Or will the reputation of the Barefoot Springs Pet Sitters walk the plank before the radio microphone is even turned on?
