Trivia
The Cafe name "Dot's Spot" is highly likely to be an in-joke reference to the female character Amblin/Warner Bros Television Animation series "Animaniacs". The three Warners, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, (Warner Brothers Dot) were three cartoon stars from the 1930s that were locked away in the Warner Bros. water tower until the 1990s, when they escaped. The series was renowned for having an adult fanbase profile similar to the "Friends" fans, partly as "Animaniacs" made fun of celebrities, major motion pictures, and television shows for adults including Friends, among others.

Monica is petting the cat which Phoebe thinks is her mother without getting any allergic reaction, although she told her former employer (at Mockolate) she was allergic to cat hair. See more »Quotes

The One with the cat is one of the best episodes from season 4. Love how Ross explains how crazy it is that Phoebe thinks her mother is inside of the cat in spirit. Ross being the voice of reason seems to work here since all the other characters just let Phoebe believe that the cat is really her mother. However as good as this plot is I like how Joey and Chandler are trying to sell the entertainment unit better. Joey just does not want to get rid of the unit, unless of course he could get a "canoe" in exchange for it. Who can forget what happens when Joey gets into the entertainment unit "voluntarily". I do not want to give it away so you will have to see this episode to find out.
