Storyline

Plot Summary

Jamie's (Helen Hunt) sister Lisa (Anne Ramsay) hears her Biological clock tick. Ira (John Pankow) convinces Lisa that she is not ready for a baby. Adopting an animal from the New York Animal Shelter is the better way to test, to see if she's still irresponsible or ready for a child. Lisa's rescue from the Animal Shelter is not some ordinary cat. Shredding clothing to hats and jumping six-feet vertically into the air should have been the sign that there's a Puma in the kitchen. Jamie and Paul are left to fend for themselves in this David Steinberg directed work.
