This Is Jim Rockford

 

Jim, it's Beth---you have the vet's number, the flea collar, and extra litter. One thing I forgot: keep him away from other cats. He's not very discriminating.

Jim's answering machine: Chicken Little Is A Little Chicken, 1975.
Ray Danton guest stars.

This one of the most beautifully written episodes of the series. It is also hilarious. Danton is an NYC "urban horticulturist" eliminating things "what don't grow," namely Angel Martin. He also complains to his associate about why he hates west coast pizza. The opening has Angel interrupting Jim and Rocky's chess game with gangster terms detailing why Jim is going to lose the match.
