The Caterena is a YTV Spoof to the VeggieTales song entitled The Hopperena. It is sung by Susie Feeble and Malinda Doe (both from Marilyn), as they teach the viewers how to meow like their pet cats. Jennifer Feeble also stars as Archibald Asparagus.
Plot[]
- Interested in Ruby and Rockford's feline fun, Susie and Malinda put on cat paws on their hands and feet, cat ears on their heads, and cat tails on their backs and they both perform The Caterena. After the song finishes, Jennifer, Vanessa, Larry, Ian, Rebecca, Harold, Shirley and Jason arrive to find their daughters and sigh with embarrassments.

- Susie: Most of the girls totally agree-e.
- Malinda: And when we're feeling really really happy -
- Together: We do the Caterena! (end singing)
- Susie: You may ask yourself, "What is the Caterena?"
- Malinda: "And how do I do the Caterena? What am I missing out on? Will people like me if I fail to grasp it? Should I just eat a bon-bon and go back to bed?"
- Susie: That's totally normal. Calm down, and we will show you! (singing) You don't need much to do the Hopperena!
- Malinda: It won't take too much time-a to explain-a!
- Susie: Fuzzy slippers on your feet -
- Malinda: Bunny ears upon your brain -
- Together: Now do the Caterena!
- Susie: Okay! Now that we've got on bunny slippers and ears, what we're going to do is take a hop to the left!
- (They hop to the left)
- Malinda: Left!
- Susie: Beautiful! Now take a hop to the right!
- (They hop to the right)
- Malinda: Right!

- (Jennifer looks through the door confusedly)
- Malinda: (offscreen) We do the Caterena!
- Susie: Then hop to the right -
- Jennifer: Hold it!
- Susie: Hop!
- Malinda: Hop!
- Jennifer: Stop the music! What are you doing?!
- (The girls continue to bounce up and down, saying "hop" quietly)
- Jennifer: Hop to the left, hop to the right, hop to the left, hop to the right again - This isn't a dance, it's hopscotch!
- Susie: That's Caterena!
- (Malinda nods proudly)
- Jennifer: The dance has to be more involved! You need more steps, more room for interpretation!
- (The girls look at Jennifer blankly)
- Malinda: We have... cat ears!
- Susie: You think it's so easy? Let's see you do it!
- Jennifer: Alright, then!
- (Music resumes playing and Archibald hops to the left and to the right. Susie takes off his cat ears.)
- Susie: No, no, no, no, no! You need the ears and feet.
- (Malinda puts her slippers on Jennifer as Susie puts her ears on Jennifer's head)
- (Music resumes)
- Susie: (singing) Jennifer is a serious girl!
- Malinda: I believe you'd probably agree with us!

- Susie: Ahm, can I have my ears back?
- Jennifer: Ha, ha, ha, haha!
- (Jennifer climbs onto exercise ball, continuing to hum while the music plays. The girls look on.)
- Malinda: Okay, that's enough, thank you!
- Jennifer: (continues to laugh while the other exercise ball is knocked down and he bounces into the waltzing diagram) This is very pleasant!
