Synopsis

Mimi is determined to have a better relationship with her crusty old cat Wimbledon. But her efforts at training him go from bad to worse, and in the end, all she succeeds in doing is making Wimbledon run away. Mimi and Elaine search high and low- and they are shocked to discover that Wimbledon has become the new poster cat for the SPCA, and that he's staying with the Earls. To add insult to injury, when she tries to get him back, Wimbledon pretends that he doesn't recognize her. But when Mimi discovers that the Earls, tired of Wimbledon's bad behavior, have sent him back to the shelter- where he's slated to be "put to sleep"- Mimi and Elaine hatch a daring plan to rescue Wimbledon, thus proving her devotion for good.

Production notes

The world is simple, just poorly managed...

A snappy, savvy, family-oriented show about 11-year-old Mimi Morton, problem-solver extraordinaire! Mimi trains her earnest problem-fixing skills on her friends and family.

Mimi's family surname is variously called "Mortin" and "Morton" in studio publicity.

In the first two seasons, episodes each consisted of one cartoon. In the third season, they were each separable into two 11-minute cartoons.
