Tiny Tim (cat)

Tiny Tim is a cat with a broken leg that appeared in A Special Sesame Street Christmas. Maria found the cat in the alley behind 123 Sesame Street. The injured cat had slipped on an icey fire escape and broke its leg. Maria dressed the cat up with a red ribbon, and put a cast on its broken leg.

Maria introduced the cat to Leslie Uggams, who was determined that the cat needed a name and the two decided on "Tiny Tim" in honor of the character Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol.

On the evening of November 19th the cat had broken into Oscar's Trash Can and took 2 fish.

In the end Oscar has a change of heart and takes the kitten in declaring "Are you people gonna stand around singing while that poor cat freezes? Hand him up here".
