Suzie Kabloozie is an animated character who appeared in regular Sesame Street inserts, beginning in Season 26. She often sang about such subjects as imagination or reading, and interacted with her cat, Feff (also voiced by Ruth Buzzi). A handful of early Suzie Kabloozie segments, including the one involving the letter F and the one where she pretends to be a pirate, included a narrator, but most had Suzie talking to the viewer.
Suzie Kabloozie was also invoked in the street segments of Episode 3941. In that episode, Zoe announced that Suzie Kabloozie was her hero and pretended to be the character.
From her debut in 1994, Suzie Kabloozie appeared in new segments through 2000. Her segments continued to be rerun on the show through season 39. She and Feff reappeared during the end credits of Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration.

Telephone Episode 3268 |
Suzie Kabloozie tries to demonstrate what a telephone is, but keeps getting calls. | ||
The Letter F Episode 3274 |
Suzie talks about how she hates the letter F, and soon she gets her wish for all items with the letter F to go away. She learns the value of the letter so much so that she changes her cat's name from Jeff to Feff. This segment teaches not only about the letter "F", but also that you should be careful with what you wish for. This is probably Suzie Kabloozie's first sketch, as it is the one in which her cat's name is established.
