A kitten and a puppy stand beside their mothers, and the body parts they share light up one at a time: pointy ears, whiskers and a tail for the cats, floppy ears and brown spots for the dogs. Each young animal then grows into the grown-up shape, showing that many young animals look like their parents and grow bigger.
