Just a little oneshot that fans of another feline franchise will probably recognize.

The camera zooms in on a suburban home's dining room table with Muppy sitting upon its surface towards the far open end.

Uncle Deadly pops his head in.
"Are we ready then?"
He looks at Muppy on the table.
"Dog, check."
He then looks at Gaffer dressed in a costume similar to what Gomez Addams wore when he was set to sing and dance the Mamushka.
"Cat, check."

He gives a satisfied nod before beginning his intro.
"Goood evening fiends. Given the tumultuous events of the last week or so, we here at Muppet Studios feel we should help smooth over western-eastern relations. So, in the spirit of internal cooperation, wait for it..."

Gaffer takes her place at the nearer closed off end of the dining table's surface.
"Kicking Muppy off the table Russian style!"

*The strains of a typical Russian Cossack dance starts playing, while Gaffer advances forward a third of the table's length, kicking out with her left foot.
*More music plays, Gaffer advances another third of the table's length, kicking out with her right foot.
*More music plays, Gaffer advances the last length of the table, kicking out with her left foot again sending Muppy flying out with a solid "thwack."
Muppy: "Arrroooooooo!"

UD: "End scene."
