Explanation[edit | edit source]

The edit is self-explanatory enough, but the title is a rather oblique reference to the first episode of the animated series Steven Universe, which heavily revolves around the title character's favorite confectionery - "Cookie Cat". Garfield is a cat, and claims to be saving a cookie (though it's not there), so the connection (once you know what the title is about) is pretty obvious. Speaking of which, the title itself comes from a bit in said episode where Steven recites an advertising jingle/rap for the brand right before eating it - right down to the spoken disclaimer at the end: "Now available at Gurgen's off Route 109!"

Is the title too obscure or not obscure enough?
