** They may have shot them from a normal POV to a point, before turning the wall horizontal and having them climb that. Either that, or Dan knows an SFX team who know how to edit out the wiring.

[[folder: Cat In the Box]]
* In "#StuckInABox", Cat gets trapped in Dice's "magical" box for over a day and only breathes through...a tube. How the heck does she even have enough air to survive? And how does she eat/drink? Also, when did they pick her up (in the end she falls off the car)?

** It's shown that the small hole allows for ventilation, and she drinks through the same tube. The gang probably retraced their steps with the car to find her again.
*** But that being said, how did she ACTUALLY get out?

[[folder: Freddie and buttocks]]
* Is Freddie just ashamed of the word "buttocks", but not the word "butt"? In "#TheKillerTunaJump", Freddie tells cat that he has never said "buttocks" in front of a girl before, and while that may technically be true, there was a conversation in ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' that involved Sam saying, "Guess what I have?", and Freddie responding, "Pimples on your butt." Freddie doesn't look the least bit ashamed after saying this.[[note]] He ''does'' look terrified, because he realized he just insulted ''Sam'', but that's beside the point.[[/note]] So why would he be ashamed of the full word but not the shortened version, especially if he's using the the full word in a purely medical sense, while using the shortened version to outright insult a girl?

[[folder: Sam and hugging]]
* Why does Sam not like to be hugged anymore (i.e. Cat who just LOVE to hug and to come REAL close to Sam), while in ''iCarly'' she always did not mind to hug or be hugged by Carly? Is there a possibility that this is a SeriesContinuityError or has a deeper meaning in that it reminds her of Carly and she still misses her?
** Carly and Sam were friends for a long time, whereas she and Cat have met very recently. It can be noted that she was never one for touching when it came to the other characters in ''iCarly''.

* Where in the world is Cat's accent from? She has an... unusual way of talking. It almost sounds like a FakeBrit with a SpeechImpediment trying to sound like a ValleyGirl.



* Where did Cat sleep before her Nona moved out and Sam moved in? [=#BabysitterWar=] made a pretty big point out of the fact that there's only one bedroom with one bed in it, but in [=#Pilot=] Cat didn't sleep on the couch (until she decided to, for Sam), so there was at least another bed. I don't know how likely it is that Cat shared a room with Nona.

* I'm just curious. In the episode ''[=#ToddlerClimbing=]'', how would the toddlers climbing be shot? It's essentially the equivalent of rock climbing, which no toddler could do.
** I assumed that they shot them from a normal POV to a point, before turning the wall horizontal and having them climb that. Either that, or Dan knows an SFX team who know how to edit out the wiring.
** The way they shot the toddlers climbing is explained on the show's website samandcat.com, more specifically, their Lil' Sam & Cat Show, where they show some behind the scenes footage for each episode of the show... (the one for Toddler Climbing is here: http://samandcat.nick.com/lil-sam-and-cat-show/the-lil-sam-cat-show-toddler-climbing).
*** ... And here I was, thinking that was a fan-made parody. [[OhCrap Oh boy...]]

* In the episode ''[=#Lumpatious=]'', Sam and Cat need to prove "lumpatious" is a word to win a bet. After finding out its not real, they go to Oxnard to have the word put in their dictionary. The "Word Keepers" will only put the word in the dictionary if a famous person says it. The next half of the episode has Sam and Cat trying to find someone famous to say the word.
** But they already know a famous person, Sam herself. Did they forget that she was the co-star of a web series that was popular worldwide?

* In ''[=#BabysittingCommercial=]'', near the tail end of the titular commercial there's a disclaimer that says, among other things, that all the children in the commercial are paid actors. During another part of the commercial there's a sequence of children saying how great their Babysitting was and then the last kid going "ENGH! >=(" or some other unsatisfied, sour grunting noise. My question is: Why would Sam & Cat pay him to do that? In-Universe RuleOfFunny for the commercial?

* Is Freddie just ashamed of the word buttocks, but not the word butt? In #Thekillertunajump Freddie tells cat that he has never said buttocks in front of a girl before, and while that may technically be true, I remember a conversation in Series/ICarly that goes something like Sam saying "Guess what I have" and Freddie responding "Pimples on your butt.".

** I doubt Freddie sees Sam as a girl.
** It was actually Sam who said pimples on your butt, however Freddie did once say her butt was "shaped like a ham". However, this was in the first season, during which he said multiple times that he didn't count Sam as a girl.
** No. Freddie was the one who said pimples on your butt.

* I am not sure if someone else has already pointed it out, but I am just VERY curious about the exact reason why Sam does not like to be hugged anymore (i.e. Cat who just LOVE to hug and to come REAL close to Sam)? While in iCarly she always do not mind to hug or be hugged by Carly. Is there a possibility that this is it a SeriesContinuityError or has basically a more deeper meaning that it reminds her of Carly and still miss her deeply?
** Carly and Sam were friends for a long time, whereas she and Cat have met very recently. It can be noted that she was never one for touching when it came to the other characters in iCarly
*** that's actually not true. This Troper remembers multiple hugs with Freddie and Spencer on ICarly. The case with Cat becomes even more odd when you consider that Sam hugs Goomer and Dice sometimes without complaining
