4A Canadian children's television program that aired on Creator/{{YTV}} in the 1990s, spun off from some interstitial segments that aired on the channel beforehand. The premise was quite simple; PJ Katie (real name Jennifer Racicot), the show's host, had some farm animal figurines she made from plasticine, and she would tell stories about the various adventures the animals have.

6!!This show provides examples of:
7
8* AuthorAvatar: PJ Katie made a plasticine avatar of herself, also named PJ Katie, to interact with the animals.
9* FlyingSaucer: PJ Katie uses a danish to represent a flying saucer in one episode.
10* {{Gasshole}}: PJ Katie often struggled to make the sound of a horse neighing, so Blue tends to sound like he's passing gas rather than neighing.
11%% * LargeHam: PJ Katie, of course.
12%% * NoFourthWall
13* NoNameGiven: In the original YTV interstitial segments, PJ Katie didn't immediately come up with a name for Percival the pig and waited for viewers to send letters to her suggesting a name for the character; the pig was referred to as simply "the nameless pig" and "the pig with no name" before he got a proper name.
14* OffTheShelfFX: All the props looked like they were made by PJ Katie herself or bought from the dollar store.
15* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Many of the characters have strong accents that PJ Katie clearly starts to struggle with after a while, as the episode rolls on.
16* SpinOff: Started as a between-show segment as part of the standard "PJ" lineup on YTV.
17* TalkingAnimal: All the clay animals can talk.
18* ThemeTuneRollCall: The theme song introduces all of the animals one by one.
19* TitleThemeTune:
