(pleasant electronic music) - [Instructor] To access object properties and methods using dot notation, we first need to start by getting the object, so the object here is cat, then dot, and then the property that we want to access is name, so this should get us the cat's name. To get to the owner's name, we have one more level of objects that we need to move through. So we start with cat, but then we need to go into the owner object, so .owner, and then inside of the owner object, we can get the owner name property, so .name.

Stephanie has a cute cat named Honey Badger. Great job.
