I inferred you want to know where to add punctuations in the sentence above.

Answer:

"Don't worry, honey, " said Mom. "If Rocky doesn't come home, we'll go to the humane society and pick out another cat."

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, what is said in English is usually written following the rules of writing in English. Thus, the after the statement "Don't worry" there's suppose to be a comma which indicates a brief pause by the speaker, followed by the words "honey". Also we include a punctuation since the quoting of the speaker is briefly stopped. And then we proceed with adding punctuation to areas that would need a brief pause for the listeners to absorb the thought been expressed.
