Our tale concerns the adventures of Catherine and her three feline companions in a fantasy land populated by the Giant Cookie, Devious Troll, Nasty Elf, Fourth Cat (at the Mouse-a-Rama) and The Witch with a Plan to Save the World.

As the play opens we find Catherine sobbing in her bedroom, an all-too-common occurrence that particularly annoys the cats, as it disturbs their sleep. This leads Ms. T.

, a caring cat, and Mountain, whose sleek black fur bespeaks a devil-may-care attitude, to discourse on the human condition in the song, CATS ARE AND PEOPLE ARE NOT.

Mountain believes the only hope for Catherine is for The Witch to cast a spell on her. After consulting Tottles, the philosopher cat who speaks mainly in rhyme, Ms. T. tentatively agrees, but worries about the dangers of spells since Catherine, like all humans, gets only one life, not nine.

The cats bestow on Catherine the power to understand their language -- "It will be fun to talk to our pet!" says Ms. T. They lead Catherine into a fantasy world, where Ms. T. lectures her on improving her eating habits in TAKE THE TIME TO SAVOR, THAT FEATHER FUR AND FISHY FLAVOR.

When Catherine is unexpectedly assaulted by the Giant Cookie, the group escapes to the top of a bridge where Mountain, in SCAREDY-CAT, maintains that discretion is the better part of valor.

Mountain urges Catherine to visit The Witch, whom Mountain describes as "an old pussy-cat at heart." When Ms. T. disputes that characterization, Catherine turns to Tottles, who weighs in with CURIOSITY, and the issue is decided in favor of the trip.

Before they can leave, however, the Troll, who controls the bridge, appears and interests Catherine in armfuls of expensive gizmos which he trots out from under the bridge. Disdainful of the Troll and his trinkets, Tottles sneaks under the bridge where he sleeps on and breaks one of the Troll's prize possessions, leading to the song, A CAT'S FAVORITE LETTERS ARE ZZZZS.
