Not all was bright in the Garden of Eden until a mysterious sixteen-year-old traveller, Jack, arrives to shake up the animal world with the help of a neurotic cat, Miaow, universally despised because of his cowardice and duplicity. Miaow finds himself unwittingly drawn into leading an improbable uprising against King Roar and the fierce feline overlords—a conflict that can free or doom his world forever. The odds of victory are unfavourable because the clueless cat is racked by doubts and insecurities, accustomed to being taunted and bullied by his aggressive peers. Besides, the constant bungling by his equally unwise but oppressed "allies" undermines the stuttering resistance campaign because of their ingrained unreliability, impetuousness, and treachery.
