  • A needy kitten rescued from the recycling bin teaches a new father how to parent his own human baby.
  • An elderly cat hatches a plan to pass into the next world as a spirit so that he and his owner may be together forever.
  • A colony of wild cats on a holiday island shows a young boy not to stand in nature's way.
  • A family is perplexed by their cat's devotion to their charismatic but uncaring father.
