And you'll meet my friends - they're so cool. There's some drama in my story, too. Think- an awesome skate comp I'm not allowed to enter, but then I am and it's going to be cancelled!

A warmly funny junior-fiction series about Kitty, a little girl who believes she can be anything she dreams - even a cat. When Kitty arrives on the doorstep of a house full of music-mad felines, their lives are turned upside down as they attempt to teach her how to be human. Some children hate going to bed. Not Kitty! Kitty falls asleep every night curled up snug as a bug in a bed box. That is, until one spooky night when Kitty's night-light goes missing and her fear of the dark comes creeping out. The cats, unfamiliar with the concept, try to settle her down but to no avail. In the end, it won't be a night-light that saves the day. Based on the Australian TV series that is enjoyed by kids the whole world over.
