The Catier Emerald

'Your mission," said the chief, "should you choose to accept it, is to penetrate DOG Fortress, disguised as a pedigree kitten." Kitten Kaboodle is no ordinary cat. He d rather chase a Rottweiler than a ribbon and prefers kung-fu to cuddles. He is the number one secret agent at CAT - the Clandestine Activity Taskforce. When pedigree kittens start disappearing, Kitten Kaboodle is on the job. Who could guess that this mission will lead him straight to DOG - the Disaster Organisation Group - and the priceless Catier Emerald?
