A NIGHT OUT
In a lavish suburban cottage where wealth and propriety rule every detail, a pampered Persian cat lives a life of immaculate comfort—lavender bows, fine china meals, and a perfectly tended garden. His world is one of quiet elegance, overseen by a Wall Street magnate who builds churches without ever attending them, and attended by a devoted French maid who tends his every need.
Everything changes when a scruffy, one‑eyed street cat named Ringtail Pete drops in, clutching a struggling bullfrog and muttering in a gritty dialect. The encounter rattles the Persian’s polished routine, sparking a curious mix of disdain, fascination, and the first hint of adventure beyond the garden wall. As the two felines size each other up, listeners are drawn into a witty clash of class, survival, and unexpected companionship that promises to upend the tidy order of their lives.
