Welcome to Meow Meow Furrington, the capital of cats. You are Cuddles Nutterbutter, feline private detective and owner of two perfectly normal paws. After agreeing to a last-minute case for the chief of police, you and your plucky assistant investigate a murder that could upset the balance between the city's two most powerful crime families: the Montameeuws and the Catulets.
