Overview
Mr. Wuffles is an elegant black and white cat who seems uninterested in typical cat toys like stuffed mice, rattling toys, or toy goldfish. How dull and conventional! Then, he discovers a small metal sphere with feet. What is that? The cat has no idea that it’s a tiny spaceship containing several green aliens. Mr. Wuffles does what any cat would do with something new and unknown: he starts to play with it, unaware of the consequences.
