When the old queen died, little did the kingdom know that she had left her beloved cat in charge. King Cat requires six hundred and forty-three naps a day, eats only the finest salmon from the lake and his milk must be served in a golden chalice. Soon enough the kingdom begins to despair, without a proper ruler in charge. But will anyone be able to come up with a solution?
