Welcome to Carabas, where cats and dogs live together—but harmony comes at a price.

Searching for his missing Siamese girlfriend Moira, feline journalist Julius Kyle bravely ventures beyond the city he knows into a wilderness governed by feral cats and ravenous rats.

In the town of Carabas, just beyond the forest's reach, Julius allies himself with a big-eared military lynx and a snowshoe hooked on catnip. Just as Moira's trail finally grows warm, Julius learns that something nasty has followed him from the wilderness. The fur is sure to fly in this sequel to the bestselling Milk Treading.
