Summary:

Change.

How far will one go to change something? How far would you go? Would you draw the limit at life or death?

Shenzi, a young Siamese she-cat, wants nothing more than change. After leaving the soft life of a house cat to live with her brothers, she can't help but wonder if everything will always be the same. Banzai and Ed, Shenzi's littermates, look a lot different than her. Any cat who looks like them gets kicked out by their housefolk at a very young age, while cats that look like Shenzi get to live their lives inside a warm home.

As each passing day goes by and Shenzi continues to live on the streets, she wants nothing more than to change the "tradition." Even though her life takes her on different courses that distract her from her desire to change, the thought always lingers in the back of her mind. How far will she go to achieve her goal? Along the way, she will have to face loss and death, but also love and hope that keeps her going through all the hardships. At what point does the pain become too unbearable that she gives up her dream for change? Can she continue to live in this ugly yet beautiful world?
