About Kid vs. Kat
Targeted at kids aged 6-11 Kid vs. Kat is about the exaggerated conflict between a demonically malevolent cat and Coop, the beleaguered ten-year-old boy, to whom it has taken a demented dislike. When Coop’s spoiled little sister Millie brings home Kat, a
stray kitty of mysterious origin, his idyllic life is turned upside-down. It’s obvious to Coop that Kat wants to annihilate him. The problem is he has no evidence to prove it, as by the time his Dad comes onto the smoking, debris-littered scene, all evidence pointing to
Kat is gone.
