The Cackle Street Cats

Shadowshanks and Pumpkinpaws are the very best of friends, but their owners can’t stand each other, even though they haven’t spoken in years. The two cats are desperate to bring their friendship out of the shadows, but Araminta Aconite and Persephone Perwinkle are a pair of stubborn sourpusses.

With musical mayhem, mischievous misunderstandings and of course, a sprinkle of magic, the Cackle Street Cats try to reconcile Persephone and Araminta before the Midsummer Festival.
