Plot
The series follows the adventures of two blue, barely recognizable, tailless cat siblings named Kit and Kate, wondering what to play for the day, get inside a box and discover an item. The siblings then get out of the box and go on an 'adventure' related to the item. However, their 'adventure' often ends in a bad result because of a behavior of either Kit, Kate or both. Then, either the siblings' mother or father appears, disguised as someone passing by, and discusses the situation until either Kit or Kate understand what they need to learn. The siblings, already recognizing their parent, thank the parent, and go on their 'adventure' again from the beginning, but doing some things differently as advised, this time ending in success.In every episode of season 2, Kit and Kate make up a story together, sometimes getting help from their parents and grandfather to think of the name of the story and its synopsis. The story then begins with a character doing a specific thing. Then, Kit and Kate high-five each other which magically sends them into the story. Often, the character mentioned in the story or Kit and Kate get into a bit of a hassle, but as soon as they learn something, they try retelling the story, but this time changing it via the moral that they learnt all the way.
Although the main characters are rumored and were intended to be cats, they don't look much like cats.
