After losing his family (and everyone he ever knew) in a tragic accident, Darnall falls in love with trash talking, cigarette smoking, knighted cat from Britain that he adopts from the ASPCA. His infatuation with this feline turns Darnall into a social misfit. When his living conditions decline, the cat is eventually taken away from him. But even after assimilating into society and having a human relationship, Darnall continues to long for his four-legged family.
