Laughter and silliness are forbidden at The Acatemy, where "all the best" teenage kittens live and train to be stealth, cool, emotionless predators who do everything absolutely purrrrrrfectly. Cats are vicious and vain. They're supposed to be cut-throat, refined individualists, so making friends is frowned upon and being part of a fun, loving community is as sickening as a hairball. Not to mention, it's against Acatemy rules.

The Miskits are a new breed, secretly led by M-Kit, the popular Burmese who wants peace and loe for all cats. "Cat we all just get along? 9 lives are too short. Frolic a little." In a morally upside down world where good is bad and bad is good, The Miskits are trafficking in illegal fun through the art of pranks. Whether they're doing a massive Reverse Pickpocket (where they stuff cat toys into students' pockets and run away) or they break into a Sudden Dance Musical in the quad, they instantly stir-up trouble then disappear before the authorities can arrive. (Like those Flash Mobs and Pranks we read about in the paper all of the time.)

The Miskits are recruiting, but like the French Resistance, they have to take it slowly and do everything secretly. In an unbending, authoritarian feline society where catnip is verboten because it causes silliness, the horrifying punishment can be as severe as a dip in the dreaded dunk-tank (a giant public toilet bowl into which misbehaving cats are dropped). Oh, the humiliation! It's like a public guillotine for the ego. This dunk tank is so bad they call it "H2-OH-MY!!!
