Enzo is cranky. His humans have brought an invader into their home. It is taking all their attention and even causing friction between Enzo and his humans. The invader named Pawsha, according to the humans, “…is so cute.” But Enzo isn’t having a hair of it. This cute bundle is allowed to do things that Enzo has never been allowed to do, and even lands Enzo into trouble for its behaviour.

Longing for escape to a new mission at the PAWS spy agency that he has been recruited to, Enzo is put out again by learning that the kitten is already an agent. What makes things worse is they are to be sent together on a new mission. Enzo tries to claim seniority on the assignment, but Pawsha isn’t having that, making decisions without Enzo’s approval and launching them into danger.

What follows is a surveillance job through a busy shopping mall, a tactical move into the villain’s lair and several things going terribly wrong along the way.

The 2nd in this series about a special cat door that takes a cat to a secret cat spy agency named PAWS. This episode can be read without the first in the series. I enjoyed this adventure as much as the first, with the added twist of a cute kitten in the mix.

Enzo is back, but this time he has competition. A cute kitten named Pawsha has invaded his home and his place in the PAWS agency. Thrown together on a mission, Enzo is keen to prove himself, but so is Pawsha – bringing an action packed tale about tails.

Enzo’s humans might think this kitten is cute, but his jealousy at being left out of cuddles by his owners, and the kitten’s close connection to the PAWS agency leaders, consumes him. A gradual understanding and respect that builds between them is never smooth as tension rises in their mission to prove the evil doings of a winklepicker villain.

I particularly enjoyed Enzo’s interpretation of human behavior and daily life. I’ll let you determine what a rain booth and human-mover are, among others.

The story finishes with a promise of more missions to come.
