Animal Friendships

In a country torn by conflict, a scrappy cat named Mookie refuses to let fear dim the flicker of hope. Guided by Tootsie, an aging feline sage with memories etched in every scar, Mookie rallies a ragtag band of cats longing for peace. Their destination?

As war looms in the background, their path is lit by unexpected friends, children who can still speak the language of animals, a loyal dog named Bailey, and Woje, a gentle bear descended from the legendary soldier bear Wojtek.
