His Royal Whiskers

His Royal Whiskers

Something bad has happened to Prince Alexander, the only heir to the mighty Petrossian Empire.
Something worse than kidnapping.
Something worse than murder.

Somehow, the Prince has been miraculously transformed into a fluffy-wuffy kitten.

Why has this terrible catastrophe happened?
Who are the boy and girl brewing secret potions down in the palace kitchens?
And how are they possibly going to avoid getting their heads chopped off?
