И их терпению от тирании человека приходит конец. Издатель Грея Фрэнк Ричардс считает новую книгу по меньшей мере странной, но, тем не менее, соглашается издать ее, если Грей предоставит убедительные доказательства. Он должен написать три рассказа, основанные на реальных событиях, доказывающих кошачий заговор…
