Let me introduce you to Magoosy. Magoosy the cat. Magoosy is a stray moggy who lives in a deserted attic. So, what's new, I hear you say. But this tomcat is different. He's a streetwise cat with three passions in life: knitting, maps, but most importantly, fish. So, one night, Magoosy sets off with a map and a mission. His target - Larry's fish shop. His aim - to steal as much fish as he can. However, when Magoosy finds himself in the bank, instead of the fish shop, things start to go seriously wrong. And when the alarm begins to ring and the police arrive, our hero has to admit that the game's up. But, luckily for this inept cat-burglar, a happy end lies in sight. Not only does he receive an award for "the worst burglar ever", but his 'punishment' is to live with Larry and have a lifelong supply of fish. I guess you could say that this cat got the cream...
