Kitty Corner has new neighbours. Lucy is excited to meet Leo and his dad, but soon realises that there is a problem. Their dog is going crazy, barking constantly at the felines that are lurking in the forest, just beyond the wall. Leo's dad is equally upset at the cats that are messing up his flowerbeds. The Kitty Corner cats aren't going anywhere, and it seems the new neighbours are here to stay. Can the two worlds live side by side in peace? Lucy is about to face her biggest challenge yet. Can she restore harmony to Kitty Corner?
