Synopsis

Slinky Malinki, a mischievous black cat, awakens from a cosy nap and slips out through the catflap into the night. He gathers his feline friends—Greywacke Jones, Butterball Brown, the Poppadum kittens, and more—for a moonlit adventure. Perched ten in a row on the wall, their merriment is interrupted by the grumpy Scarface Claw. A cacophony of hissing and yowling ensues, disturbing the neighbours. Eventually, Scarface retreats, and the friends return to Slinky Malinki's home, where they snuggle by the fire, contentedly hobnobbing ten in a row.
