What is I Am Spartapuss about?

Spartapuss is a young cat living in the Feline Empire of ancient Rome, where humans have never existed. When a rude poem appears on the walls of a royal bathhouse, he is blamed and sent to prison. Soon he is transferred to a gladiator training school, just as the cruel Catligula seizes power and imposes bizarre new laws. To win his freedom, Spartapuss must survive the arena, outwit his enemies and uncover the truth behind the scandal.
