Meet Marmalade, a cute orange-striped kitten AND an accomplished architect.  Although the city-planner is impressed by Marmalade’s plans for the human Mayor’s new mansion, he dismisses her because she is too cute. Determined to prove her expertise, Marmalade forms her own construction company with three other capable felines: Sampson, a trained electrical engineer, Bubbles, a plumber, and Professor Von Wigglebottom, a carpenter.  Along with a workforce of stray kitties, the team locates an abandoned construction site and proceeds to build the mansion using Marmalade's plans, thus creating strong competition for the humans. This delightful graphic novel with a zany enterprising cast of kitty characters will tickle your funny bone while sending a message about fairness in the workplace.
