Synopsis
All is not well at Casa Shitty Kitty. Not only does Ziggie treats Shitty Kitty as a doormat and scapegoat, but a new bully in town has started picking on Ziggie. This has gotten Shitty Kitty riled up, as no one is allowed to torture Ziggie – except for Shitty Kitty of course.
Shitty Kitty tries to gather the gang to make evil plans on how to get rid of the bully and get Ziggie back in shape, so their internal war can continue.
But the otherwise faithful friends, the dead rodent, Ooze Mouse, the omnivorous and gluttonous, Peter Pug, and the shy pitbull, Killer Karen, are busy hanging out with the new cool pet on the block.
Suddenly, Shitty Kitty’s position as the king of the castle is threatened, and Shitty Kitty must fight for its territory and decide how far it dares to go? And what’s really important in life, when you suffer from a big ego and has a penchant for fatty fish.
