About this episode

Calla and her team of rats navigate the dangerous tunnels of Rat City to rescue a witch's cat while facing ghost ferrets.

Calla and a small team of rats venture into the ancient tunnels beneath Rat City to find the witch's missing cat. The ghost ferrets are waiting for them. The creatures attack from every direction at once, silent, fast, impossible to track in the dark. Calla fights back with a pocket knife and a lamp and it is not nearly enough. She gets badly scratched before the rats pull her out, the wounds turning black at the edges in a way that is not good. But just before she escapes, she spots something deep in the tunnel: Sable the cat, sitting perfectly still and watching. Not scared. Not hurt. Calm. Perfect for kids ages 6-11 during car rides and bedtime listening.
