After a delightful catnap and dreams of swimming in a bowl of milk, Boris the cat has a feeling that things are not quite as they should be. Something is strange... Boris has woken up with the wrong shadow; in fact, it's the shadow of a small mouse! Not wanting to ruin his afternoon, Boris goes for a walk and all the other cats snicker at him--even the birds don't bother to look at him. When he finds his shadow skipping by without a care in the world Boris must convince Vernon the mouse (who has "borrowed" Boris's shadow) to give his shadow back to him. Eventually, Boris is able to regain his shadow and show his new, small friend that you don't have to be BIG to be a superstar.
